Research interests

My main research interest is the devolpment of cognitive architectures that can account for a wide variety of human behaviors and the flexibility of human intelligence. In particular, I am interested in the way memory is shaped by the environment and how simple reiforcement mechanisms can explain complex behaviors. Most of the work I have done has been carried out within the ACT-R architecture.
