Research summary
AI-generated

Thomas S. Redick studies human memory and attention, particularly working memory (the mental system used to temporarily hold and manipulate information) and how it relates to broader cognitive abilities like intelligence, reading comprehension, and multitasking. Much of his work examines whether working memory training programs can produce lasting improvements in other cognitive skills, and how individual differences in attention control and memory capacity predict everyday cognitive performance. This research is grounded in cognitive psychology and uses behavioral experiments and individual-differences methods.
