The DARCI Project
Photo posted by Psychology-SpotCurrently we have collected data from 108 young adult participants between the ages of 18-25 and 91 older adult participants above the age of 60 using the CloudResearch online recruitment and research system.
The goal of this research project involves collecting young and older adult data corresponding to the psychological constructs of Crystallized Intelligence (i.e., general knowledge) and Fluid Intelligence (i.e., reasoning) data as well as novel data on adult Rationality (i.e., good thinking).
This is one of the first online efforts to gather this type of individual differences data, and we hope to establish the underlying structure of responding for both young and older adult participants. We are also interested in whether tasks that measure Rationality share more variance with tests of Crystallized Intelligence or Fluid Intelligence.

Statistics Consultant and Instructor/Assistant Professor
My research interests include the impact of psychosocial stress and emotional regulation on various cognitive abilities (i.e., processing speed, rationality, and language production). My additional skills include statistical modeling techniques using latent variable and/or psychometric network analyses. I am also experienced in user experience strategy and research including A/B testing, rapid prototyping, and competitive analyses.
