Research Interests

Professor Hale conducts research that focuses on developmental changes in speed of information processing across the life span and on the role of age-related differences on other aspects of cognition. In particular, she has developed one line of research that examines the role of developmental changes in processing speed on the development of working memory and higher level reasoning abilities. Other research projects include establishing behavioral evidence for brain-based ability differences in the processing of spatial and object information.
