Research Overview
My research examines prospective memory failures in older adults (aged 60+) and strategy-based interventions to overcome such failures. The aim of my PhD project is to inform and outline a new and improved intervention aimed at supporting and enhancing prospective memory in aging. My project takes a mixed-methods approach and is largely based on collaborations with older adults to help inform the intervention.
