Research Biography
I am a professor in the School of Special Education, School Psychology, and Early Childhood Studies. I joined the faculty at the University of Florida in 1990 after receiving my Ph.D. in school psychology from the University of California, Berkeley. I have taught classes in school psychology, learning and cognition, the theory of intelligence, psychoeducational assessment, statistics, and individual differences. My major areas of scholarly interest concern the nature, development, and assessment of human cognitive abilities and contemporary issues in psychoeducational assessment.
