Research Abstract
Lindsey Richland integrates psychological inquiry with a commitment to ecological validity, utilizing creative methodologies to examine children's development of thinking and reasoning in home and schools, with new research examining the contributions of stress, identity threat, and pressure. She has strands of research including developmental, cognitive, and mathematics educational in focus. In schools - she primarily explores children's development of mathematical thinking, and investigates teacher best practices for building on children's cognitive resources and supporting deep and conceptual mathematical thinking. In her developmental research, Dr. Richland examines the foundations of children's reasoning skills, comparing the relative contributions of maturation, cognitive resources, socialization, priming, and knowledge building. With adults, she investigates analogical reasoning, pretesting and the test effect, and cross-cultural variations in cognitive processing.
