Christopher Was

Christopher Was is a Professor at the Department of Psychological Sciences, Kent State University. His research focuses on working memory models, particularly the interplay between attention-driven storage capacity and procedural memory facilitation in complex cognitive processes like comprehension. He also explores metacognition and student self-regulated learning through in-class experiments.

Research Trends: His recent publications analyze procedural memory's role in intelligence, priming effects in memory retention, and interventions to improve knowledge monitoring. Methodologically, he employs quantitative approaches such as multivariate statistics, factor analysis, and latent growth curve modeling.
