- Cognition: working memory, memory-perception interactions
- Aesthetic emotions: cross-arts emotion comparisons
- Methods: meta-analysis, multi-lab replication studies
Her investigations exploit behavioral, meta-analytic and multi-lab approaches to understand how musical training modulates memory and emotion processing across auditory and visual domains.
