Kristi's research explores cognitive aging, particularly why memory changes occur (or not) in older adults. She also investigates interdisciplinary topics such as collective memory in cross-cultural contexts, working memory in Deaf-signing populations, and learning mechanisms in non-human animals like horses. Her work bridges psychology, cognitive science, and aging studies.
The three recent articles highlight her diverse research: (1) cross-cultural collective memory studies in China and the U.S., (2) working memory comparisons in Deaf-signing and hearing adults, and (3) spaced vs. massed practice learning in horses and humans. These span cognitive science, neuroscience, and animal behavior disciplines.
