معرفی
Sandra Hale is a Professor in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, where she conducts research on cognitive development and aging. Her work focuses on how information processing speed influences higher cognitive functions such as working memory and reasoning across the lifespan.
Research Interests: Her primary research areas include cognitive development, lifespan cognitive aging, information processing speed, working memory, higher-level reasoning, and sensory-cognitive integration. She also investigates how sensory and cognitive abilities contribute to lip reading and listening comprehension in both children and adults. Her research bridges developmental, cognitive, and clinical psychology.
The recent publications show a consistent focus on cognitive aging, individual differences in processing speed, and the interplay between sensory input and cognitive processing. Her work often employs rigorous psychometric and experimental methods to understand developmental and age-related changes in cognition.
