Susan Wagner Cook is an Associate Professor at the University of Iowa, affiliated with the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. Her research explores intersections of cognitive development, mathematical cognition, and embodied cognition through gesture analysis.
Education:
- Ph.D. from University of Chicago (2006)
Research Focus: Investigates how hand gestures enhance learning and memory, particularly in mathematical contexts, while examining embodied cognition mechanisms and language processing dynamics. Her work combines developmental science with experimental psychology.
Publications demonstrate expertise in gesture-based learning transfer (2013), memory consolidation (2010), and avatar-assisted education (2017). Recent work connects hippocampal function to gesture production (2016).
Scientific Affiliations:
