Studies often integrate aging research and mental health, examining how these factors influence cognitive performance across life stages.
The majority of Taylor’s publications focus on memory accuracy, decision-making, and attentional selection, with trends highlighting intersections between Cognitive Neuroscience, Aging Research, and Educational Psychology. Topics include the impact of sleep schedules, trauma, interpretation bias, and socialization trends on cognitive processes.
Taylor has guided undergraduate students in presenting their research at conferences like the Midwestern Psychological Association, covering topics from older adult memory strategies to the effects of film genre preferences on attentional selection.
