Past Graduate Students

Dr. Connie Barroso

Dr. Barroso graduated in 2020 and is now an Assistant Professor of Educational Psychology at Texas A&M University!
​
Dr. Barroso's research interests include studying students’ math- and science-related interest and achievement from elementary school to college. She is interested in investigating the roles that different cognitive and socio-cognitive, and affective factors play in student achievement and interest in math and science. 

Dr. Elyssa Geer

Dr. Geer graduated in 2021 and is now a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oregon!

Dr. Geer studies children's spatial skills in relation to their math  and science achievement. She is interested in looking at the way in which different external factors (such as gender, socio-economic status, etc.) impact this relationship. She aims to further knowledge in this area in the hopes of discerning new interventions that may be applicable in an educational setting.

 Dr. Amanda McGraw

Dr. McGraw graduated in 2019 and is now Assistant Professor of Psychology at Jacksonville University!

The goal of Dr. McGraw's research is to better understand malleable factors related to mathematical learning in children and adults. Her research has examined affective and cognitive factors identified as sources of variability in math performance (e.g. math anxiety, working memory), as well as embodied aspects (e.g. finger counting, gesture) of mathematical performance.
