The overall theme of my research is to optimize gait and cognition in aging. I examine the potential for using collaboration as a tool to improve memory, computer-based actions games as a tool to improve executive control, and motor imagery as a tool to improve executive control and mobility. The ultimate goal of my laboratory-based studies is to develop and test interventions that can be used to optimize cognition in community-dwellling older adults, and older adults that reside in nursing homes or naturally-occurring retirement communities
