Dr. Jonathan Tullis
Associate Professor, Educational Psychology
Chair, Cognitive Science Graduate Program
Dr. Tullis focuses on optimizing learning environments by leveraging cognitive strengths and addressing weaknesses to enhance educational outcomes. Dr. Tullis explores topics such as the effectiveness of learning strategies, the impact of divided attention on self-regulated learning, and the integration of artificial intelligence as a tool for education. This work bridges theoretical insights and practical applications to improve teaching and learning practices.
Current Lab Members
Hosain Heshmati
Ph.D. Student
Hosain studies metacognitive monitoring, a key component of self-regulated learning, to understand how students generate judgments of learning. Additionally, Hosain explore the effectiveness of AI-generated learning strategies across diverse educational settings.
Jiyu Li
Ph.D. Student
Jiyu investigates how memory allows for transferring knowledge and skills to different contexts. Further, he examines how learners strategically regulate their own learning under constraints (e.g., far transfer, complex tasks, multitasking).
Sergio Castro
Ph.D. Student
Muhammad AlKhudair
Ph.D. Student
Muhammad studies the effects of prior knowledge on learning and whether contexts of learning impact the use of that prior knowledge.
