Research
Dr. Anooshian's past research addressed developmental changes in
memory processes and spatial cognition, with a special focus on
the diversity of processes underlying specific task performances.
Recently, she has attempted to bridge the gap between basic and
applied perspectives by addressing the pervasive negative outcomes
observed for homeless and poor children. Her current program of
research involves developing explanatory models for understanding
the consequences of family poverty for different aspects of child
development.
