The Center for Cognitive Science and Educational Practice is the research laboratory directed by Dr. Danielle S. McNamara. Research conducted in the CSEP center addresses questions regarding theoretical explanations of cognitive processes such as memory, learning, and text comprehension, and the application of cognitive principles to educational practice. The primary goals of the CSEP center are to further our understanding of cognitive processes and to use this theoretical foundation to improve educational methods.
