Memory in Children with Down Syndrome - Social Ecology Research Spotlight

Angela Lukowski, associate professor of psychology and social behavior in the UCI School of Social Ecology, studies memory development in infants and children with Down syndrome. She wants to understand how early memory abilities impact the extent to which children benefit from intervention efforts, with the ultimate goal of identifying the complex conditions under which children with Down syndrome best remember and apply learned information.
