Congratulations to Logan Fiorella, an assistant professor in the Department of Educational Psychology, for receiving a National Science Foundation grant! His ECR-EHR Core Research project will investigate how learning by drawing contributes to comprehension, monitoring accuracy, and self-regulation. In a series of laboratory experiments, the project will systematically isolate the cognitive and metacognitive benefits of three core mechanisms of drawing: generation, comparison, and revision.
