Sharon Bertsch
Welcome to my
home page. It will tell you a little about who I am, what classes I teach and
what research I am currently conducting.
I'm a Professor of Psychology at the
University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, transplanted from the Akron, Ohio area.
I earned my Ph.D. in Applied Cognitive Aging from the University of Akron.
My main area of interest in psychology
is Cognitive Processing, which includes abilities like memory, creativity,
intelligence and learning, but also include some social interests in things
like religion and inter-relational behavior.
* The UPJ computer system has me listed under Walstad (my married
name) also so you might want to try that if you are having trouble finding me
in the University system.
