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.
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.
I'm an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh
at Johnstown, transplanted from the Akron, Ohio area. I received my Ph.D. in
Applied Cognitive Aging from the University of Akron.
My main area of interest in psychology is in
Cognitive Processes, which includes abilities like memory, creativity,
intelligence and learning.
These are the classes I am
teaching this semester:
