Congratulations to Dr. Bettencourt!

We want to send a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Dr. Kathleen Bettencourt (to be made official at summer graduation). Kathleen’s dissertation explored the relation between temporal memory and executive function in early and middle childhood.

We are so proud of what she has accomplished and in a pandemic, no less. Kathleen’s first study took place in person on campus. However, her second study started as the pandemic began and she had to change things around to allow families to participate online. As always, we are incredibly thankful to our DUCK Lab families and community partners for helping support Kathleen’s work.

Up next for Kathleen: she will be starting a position as a Visiting Assistant Professor at Wake Forest University this Fall. We’ll miss you, Kathleen!
