Amanda Miller is a Professor in the Department of Psychology & Neuroscience. She currently teaches Cognitive Psychology, Research Methods & Behavioral Statistics, Internships in Psychology & Neuroscience, General Psychology, and a course on environmental sustainability. Her primary research interests include language and reading comprehension. Her current work focuses on identifying the component processes and cognitive mechanisms (e.g., working memory, attention, inhibition) involved in successful text comprehension among undergraduates. She also examines which comprehension processes may be malleable and how intervention programs can best target the most malleable processes. She enjoys engaging undergraduates in every phase of the research process and helping them develop the critical thinking, presentation, and writing skills to prepare them for graduate school and careers in psychology research.
