Jesse studies how children’s environments and learning histories influence their decisions to engage (or not engage) executive function, with the goal of better understanding how to support children’s executive functioning as they grow up. Prior to (re-)joining the lab, Jesse taught at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR. He completed a PhD in Developmental Psychology at UC-Davis, as well as an MA in Cognitive Psychology at the University of Colorado Boulder and a BA in Literature at the University of Kansas. His work has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and the Dutch Research Council (NWO).
