R. P. Heitz

R. P. Heitz is a cognitive scientist known for his research on memory, attention, and cognitive control. Her work investigates how the brain processes and manages information, particularly how we keep relevant memories active and filter out distractions. She has contributed to understanding the mechanisms behind working memory—the system that temporarily holds and manipulates information—and how it influences our ability to focus and perform tasks. Her research enhances our knowledge of mental processes underlying everyday activities like problem-solving, learning, and attention switching, informing both psychological theory and practical applications in education and cognitive training.
