Directed by Dr. Julie Blaskewicz Boron, the CAPACITY Lab focuses on exploring person-level characteristics associated with variability in cognitive, physical, and behavioral resilience and change, in individuals and couples throughout adulthood.
This is with the understanding that each person is different in terms of their capabilities and goals. Our work leverages both primary and secondary data, and includes descriptive, experimental, and intervention methodologies.
This research aims to help adults of all ages achieve and maintain their cognitive and physical capacity so they can experience independence and high quality of life.
Our ongoing research topics include:
- Historically Underserved & Minority Communities
- Physical Activity & Eating Behaviors
- Sleep & the Built Environment
- Cognitive Performance & Decline
- Gait & Balance
- Technology
- Caregiving
- Retirement
