About
Dr. Mogle has a PhD in Experimental Psychology and her research expertise includes development of assessments of cognitive functioning in naturalistic environments. Sheuses a combination of self-report and performance-based methods to create a broader snapshot of cognitive functioning across the lifespan. This work will aid in the development of interventions aimed at promoting healthier cognitive functioning that can be deployed earlier in the aging trajectory. This work has led to a number of funded collaborations to understand real world cognitive functioning in underrepresented groups(e.g., Black older adults) as well as the psychological and physiological mechanisms that promote healthier cognition. Further, she has ongoing partnerships with Dr. Lesley Ross,SmartLife Endowed Chair in Aging and Cognition and director of the Institute for Engaged Aging, a partnership with Prisma Health. With Dr. Ross, Dr. Mogle will be examining the daily impacts of a cognitive intervention designed to support cognitive health and improve everyday functioning (e.g., driving mobility). In addition to her substantive work, Dr. Mogle has extensive experience in the application of multilevel modeling to understand within-person processes across brief windows (e.g., days) as well as longer periods of time (i.e., years). This experience has enabled her to support a wide variety of projects that improve the health and well-being of adults across the lifespan including examinations of parenting interventions; family-centered functional interventions with persons with dementia; impacts of daily stress and effect on cognition; and the impacts of COVID on younger and older adults.

How their research is transforming health care
Dr. Mogle’s work is integral in transforming healthcare through the use of daily assessments of cognitive functioning. Cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, and planning are critical to meeting the daily demands individuals face in their real-world environments. To facilitate understanding of these abilities, Dr. Mogle has developed innovative methods for measuring daily cognitive functioning that will accelerate prevention and intervention evaluation through detection of daily improvements in cognition. This will allow interventions to deploy daily assessments of cognitive functioning to identify meaningful changes that occur in an individual’s natural environment. Using cutting-edge ambulatory data collection techniques, Dr. Mogle has established a line of research exploring the daily predictors and impacts of cognitive functioning in adults across the lifespan. This includes work in clinical populations such as breast cancer survivors and older adults with mild cognitive impairment as well as healthy adults with concerns about their memory functioning.
