The SoLET Lab is a research laboratory directed by Dr. Danielle S. McNamara and housed in The Institute for the Science of Teaching and Learning at Arizona State University. Research in the SoLET lab focuses on understanding the cognitive processes behind such educationally relevant skills as text comprehension, writing, and knowledge acquisition. The primary goal of the lab is to apply cutting-edge research from Cognitive Psychology, Education, and Computer Science to educational settings, and to use this strong theoretical foundation to enhance educational environments and methods.
