Professor Munakata's research investigates the mechanisms that support cognitive processes and their development, with a focus on executive functions, the goal-directed processes that support flexible adaptation of behavior in response to changing circumstances. For much of her career, she has developed integrative theories that unify diverse behaviors and domains, implemented these theories within a neural network modeling framework and tested them against existing data, and empirically tested novel predictions from these models.
