Lindsey researches the development of children’s reasoning skills, which are crucial for problem-solving in various disciplines and in the real world. Lindsey advises teaching children organising strategies and helping them with school-based skills, as well as connecting what children learn in the classroom to real-life situations.

Lindsey Richland (PhD) is a Professor and Associate Dean at the University of California, Irvine. Lindsey’s research examines children’s reasoning development in and out of schools, with her classroom research focusing on teaching and learning mathematics. She examines the mechanisms underpinning children’s capacity to think flexibly, with studies focusing on the roles of cognitive maturation and individual differences. She also examines factors shaping children’s tendencies to engage in higher-order thinking when opportunities are available. Her classroom work focuses on mathematics, investigating effective teaching practices for increasing higher-order thinking and reducing opportunity gaps.
