BIOGRAPHY

KatieAnn Skogsberg joined Centre’s faculty in 2008. She began her career at Centre as an associate professor of psychobiology and was named a Centre Scholar in 2013. 

Before coming to Centre, Skogsberg taught courses in psychology at Northwestern University, where she earned both her M.S. and Ph.D. in psychology: brain, behavior, and cognition.

RESEARCH

Her research interests include individual and group differences in visual attention abilities. Previous student collaborations have used electroencephalography (EEG) to study the effects of energy drinks and concussions on performance on visual attention tasks. Skogsberg is also interested in studying effective teaching and learning methods through the scholarship of teaching. Specific interests include the use of specifications grading and authentic assessments to improve student learning and engagement. Her current research combines both EEG and teaching methods to examine what study techniques may be the most effective for creating durable learning.

Her work also includes survey research on concussion knowledge and what motivates athletes to return to play after sustaining a concussion.
