Later studies investigated how memory for grades earned in high school and college courses can become systematically distorted over time, the role of strategy selection in memory benefits gained through spaced learning, and age-related changes in fluctuations in recall access to knowledge. One study tested 1,726 individuals on their memory for content from high school algebra and geometry courses a second study investigated maintenance of Spanish in more than 800 individuals who immigrated from Mexico or Cuba. Their first collaborations were large-scale investigations of factors that predict individuals’ memory for real-world learning. Harry and Lynda’s research focused on how we maintain knowledge acquired throughout life. In her final years at OWU, Lynda assumed administrative responsibilities, first as chair of the Psychology Department and then as the associate dean for academic performance.
She and Harry continued their research collaboration, working on projects funded by NSF and the National Institutes of Health that culminated in their 2013 book, Lifetime Maintenance of Knowledge, which they co-authored with Melinda Baker. She transitioned to a full-time faculty position in the Psychology Department four years later, teaching courses on cognitive psychology, behavioral statistics, and research methods, as well as honors tutorials on memory.
