Research Interest

Dr. Montroy’s research reflects a combined focus on early academic and school readiness skills, such as self-regulation, as well as the improvement of the assessment of these skills. One prominent theme in her research is the recognition that the process through which children attend to and remember information as well as inhibit inappropriate responses (as measured via assessments of children’s self-regulation) affects their ability to access and ultimately learn new academic skills. In addition to her interest in the development of children’s early school readiness skills, she is also interested in improving the measurement of these skills by evaluating and improving current measures through Rasch and IRT measurement techniques.
