Raymond Hernandez

I am an occupational therapist (OT) by training and am interested generally in generating tools and knowledge that can ultimately support practitioners and researchers in their efforts to understand and optimize people’s everyday functioning. Examples of past and ongoing areas of research include investigations of the validity of lifestyle balance and workload focused measures, examinations of the validity and reliability of survey paradata based metrics of cognitive performance, examinations of momentary factors that can affect cognitive performance, and investigation of the possibility of using mobile cognitive tests and data from wearables to objectively capture health and functioning. Methodologically, I am interested in psychometrics and longitudinal data analysis.
