Andrew McReynolds

Welcome to my website! I am a PhD Candidate at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, pursuing my doctorate in Learning Sciences & Technologies. I am currently a Teaching Assistant and Research Assistant working under the guidance of Dr. Stacy Shaw. 

My research focuses on using IPEDS datasets to examine the prevalence of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in higher education, how curiosity affects students' propensity to experience Hyperfocus episodes, and whether Utility Value Interventions actually work for students with Hypercuriosity. When I am not working on my dissertation, I am involved in projects focused on rest and how it can benefit college students on both well-being and academic levels.

For more information on the work I have done, please browse my website and my lab affiliation, the CEDAR Lab.
