Dr. Drollette’s primary research interest is to better understand the association of physical activity and neurocognitive health during maturation. Specifically, his research focuses on acute and chronic physical activity effects on higher-order cognitive processing, academic achievement, and memory in developing children and young adults. Recently, Dr. Drollette has begun to investigate the moderating interaction of individual differences on cognitive and neuroelectric (EEG) outcomes in relation to physical activity participation.
