Janet's current research centers on how people know what they know, that is, their metacognitive abilities, and whether they use this evolutionarily unique ability efficaciously--for effective self-control, including what it is that people choose to study, whether what they choose to study is advantageous or not, and the limitations in human metacognitive judgments. She also applies these studies to educational ends, including investigating how study skills for at-risk middle school children can be enhanced. She also continues to be involved in research investigating the consequences of stress on self-regulation and on memory.

Simona's research covers metacognition and memory in multiple areas. First, she aims to elucidate how memory emerges and develops, including factors underlying the quality and durability of children's memories, and how neural development supports developmental changes in memory. She is also interested in the ways that we can mentally manipulate these representations for real life applications, such as academic success. This includes characterizing the development of metacognition, such as how children learn to assess the quality of their memories and the emergence of introspection on both memory and perceptual judgments. Simona also tackles the neural changes that underlie metamemory monitoring development, as well as changes in these abilities across various chronic diseases and several forms of neurodiversity.
