David Tobey, Ph.D.

Research shows that healthy aging requires continual development of expertise and competence throughout the lifespan. Dr. David H. Tobey leads an international research team investigating and implementing new techniques for competent aging. These techniques seek to: 1) shorten learning curves during the formative years to address the growing international workforce skills crisis precipitated by the retirement of the baby boom generation; 2) facilitate lifestyle changes necessary to improve health and vitality during early and middle adulthood; and 3) reinvigorate brain growth during late adulthood to increase brain health and mitigate or reverse mental decline associated with neurological disease. Dr. Tobey's research into the formation of expertise led to the development of a theory of competence development and performance, the V-to-B Loop, which identifies the cognitive and neurological mechanisms that predict the transition of knowledge into skill and the creation of abilities.
