Antonio Terracciano, associate professor in the College of Medicine, received a Fulbright U.S. Scholar grant to conduct research at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland starting January 2021.
Terracciano will study how personality is related to physical and cognitive function. His team will examine data from a Finnish clinical trial that tested the efficacy of physical and cognitive training programs to improve mobility and executive function among older adults. Terracciano also will teach a graduate class on personality and health across the lifespan and cultures.
