Key areas of inquiry include the links between psychological, social, and environmental stressors and cognitive functioning throughout the lifespan, along with the examination of stress sources affecting cognitive function in Latinx adults. Muñoz employs various research designs, including longitudinal and ecological momentary assessments, to investigate the early modifiable predictors of adult cognitive health and to address inequities in aging.
