Bio/Research
My research interests are focused on exploring both basic and applied questions within visual attention and the science of teaching and learning. My primary area of research revolves around the question of why it is often difficult to search for multiple objects at once. This question, as well how we mentally represent objects during visual search, is best revealed through monitoring eye movements during various visual search tasks. By understanding the basic question of how we represent objects to guide search, we may better understand more critical applied research questions like how to improve visual search for airport security screeners, radiological detection of tumors, etc.
My secondary area of research is devoted to investigating projects in applied cognitive and educational research. Specifically, what are the most effective ways to present materials to students to foster the greatest level of learning and comprehension. I am co-director, along with Raymond Shaw of the Context, Attention, Memory, and Perception (CAMP).
