Qualifications
Ph.D., Experimental Psychology, University of Louisville, December 1997
M.A., Experimental Psychology, University of Louisville, May 1995
B.A., Psychology, Purdue University, May 1992
Research and consultancy
Research interests
Applied and basic aspects of perception, attention, and cognition.
Postgraduate research supervision
Jibo He (University of Illinois)
Project title: Drivers' lane-keeping under cognitive distraction
Yusuke Yamani (University of Illinois)
Project title: Processing capacity and processing architecture across the attentional visual field
Potential PhD Projects:
1. Age and visual attention: The visual world gets harder to keep up with as we age, but why? Past research has produced conflicting findings as to how visual attention changes with aging. This project will employ a variety of converging analytic methods to identify specific changes that occur in visual attention between young and older adulthood.
2. Modeling visual attention: In aviation and other high stress domains, a human operator may be deluged with visual information. Displays that make critical information easily noticeable and accessible are therefore vital. This project will develop and test a mathematical model of attention designed to predict visual performance and assess the quality of displays in real-world tasks.
