Current Topic
- Attentional control settings: based on your goal of looking for a certain stimuli (ex. look for a hedgehog), those stimuli will be able to capture your attention.
Current Research Questions
- Which memory systems are capable of maintaining attentional control settings?
- Is there a cost to maintaining a large attentional control setting, compared to a small attentional control setting?
- What is the interaction between emotion and attentional control settings?
- Does contextual reinstatement improve memory-guided attentional capture of long-term memory attentional control settings?
Additional
- Much of my work deals with complex visual objects as well as simple shapes. In the VCN lab, we frequently use the Brady and Konkle stimuli.
