I study how humans perceive, remember, and retrieve information using a combination of behavioral testing and mathematical modeling. My research falls generally into three categories: (1) Memory in humans, with emphasis on forgetting and retrieval in explicit and implicit memory and in working memory, (2) Attentional processes in adult humans, and their consequences for perceptual efficiency and information processing, with emphasis on visual perception and memory, and (3) The mechanisms of learning and improvement in perceptual tasks. I run the Memory Attention Perception (MAP) Lab in the Department of Cognitive Science.
