Change Detection Research Interests
The ability to detect a change across discontinuities caused by saccadic eye movements presupposes that some information is retained from one fixation for comparison during a subsequent fixation. My research utilizes change detection as a means of examining how much and what kind of information is maintained across saccades, with a specific emphasis on the retention of information from the target of the saccade.
Other Research Interests
Spatial reference frames, spatial language, attention and object perception, categorization
