Change Detection Research Interests
I am interested in change detection as a tool for understanding the nature of the representation formed while humans view natural scenes. My work investigates two memory problems in scene perception. The first is the short-term retention and subsequent integration of scene information across saccadic eye movements. The second is the accumulation of scene information over longer periods of time during the visual exploration of a natural scene. This latter work focuses on the nature of the information retained from previously attended objects and on the role of long-term memory in scene perception. We find that despite evidence of change blindness, detailed visual information is reliably retained in memory from previously attended objects. Robust implicit effects of change indicate that explicit change detection does not provide an accurate measure of the detail of visual scene representation.
