Change Detection Research Interests
Heather Pringle, Art Kramer, and I are currently investigating how individual differences in the breadth of attention (as well as individual differences in other cognitive skills) influence change detection. We are also examining how the salience, meaningfulness, and eccentricity of scene changes affect performance and we are monitoring eye movements to assess both explicit and implicit memory for scenes. More generally I am interested in the nature of the mental representation that is built up across successive views of a scene and the role that eye movements play in this process.

Other Research Interests
The relationship between eye movements and attention, information processing during saccadic eye movements, coordination between perception and language in language comprehension and language production
