Change Detection Research Interests
My change detection research includes collaborative research with David Shore in which we extended previous work showing a center of interest advantage when change blindness is induced via flicker (global transients). First we obtain the same advantage when the alternate scenes are presented simultaneously in a side-by-side paradigm. Second to explore the role of meaning-driven orienting, we inverted the pictures. In the side-by-side paradigm this eliminated the center of interest advantage, however, with alternating images in the same location inversion had no impact of the center of interest effect. We suggest that when change blindness is induced via flicker, scene modifications are typically found by stimulus-driven rather than meaning-driven processes.
Other Research Interests
