Change Detection Research Interests
My research relevant to change detection includes work on visual memory, visual search and attention. Its focus is on quantifying the effects of attention and testing simple theories. Comparisons between the memory and search experiments suggest that memory is a critical constraint on performance and probably mediates many of the phenomena of change detection.
