Research: 

I use information processing models to explore various issues in cognition, including visual attention and visual working memory. Several of my recent projects have involved the analysis of reaction time distributions in order to model visual attention. Also, I have used eye movements to uncover mechanisms of attention, using a new paradigm called comparative visual search.

I am also investigating directed forgetting with Jonathan Golding. Our recent work has uncovered some of the mechanisms involved in the ability to suppress or forget previously-learned words.

My research subjects include college students and older adults between the ages of 65 and 80. In many of our projects, we compare the performances across age groups in order to understand some of the basic mechanisms underlying cognition.
