Faculty bio
Human vision is limited, requiring us to move our eyes several times each second to encode the world around us. What are the consequences of these eye movements for memory? To answer this question, my research uses eyetracking technology to investigate the relationship between visual attention and memory.
Specifically, my research explores the role of eye movements in memory formation, retention, and retrieval. I am also interested in how the interaction of these cognitive systems changes with advanced age. To this end, my work uses a variety of memory and visual attention tasks and tests both younger and older adults.
