Research Topics
My research consists of three topic areas that are highly inter-related. In collaboration with Geoff Loftus, I have addressed the temporal aspects of information processing tasks such as character identification and binocular information acquisition. This work has produced 6 peer-reviewed articles in major journals. More recently I have expanded my research focus to look at how the information that is acquired by these early perceptual mechanisms is processed in memory tasks. Several research projects have addressed the nature of the representation of perceptual information, and the use of this information in recognition and metacognitive tasks. This research line has produced 4 articles and book chapters, with several other articles under review.
