Seminar on the Mind
Perception & Reality: Scribner Seminar
I am interested in a wide range of research topics within the areas
of perception, psychophysics, and cognition, including:
1) Contextual factors that influence a participant's responses in
perceptual experiments
2) Distinctions between automatic and effortful processes, especially
as related to event frequency judgments
3) Factors that influence incidental memory and effects of effort on
memory
4) Factors that influence the perception and recognition of faces
5) Distinctions between numerosity and frequency judgments
