Research interests:
My area of expertise is cognitive psychology. In my laboratory we examine how the mind/brain accomplishes complex tasks such as reading, mathematics, searching for things in our environment, change detection, task switching, and executive control. I examine these issues using three complementary approaches: 1) standard laboratory tasks; 2) qualitative examinations of complex behaviours during everyday tasks, and 3) computational modeling as a form of theory construction.
