Research

Current and past research in the Attention lab covers a diverse range of topics. Here are a few areas that are of particular interest:

  • Influence of working memory on attentional allocation
  • Influence of perceptual load on attentional allocation
  • Automatic and controlled influences on memory retrieval
  • Comparison of working memory and attentional processes
  • Videogame training of cognitive function
  • Attentional allocation in a virtual reality environment
  • Influence of memory on attentional inhibition
  • Functional imaging of spatial attention and response control
  • Functional imaging of spatial attention and feature attention
