Research Interests

Memory, Spatial Representation

Research Summary:

I joined the Intraub lab in the fall of 2005. I have a bachelor of science in Psychology from the University of Arizona with a minor in Biology. I am interested in how the visual system integrates incoming perceptual information with previously stored cognitive representations. My research interests include memory, scene perception, information integration and spatial cognition. My current projects focus on the role of attention in the perception of a scene's spatial layout.
