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
