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
