Description of Research Interests

The ultimate goal of my research is to understand how we learn, remember, and use visual-spatial information. To this end, I focus on characteristics of the individual, characteristics of the environment/stimulus, and their interaction, to determine how they influence visual-spatial performance, broadly defined.
