Research Interests
Investigation of the perceptual and attention
processes that influence the formation of visual memories and exploration
of the structure and content of visual representations comprise the primary
foci of my research. My interest in visual perception and memory stems
from an interest in the effects of viewpoint changes on the representation
underlying adult object recognition. My recent work, within a developmental
framework, has focused on the effects of both perception and attention
on memory processes and content. I subscribe to the view that processes
from all three areas are highly interrelated, and I am currently investigating
questions regarding the influence of basic perceptual processes on the
representation of visual stimuli, and questions regarding the influence
of attention on memory in both infants and children. Thus, my research
uses both infants (2-6 months) and children (1-10 years) as subjects, and
employs a variety of methods to explore these issues.
