Work in Progress:
An examination of how human observers are able
to find a target object in a cluttered scene. Central to this
ability are two of the most extensively studied processes in
vision: visual search and object recognition. Previously,
these processes have been studied separately. but when these
processes are combined, new unexplored issues emerge, such as
how we search for an abstractly specified target, and how we
recognize an object camouflaged against a cluttered background.
The ultimate goal of this research is to understand how humans
perform everyday visual tasks, such as searching for the mustard
in the refrigerator, as well as critical visual tasks, such
as searching for a weapon in a suitcase. |

maladaptive emotional responses (e.g., dysfunctional anxiety,

Metacognition and Study Skills in students: This
works seeks to determine what sorts of strategies and study
beliefs students have, which of these are effective and which
could be improved, and whether students can be taught strategies
for studying that are more useful, more effective or more efficient.
Environmental Psychology: This work seeks
to understand how to help individuals and communities deal with
the burdens of environmental pollution and take advantage of
the benefits of healthy environments. The academic interests
are grounded in the reality of trying to help residents of Waterfront
South improve their living conditions.
Causal Reasoning: This work seeks to elucidate
the interplay between consciously rational decision-making and
judgment and the (perhaps) unconscious experiential foundations
for choices and preferences. Theoretically, the work attempts
to bridge the association theories of conditioning with the
rule-based inference models of social cognition. |
