Optimal models of human multiple-target visual search (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Unlike laboratory experiments, real-world visual search can contain multiple targets. Searching for an unknown number of targets creates a unique set of challenges for the observer, and often produces serious errors. We propose a Bayesian optimal for...

Interactions between reward, feedback, and timing structures on dual-target search performance (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Individuals who conduct visual searches that can contain more than one target face many challenges. Such multiple-target visual searches can be especially error prone, as identification of one target often makes identification of a second target less...

Motivational influences of monetary reward and performance feedback on dual-target search performance (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Optimizing employee performance is of general importance, but it is particularly pertinent for socially critical jobs that are especially error prone. For example, it is vital to understand how visual search performance can be maximized for radiologi...

Enhanced change detection performance reveals improved strategy use in avid action video game players (2010)
Journal Article

Recent research has shown that avid action video game players (VGPs) outperform non-video game players (NVGPs) on a variety of attentional and perceptual tasks. However, it remains unknown exactly why and how such differences arise; while some prior...

Revealing individual differences in visual search: ADHD leads to see too little and anorexia nervosa leads to seeing too much (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In understanding the nature of visual cognition, it is important to determine how individual differences affect performance.
We have found relationships between symptoms of both ADHD and anorexia nervosa and performance on a simple visual search tas... Read More about Revealing individual differences in visual search: ADHD leads to see too little and anorexia nervosa leads to seeing too much.

Human search strategies are informed by complex target distribution statistics (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Many real-world visual searches contain multiple targets in one display and such searches can be especially error prone. We investigated whether searchers adapt their strategies based on complex statistics of target distributions in multiple-target s...

Identifying and reducing satisfaction of search errors: How to alleviate dual-target search costs (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Some occupations (e.g., airport luggage screeners, military personnel, radiologists) require highly accurate visual searches. To maximize performance it is important to identify factors that decrease accuracy and then identify means to alleviate thei...

Reducing satisfaction of search errors in visual search (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Several occupations rely upon the ability to accurately and efficiently perform visual search. For example, radiologists must successfully identify abnormalities, and airport luggage screeners must recognize threatening items. By investigating variou...

See an object, hear an object file: Object correspondence transcends sensory modality (2010)
Journal Article

An important task of perceptual processing is to parse incoming information into distinct units and to keep track of those units over time as the same, persisting representations. Within the study of visual perception, maintaining such persisting obj... Read More about See an object, hear an object file: Object correspondence transcends sensory modality.

Effects of videogame expertise on change detection abilities (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Action video game players demonstrate enhanced performance
on perceptual tasks, but the underlying mechanisms of their benefits remain unclear. We examined gamers and non-gamers using a modified change-detection flicker paradigm in which image pairs... Read More about Effects of videogame expertise on change detection abilities.

See an object, hear an object file: Object correspondence transcends sensory modality (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

An important task of perceptual processing is to parse incoming information from the external world into distinct units and to subsequently keep track of those units over time as the same, persisting internal representations. Within the realm of visu... Read More about See an object, hear an object file: Object correspondence transcends sensory modality.

Video game players excel at change detection (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

As our everyday lives become increasingly more complex with technological advancements, an important question arises in whether certain experiences can lead to improved cognitive and perceptual abilities. Recent research has demonstrated that action... Read More about Video game players excel at change detection.

The effects of interference on visual memory of 2-D shape (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Change detection requires comparing the representation of a previously presented stimulus to the representation of a new stimulus. During the interval over which information about the previously presented stimulus is stored, processing of additional... Read More about The effects of interference on visual memory of 2-D shape.
