I knew you were going to miss that: Predicting future visual search performance from initial search abilities (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Clark, K., & Mitroff, S. R. (2013, November). I knew you were going to miss that: Predicting future visual search performance from initial search abilities. Poster presented at Object Perception, Attention, and Memory, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

A unique data source—hundreds of thousands of individuals who voluntarily played a smartphone game (Airport Scanner; Kedlin Company)—was used to assess predictors of visual search accuracy. Baseline performance was assessed on easy levels at the star... Read More about I knew you were going to miss that: Predicting future visual search performance from initial search abilities.

Face symmetry assessment abilities: Clinical implications for diagnosing asymmetry (2013)
Journal Article
Jackson, T. H., Mitroff, S. R., Clark, K., Proffit, W. R., Lee, J. Y., & Nguyen, T. T. (2013). Face symmetry assessment abilities: Clinical implications for diagnosing asymmetry. American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 144(5), 663-671. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ajodo.2013.06.020

Introduction An accurate assessment of face symmetry is necessary for the development of a dentofacial diagnosis in orthodontics, and an understanding of individual differences in perception of face symmetry between patients and providers is needed t...

Context matters: The structure of task goals affects accuracy in multiple-target visual search (2013)
Journal Article
Clark, K., Cain, M., Adcock, R. A., & Mitroff, S. R. (2014). Context matters: The structure of task goals affects accuracy in multiple-target visual search. Applied Ergonomics, 45(3), 528-533. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apergo.2013.07.008

Career visual searchers such as radiologists and airport security screeners strive to conduct accurate visual searches, but despite extensive training, errors still occur. A key difference between searches in radiology and airport security is the str... Read More about Context matters: The structure of task goals affects accuracy in multiple-target visual search.

Enhanced facial symmetry assessment in orthodontists (2013)
Journal Article
Jackson, T. H., Clark, K., & Mitroff, S. R. (2013). Enhanced facial symmetry assessment in orthodontists. Visual Cognition, 21(7), 838-852. https://doi.org/10.1080/13506285.2013.832450

Assessing facial symmetry is an evolutionarily important process, which suggests that individual differences in this ability should exist. As existing data are inconclusive, the current study explored whether a group trained in facial symmetry assess... Read More about Enhanced facial symmetry assessment in orthodontists.

Assessing visual search performance differences between Transportation Security Administration Officers and nonprofessional visual searchers (2013)
Journal Article
Cain, M. S., Biggs, A. T., Cain, M., Clark, K., Darling, E. F., & Mitroff, S. R. (2013). Assessing visual search performance differences between Transportation Security Administration Officers and nonprofessional visual searchers. Visual Cognition, 21(3), 330-352. https://doi.org/10.1080/13506285.2013.790329

Some visual searches depend upon accuracy (e.g., radiology, airport security screening), and it is important for both theoretical and applied reasons to understand what factors best predict performance. The current study administered a visual search...

Visual expertise: Insights gained by comparing professional populations (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Clark, K., Biggs, A. T., Darling, E. F., Cain, M. S., Jackson, T. H., Samei, E., …Mitroff, S. R. (2013, May). Visual expertise: Insights gained by comparing professional populations. Paper presented at Vision Sciences Society, Naples, Florida, United States

Professionals whose careers depend on visual skills typically demonstrate superior performance on career-related tasks; farmers better determine the sex of day-old chicks (Biederman & Shiffrar, 1987), and bank tellers better detect counterfeit curren...

Characterizing clinical skill acquisition: Face symmetry assessment abilities in orthodontists (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Jackson, T. H., Nguyen, T. T., Clark, K., Lee, J. Y., Proffit, W. R., & Mitroff, S. R. (2013, March). Characterizing clinical skill acquisition: Face symmetry assessment abilities in orthodontists. Poster presented at International Association for Dental Research, Seattle, Washington, United States

Objectives: Assessing face symmetry is key to diagnosis in dentistry. By comparing performance on tests of visual cognition (symmetry assessment) across dental students, orthodontics residents, orthodontics faculty, and untrained controls, we explore...
