Neural correlates of learning during a visual search task (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Clark, K., Appelbaum, L. G., Mitroff, S. R., & Woldorff, M. G. (2012, May). Neural correlates of learning during a visual search task. Paper presented at Vision Sciences Society, Naples, Florida, United States

Performance on visual search tasks can be improved with training; however, the neural mechanisms underlying such improvement are not clear. For example, although response times (RTs) typically shorten with training, it is unclear which components of... Read More about Neural correlates of learning during a visual search task.

Presentation / Conference
Hooper, A. P. (2012, April). The use of new technology in module delivery to large cohorts. Paper presented at HEA STEM Annual Conference, Imperial College, London

Teaching mathematics to level 1 engineers is a difficult task due to the size of the cohort, the diversity of ability and the limit on both space and staff resources. Modern equipment provision in lecture theatres means that staff have been forced ad... Read More about The use of new technology in module delivery to large cohorts.
