I am interested in cognitive and neural changes that underpin training-related information processing improvements. My research also explores how these improvements benefit cognitive limitations, and individual differences that predict the acquisition of improved information processing. Additionally, I am interested in how individual differences affect how we attend to and process information from the visual world.
