| Areas of expertise | My research involves the use of quantitative models to guide investigation of the processes of learning, retrieval, and performance in human cognition. One stream focussing on learning and retrieval considers memory on the order of seconds, particularly how sequences of events or stimuli are encoded and retrieved in the short term. I've recently been using connectionist and random sampling models to compare theories in this area. I am also interested in using accumulator models of choice behaviour to model relations between saccades in saccadic decision-making. |
