Current Research

Lauren's dissertation research will look at how changes in task demand and task structure might relate to differences in performance on objective and subjective workload assessments. This work aims to understand the complex relationship between cognitive control and cognitive workload, with implications for real-world performance and safety in high-stakes environments. 

 

Bailee's current research examines how individual differences in memory ability relate to the ways people learn and recall structured information. With manipulation of the relationship between item identity and serial position, we hope to examine how people use positional and associative information during retrieval, with specific interest in how short-term memory capacity relates to serial recall. This work aims to better understand how memory ability supports learning and serial recall and what strategies individuals might employ to perform better.

 

Vincent's postdoctoral research examines AI overreliance for life-or-death decisions during drone warfare simulations. He also collaborates with Dr. Emily Elliott on research examining attention control measurement and applications.
