Thesis Work
Title: Movie Genre Preferences & Visual Attention During Movie Watching
​
In this line of research, I am mentoring an undergraduate to investigate how individual genre preferences may influence attentional selection while viewing film. This project is utilizing online data collection platforms and measuring viewer engagement, preferences, and attentional selection with a mouse-contingent window of clarity (e.g., and new method development to simulate eye-tracking methodology online).

Thesis Title: How do Individual Differences Impact Attentional Selection Ability During Volitional Control Tasks in Film?
--several associated papers (see publications)
​
In this line of research, I aim to identify how attentional selection, while watching a film, is impacted by top-down attentional processes. This research focused on individual differences measures like cultural background, working-memory capacity, and executive-function; while focusing on how they all impacted attentional selection, comprehension, and performance measures on cognitive load tasks.
