Research Interests

(1) To isolate the critical stimulus factors involved in the maintenance of and the workload and stress associated with sustained attention and to generate and test theoretical models of the ability of observers to sustain attention over prolonged periods of time. (2) To compare the perceptual characteristics of real and subjective contours and to generate and test theoretical models of human pattern recognition. To study the effects of olfactory stimulation on attention and vigilance and to study the factors involved in auditory adaption.

Sustained attention (vigilance) in terms of tests of theoretical models; studies of the psychophyscial, psychophysiological, and training determinants of performance efficiency and the perceived mental workload of vigilance tasks; pattern discrimination, particularly the perception of subjective contours; psychoacoustics with emphasis on auditory adaptation and intersensory processes.
