Visual Learning and Self-Directed Content
Fall 2018 - Fall 2019
-
Undergraduate Honors Thesis
-
Probed sentences vs images; self-generated vs given
-
Had participants use ancillary materials to memorize word pairs
-
Participant memory was the lowest when asked to produce drawings, possibly due to inducing anxiety

RESEARCH INTERESTS
Eye Movements and Memory with Divided Attention
Fall 2021-Summer 2022
-
First year graduate project
-
Learned to use the eye tracker
-
Found that restriction of eye movements under cognitive load preserves memory performance
-
Sparing eye movements allow more cognitive resources to be put towards encoding

Hidden Markov Modeling Reveals Discrete "Encoding States" During Visual Memory Formation
Summer 2022-Fall 2023
-
Master's Thesis
-
Implemented hidden Markov models to understand latent states of visual memory formation
-
Found a tradeoff between eye movements emphasizing item information vs emphasizing relational information
-
Item-level information is critical for encoding both items and their spatial location
