Last week our most recent article ““Categorical templates are more useful when features are consistent: Evidence from eye-movements during search for societally important vehicles.” was featured on the website for the Psychonomic Society!

We are happy to have another paper published in AP&P! Congrats gang!
Hout, M. C., Robbins, A., Godwin, H. J., Fitzsimmons, G, & Scarince, C. (in press). Categorical templates are more useful when features are consistent: Evidence from eye-movements during search for societally important vehicles. Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics.
I recently had the opportunity to present at Graduate Education Day in Santa Fe, NM at the capitol building! I was selected by the Dean of the Graduate school to present my research on expertise in visual search.
I was happy to represent NMSU at this event and educate our legislators about all the amazing research we are doing in the lab.
In two weeks I will head to Cambridge, MA to work as a graduate research intern at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory. I’m so excited about this opportunity and look forward to doing some new research!
The lab recently returned from the Vision Sciences Society meeting in St. Pete’s Beach, FL. We presented several posters and a mini talk. It was a great time catching up with friends and spending some time on the beach 🙂
Congrats to my fellow lab members and Dr. Hout for all of the VSS presentation acceptances!
I will present research I completed last semester examining pupillary reflexes during categorical search. Here is a list of our upcoming presentations:
Robbins, A., & Hout, M. C. (2016, to be presented). Typicality effects in categorical visual search investigated using the pupillary reflex. Poster to be presented at the Vision Sciences Society 2016 Meeting in St. Petersburg, Fl (May, 2016).
Lopez, A., Bennett, G., Robbins, A., Godwin, H. J., & Hout, M. C. (2016, to be presented). Find one fast, or find them all slow: Do collaborative visual searchers search more quickly or more thoroughly? Poster to be presented at the Vision Sciences Society 2016 Meeting in St. Petersburg, Fl (May, 2016).
Madrid, J., Cunningham, C. A., Robbins, A., Godwin, H. J., Wolfe, J. M., & Hout, M. C. (2016, to be presented). Exploring the nature of mental representations in hybrid visual and memory search. Poster to be presented at the Vision Sciences Society 2016 Meeting in St. Petersburg, Fl (May, 2016).
Hout, M. C., Maxfield, J., Robbins, A., & Zelinsky, G. (2016, to be presented). Object categorization performance modeled using multidimensional scaling and category-consistent features. Poster to be presented at the Vision Sciences Society 2016 Meeting in St. Petersburg, Fl (May, 2016).
Also, congrats to Jessica Madrid who recently published her first book chapter!!
Madrid, J., Robbins, A., Scarince, C., Godwin, H. J., & Hout, M. C. (2016). Visual spatial attention: What it is, how it works, and what it does for us. To appear in Spatial Attention: Function, Influences and Performance by Nova Science Publications, Hauppauge, NY.
Our lab and work has recently received some press…
A while back, Michael Hout and I completed an interview for the Las Cruces Sun News. The article focused on our recent research examining whether or not working in pairs can benefit types of visual search. Check out the article HERE.
Also, one of our recent MDS articles was featured on the Psychonomic Society’s website, in an article written by Melissa Vo.
Here’s to another productive year!
