My long-standing research interests fall in the general area of the experimental study of human cognition. The topics that I have studied include: mechanisms of attention; encoding and retrieval in memory; word recognition processes in skilled reading; risky decision-making among gamblers; and, social cognition. Current projects investigated with undergraduate honours and graduate students focus on repetition effects on memory, the benefits of retrieval on learning, and the interplay of visual and verbal processes in face recognition. I am currently funded for a study of cognitive and personality characteristics of sports gamblers.
