Profile
Biography
My research investigates the role of automaticity and its control in different cognitive domains, such as visual attention, action selection, and skill acquisition. My recent projects examine social and emotional influences on automaticity and cognitive control. I conduct behavioural and electrophysiological (EEG) experiments in lab and applied settings and use computational modeling techniques. I am currently an associate editor of the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology and a member of the editorial board for Journal of Cognition. I also served as an associate editor of the Frontiers in Psychology, Cognition section, as well as the editorial boards for Journal of Cognitive Psychology and the Frontiers in Psychology, Cognitive Science section. I served as a committee member and the Honourary Treasurer of the Cognitive Psychology section of the British Psychological Society. I am a recipient of the 2016 Earl Alluisi Award from the American Psychological Association (Division 21).
