Course 10966: Visual Cognition · Empirical seminar mentorship
Visual Cognition examines how people select, process, and remember visual information. Topics include selective attention and attentional capture, attention and awareness, visual memory, the capacity and processes of visual working memory, visual search, and visual learning.
I mentor students undertaking an empirical seminar paper in this course. Students review the relevant literature, develop a research question and testable hypotheses, design a study, collect and analyse data, and interpret their findings in relation to the theoretical question.
The final paper presents the theoretical background, hypotheses, participants, tasks and procedure, results, and discussion. Students explain the study's contribution and limitations and use APA 7 referencing. Mentorship supports both the research process and the written report.
