How do we learn about the complex multisensory world?
|
The Computation, Learning, and Representation (CLEAR) Lab, located in the Department of Psychology at the University of New Hampshire, investigates how we learn about the complex sensory world using tools from computational cognitive neuroscience. We study how we learn by interacting in complex environments like video games and virtual reality. We are especially interested in how adults learn second languages and how language itself influences how we learn.
I will be reviewing applications for PhD students to start Fall 2025.
