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 are interested in how we learn in complex, dynamic 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 not be reviewing applications for PhD students for Fall 2026.
