Lauren HechtFaculty
Richard Martin, Timothy Robinson, and Barbara Simpson Endowed Professor and Professor in Psychological Science
I am a cognitive psychologist who is interested in perception and attention, how they interact, and their influence on other cognitive processes. Although my research has predominantly focused on vision, I am also investigating questions that involve audition, olfaction, and taste.
