Research Interests:

My research interests are broadly related to the differences in attention and hemispheric laterality in the processing of cognitive information in psychopathy.  Specifically, this involves looking at the level at which information that conflicts with a dominant response set does or does not influence behavior in psychopaths.  To look at this, I will be investigating the effects of varying presentation by visual field, by varying the onset of distracting and conflicting information, and by otherwise manipulating the salience of the distractors.
