Anne Schutte

Anne Schutte is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology within the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where she has served since joining the faculty in 2004. Her office is located at STE B81, Lincoln, NE 68588-0156, with contact details including phone 402-472-1840 and email aschutte2@unl.edu.

Her educational background includes:

• Ph.D. from the University of Iowa

Dr. Schutte's research centers on cognitive development with specialized expertise in spatial cognition, focusing on how spatial working memory and executive function evolve across development. She examines environmental influences on these processes through the lens of Dynamic Field Theory—a computational model using dynamic neural fields to explain spatial cognition. Her work integrates behavioral, neuroelectrical, and computational methodologies to investigate developmental transitions and environmental impacts.

Analysis of her publication record (2003-2022) reveals consistent investigation into spatial precision development, environmental modulation of executive functions, and the application of dynamic systems theory to cognitive development. Key trends include comparative studies of indoor versus outdoor settings, urban nature effects on childhood cognition, and individual differences in attentional control mechanisms.

Dr. Schutte teaches developmental psychology, cognitive development, child behavior, and dynamic systems theory courses. While specific student advisees and grant details aren't listed, her research program implies active mentorship within the Department of Psychology. She directs the Spatial Memory and Cognition Laboratory, which conducts empirical and theoretical work on spatial cognition development.
