Maria Kozhevnikov

Maria Kozhevnikov is an Associate Professor at the National University of Singapore, specializing in the neural mechanisms of visual/spatial imagery and individual differences in information processing capacities. Her research explores how these differences impact spatial navigation, learning, and problem-solving in mathematics and sciences, alongside developing learning technologies to accommodate diverse learning styles.

• Ph.D. (Technion-Israel and UC Santa Barbara)
• M.Sc. (Technion-Israel)
• B.Sc. (Moscow)

Her research focuses on visual-spatial cognition, neural mechanisms, and learning technologies, integrating cognitive psychology with immersive virtual reality environments to study human-computer interactions.

Recent publications highlight trends in visual-spatial cognition, examining trade-offs in cognitive resources and the impact of meditation on visuospatial processing. Her work bridges neuroscience and educational psychology, emphasizing individual differences and skill training.
