Andrew Clement serves as Assistant Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Millsaps College since fall 2023, teaching cognitive psychology and neuroscience courses with emphasis on critical thinking and real-world applications of psychological research.
His educational credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Psychology from University of Notre Dame
- M.A. in Psychology from University of Notre Dame
- B.A. in Psychology from Denison University
Clement's research investigates visual cognition through empirical analysis of attention, working memory, and perception. He examines how statistical learning shapes attentional strategies and why detecting salient targets increases cognitive effort during visual search, bridging behavioral, mental, and neurological perspectives on human thought processes.
His recent publications reveal a focus on attentional control mechanisms and visual search dynamics within cognitive neuroscience, demonstrating how learned statistical regularities optimize perceptual processing while effort metrics quantify search difficulty.
His scientific recognition includes:
- Chair’s Postdoctoral Fellowship (University of Toronto)
- Presidential Fellowship (University of Notre Dame)
- Irvin S. Wolf Award in Psychology (Denison University)
Clement actively mentors undergraduate researchers throughout all research phases—from question formulation to data analysis—though specific grant funding beyond his fellowship awards remains unspecified. His student-centered lab environment focuses on visual cognition experiments without dedicated facility descriptions.
