Heather Sheridan serves as Associate Professor and Area Head in the Department of Psychology at the University at Albany, State University of New York. Her office is located in Social Sciences 317 with contact number 518-898-8423.
Her research program investigates reading as a multifaceted cognitive domain to explore language processing, attentional mechanisms, visual perception, and memory systems. Dr. Sheridan examines visual expertise development across domains including chess, individual performance differences, and the critical eye-mind link connecting ocular behavior to cognitive processing. Her work addresses lexical ambiguity resolution, re-reading phenomena, and cross-language variations using integrated methodologies such as eye tracking, computational modeling, distributional analyses, and ERP/EEG to map the temporal dynamics of perceptual and neural processes during reading. She also investigates broader questions in learning, memory consolidation, and conscious versus unconscious cognitive operations.
