معرفی
Kristina Rand is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Utah, specializing in spatial cognition and visual perception. She directs the Visual Perception and Spatial Cognition Lab, focusing on how perceptual limitations affect navigation and spatial learning.
- Education: Ph.D. in Psychology (2014), University of Utah; M.S. in Psychology (2009), Montana State University; B.S. in Psychology (2006), University of Oregon.
Her research examines spatial memory, environmental complexity, and cognitive adaptations for individuals with visual impairments. Key themes include the interplay between attention, mobility monitoring, and perceptual cues in navigation tasks.
Her publications since 2009 highlight applications in accessibility design, human-computer interaction, and aging cognition. Articles analyze spatial learning impairments, distance perception biases, and assistive technologies like physical guidance and low-vision simulations.
