معرفی
Mariel Roberts is a Term Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Barnard College, Columbia University. She holds a PhD in Experimental Psychology from New York University's Cognition & Perception Program. Her research focuses on attention and visual perception across neurotypical and special populations, including ADHD and amblyopia. She is committed to teaching and mentorship, having designed courses such as Introductory Laboratory in Experimental Psychology and Perception Laboratory.
Education:
- PhD in Experimental Psychology (Cognition & Perception Program), New York University
Research Interests: Dr. Roberts explores how attention mechanisms operate in diverse populations. Her work investigates visual perception deficits in amblyopia and ADHD, spatial attention dynamics, and perceptual learning. Her studies also address microsaccades, visual field asymmetries, and cortical blindness recovery.
Recent Research Trends: Her articles emphasize attention's role in perceptual adaptation, particularly in special populations. Notable themes include exogenous attention's impact on amblyopia recovery, visual field asymmetries across age groups, and ADHD's intact attentional functions. Methodologically, her work integrates behavioral experiments and neuroimaging techniques.
Awards: None explicitly listed.
Teaching & Mentorship:
- Primary instructor for Barnard's core psychology labs (e.g., Perception, Statistics)
- Adjunct and guest lecturer roles at NYU, emphasizing perception and attention
Labs/Teams: Active in Barnard's Psychology Department labs, collaborating on visual neuroscience projects. Her lab focuses on translational research linking cognitive mechanisms to clinical outcomes in vision disorders.
