Hello
my name is Nelson Roque.
I have a special interest in visual attention, focusing on:
​
-
how to reliably measure it,
-
how it relates to individual difference factors (e.g., age, sleep)
-
and translating insights from theoretical work in visual attention to applied contexts (e.g. medication errors).
ABOUT ME
In May of 2018, I graduated from Florida State University with a Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology, working under the advisement of Dr. Walter R. Boot.
​
Through the Pathways T32 Program at Penn State's Center for Healthy Aging, working with Dr. Martin Sliwinski, I explored the temporal stability of visual attention and its relation to situational and environmental factors, through the use of an ecological momentary assessment design and burst measurement techniques.
​
As of Fall 2020, I am an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Central Florida.
