News:

Roger Remington selected as Ames Associate Fellow

Biography: Roger Remington received his Ph.D. in Human Experimental Psychology from the University of Oregon in 1978 where he worked with Drs. Steven Keele and Michael Posner on the dynamics of spatial attention. He has been at NASA Ames Research Center since 1980, and has been the Group Lead for Cognition since 1990. Dr. Remington has published extensively on human attention and information processing. He is currently investigating techniques to model human performance in complex domains, such as shuttle cockpit operations and air traffic control.

Research Interests:

Attention and human information processing
Computational human performance modeling

Current Projects:

Computational modeling of air traffic controllers
Computational modeling of user navigation in hierarchical linked databases
Locus of task switching costs
Relation of spatial attention and saccadic eye movements in visual search
Understanding the coordination of mental operations in behavioral sequences
