Research
I have researched metamemory,
e.g., 'why is it that when we can't remember something, we often feel that we
could remember it in the future?' (ECSC '00,' CNS '99, 01) I also research how graphic characteristics
of fonts, such as size, spacing, and complexity affect reading. ( ECVP '98, '00, '01, ARVO '99, '00). I've worked as an ad hoc
reviewer Psi Chi Journal, ECVP, Volunteer editor IOVS. Students who have participated in
past research projects with me have presented their work at professional
meetings. One received a MUSE
award. I am now looking at how memory and visual characteristics of reading
interact.
If you'd like to participate in
my research as a student, collaborator, or subject, please contact me: Faith Florer
