Welcome

In the Motivated Attention & Perception Lab, directed by
Dr. Steve Most, our research probes relationships between motivation, emotion, and attentional control, as well as how each of these factors influences basic cognitive processes such as perception and memory. We investigate how goal-related priorities and emotional responses to the environment help to determine what we see and remember, as well as the consequences of such interactions for psychological and physical health. To learn more about what we do and about the people in our lab, please take some time to explore this website.
