Overview
We are better prepared for a situation if our expectation or understanding of the situation is accurate. Information from reliable external sources meant to improve the accuracy of these expectations or understanding might not be relied on in favour of existing expectations. As a result, the rules and strategies adopted might not be optimised for the situation at hand. My research interests lie in understanding whether and how people, such as first responders, use newly received information to guide their behaviour and performance when perceptual resolution is low, especially when they are under stress. To explore this topic, I use virtual reality technology along with eye tracking and other physiological measures.
