Associate Professor in Psychology at the University of Southampton, UK. Research is mostly focused on search in all its forms: visual search, interactive search, eye-tracking. More recently I've begun working on some open science projects too.

Need to control visual similarity in your experiments? A new open database by Robbins and colleagues @michaelhout.bsky.social @haywardgodwin.bsky.social, published in #psynomBRM, maps similarity among 1,200 objects in 20 categories using MDS—validated & ready to use.
Resources for Research
This section provides brief summaries of selected resources for research that have been published in journals of the Psychonomic Society, typically Behavior Research Methods. These resources consis…

Ever fumbled through your bag for your keys? That’s an interactive search: moving objects to uncover obscured visual information.
In a new paper from our lab, we asked: What determines where people choose to look first in these tasks?
Spoiler: effort matters.

Easy does it: Selection during interactive search tasks is biased towards objects that can be examined easily - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics
It is well understood that attentional selection is required to deploy visual attention to relevant objects within displays during visual search tasks. Interactive search, an extension of visual searc...

Our paper on data cleaning and analysis pipelines in eye movement and reading experiments is online! We used a multiverse analysis to map out different ways of examining the frequency effect. With @denisdrieghe.bsky.social. Open access link here: link.springer.com/article/10.3... (1/3)
