Alexandra List
Associate Professor of Psychology
Alexandra List received a National Institutes of Health National Research Service Award for both her doctoral and post-doctoral research. List's research has focused on understanding how we perceive and attend to visual, auditory and haptic information in our environment. She uses a variety of human cognitive neuroscience techniques. Her work has been published in various journals, including Cognition, Brain, the Journal of Vision, Neuropsychologia and the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance. She earned her bachelor's degree in cognitive science and doctorate in psychology at the University of California, Berkeley.
