Doug Addleman

I'm a new assistant professor of psychology at Gonzaga University (as of Fall 2023!), where I'll be teaching classes in introductory psychology and cognitive neuroscience. I completed my PhD in May 2020 at the University of Minnesota in the Department of Psychology, advised by Vanessa Lee and Dan Kersten. Before joining Gonzaga, I did postdoctoral research at Dartmouth college with Viola Störmer.

I'm a cognitive scientist who studies human perceptual cognition: how people reason about and gain knowledge of the perceptual world. In doing so, I use a range of tools from psychology and neuroscience, including human behavioral methods, eye-tracking, and EEG. Most of my research aims to understand how people focus on certain information to achieve their goals, a process called selective attention. I'm particularly interested in understanding how cognitive processes differ in vision and audition. Check out my research page for more.

When I'm not working, I enjoy cooking, cycling, and the times my cat isn't trying to bite my feet.
