Alexa Bushinski

I am a Ph.D. student in Cognitive Psychology at Purdue University. I received my B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice from Metro State University in Minnesota, and I worked as a lab manager at University of Wisconsin-Madison before I started at Purdue in 2020. My research interests intersect spatial navigation, virtual and augmented reality (XR), and memory. My past work has been on the more basic side of understanding individual differences in spatial navigation and memory. However, I plan to start incorporating XR to leverage it as a tool for better understanding spatial navigation and many other complex skills.
