People > Kristin Caufield Background and Interests I completed my undergraduate psychology work at the University of California, Davis. There I worked with Dr. Neal Kroll studying human learning and memory, and ran the psychophysics laboratory for Dr. Robert Post. My primary interest and work was in Dr Post's lab, where we did work for NASA AMES Research Center studying the effects of visually perceived eye level, the Muller-Lyer illusion, and induced motion. After graduating, I spent three years in the St Louis area. I worked for MITRE Corp, and finished a second bachelor degree in Graphic Design from Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville. In addition, I began studying the area of Human Computer Interaction under the guidance of Dr. Jerry Weinberg. While in St Louis, I was active in both the local Human Factors Chapter, where I was Webmaster, and the Association of Computing Machinery Computer Human Interaction group, where I served as treasurer/secretary for 2000-2001. This is my first semester at University of Idaho, and I am enjoying getting involved in psychophysics again. I am interested in the area of aerospace, and display design, and hope to eventually work for either NASA, or with the Air Force Research Laboratories. I am currently working in Dr. Brian Dyre's Visual Performance Laboratory, and my just getting involved in studying the effects of flow fields on virtual HUD displays. I hope to expand into other labs as well, and see what else I can get involved with. In my spare time, when I have it, I enjoy creating works of art, weight lifting, horseback riding, traveling, hiking, reading, and chatting on the Internet. Publications Post, R. B., Welch, R.
