Benjamin McDunn received his M.S. and Ph.D. in psychology from the Behavioral and Brain Sciences program at the University of Georgia. Prior to graduate school, he received his B.S. in Psychology from Clemson University. His previous research has explored how the boundary extension effect (a visual scene memory error) is affected by top-down semantic knowledge, low-level perceptual cues, encoding conditions, and attention. More recently, he has conducted studies examining how the perceptual organization of visual features influences working memory performance.
