Joshua Conniff is a Ph.D. student at Florida Atlantic University working in the Neuropsychology Lab of Dr. Rosselli and in the Visual Perception and Memory Lab of Dr. Sheremata. He is currently working on his master’s thesis project examining distractor strength on attentional processing. His thesis aims to determine how two aspects of distractors stimuli influence behavior: distractor strength and attentional state. He is also working on two other projects: Fit2Drive and the Keryx study. Fit2Drive is looking to develop and test a driver risk predictor for individuals with AD, and the Keryx study aims to look at cognitive support strategies to improve medication in older adults undergoing hemodialysis.
