We’re excited to announce one of our invited speakers: Dr. Steve Most! Read more about him below.
Steve Most is Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, where he directs the Motivated Attention and Perception Lab. He and his team use behavioural and physiological measures to understand how attention, motivation, and emotion shape perception and memory, as well as their implications for wellbeing in the real world (e.g., road safety). He is best known for his work on inattentional blindness and on emotion-induced blindness. Steve received his B.A at Brandeis University and his Ph.D. in psychology from Harvard, followed by postdoctoral training at Vanderbilt and Yale. Before joining UNSW, he was tenured as Associate Professor at the University of Delaware in the US, where he continues to maintain an affiliated appointment. In 2021, Steve co-authored (with Marvin Chun) a new textbook on Cognition, available from Oxford University Press, which received the Most Promising New Textbook Award from the Textbook and Academic Authors Association.
