Eleanor B. Schille-Hudson

I study how people think about and understand things they cannot see.

I am interested in how learning and expertise shape what people can and do see. In particular, I think about how both culture and perceptual learning affect what people pay attention to, and how that helps them make sense of the world around them, seen and unseen. I employ a combination of behavioral experiments, survey work, computational modeling, and theoretical analysis. 

I am currently a postdoc working with Tanya Luhrmann in the Department of Anthropology at Stanford University. I earned my Ph.D. in Cognitive Science & Cognitive Psychology at Indiana University, Bloomington. My faculty advisors were David Landy (now at Netflix) and Rob Goldstone.
