Anne Cook

Dr. Cook conducts studies in the psychology of reading, using eye-tracking technology to investigate the memory and attention processes involved in reading comprehension. Although much of her research has investigated these processes in typically developed adult readers, she has also conducted studies on cognitive impairments in individuals with autism. More recently, she has applied her background in eye tracking and psychology of reading to research on cognitive load during complex problem solving and to the detection of deception.

Anne holds a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from the University of New Hampshire, a Master of Science in college teaching from University of New Hampshire, a Master of Arts in cognitive psychology from University of New Hampshire, and a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Louisiana State University.
