University of Nottingham

Zita Patai
Dr Patai's work has focused on the interaction between long-term memory and other cognitive domains, particularly navigation and attention. Her current work investigates how the recency of memories for locations may influence navigation strategies and the interaction with the environment. Additionally, she is interested how the structure of the environment changes perceptions of distance and time. She uses a variety of tools including fMRI, M/EEG and neuropsychological tests.
