"Albert Yonas"
Bio:

After graduating from the University of Michigan in Psychology in 1964, Albert Yonas began working with James and Eleanor Gibson at Cornell University on visual perception and the development of attention. In the fall of 1968, he was hired as an Assistant Prof. at the Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota. Forty-nine years later he retired and moved to Phoenix to be close to his two daughters and four of his six grandchildren. Over his career he explored the development of space perception in human infants, monkeys, and, more recently, children in India who were born blind and restored to sight in their teens.

Dr. Yonas is interested in advancing our understanding of the problem of subjective experience or consciousness, by exploring the depth cue called familiar size. He is working on the question of what makes an object memorable and aesthetically pleasing.
