Background

About Afroditi Panagopoulos

I earned my Doctorate degree in Experimental Psychology from Concordia University. My research area is in Visual Perception. I study the role that visual attention plays in guiding our actions and solving everyday visual search tasks. A particular research interest has been to determine how many separate attentional locations we can hold at one single time. This has real world applications in many areas, notably in the aviation and military sectors. I conducted my research in the Vision Lab at Concordia University. Since the Fall of 2013, I have been teaching at John Abbott in the Psychology Department. I have taught a vast array of courses both at the Cégep and the University level. These courses have included, Introduction to Psychology, Social Psychology, Psychology of Human Development, Issues in Health Psychology, Sensation and Perception, Fundamentals of Learning, Research Methods, Statistical Analysis I & II, Adolescence to Maturity, Stress Management, The Human Brain, and Communication & Team Work. “What I love most about teaching at John Abbott College are the small class sizes. This is conducive to a warm, welcoming and engaging learning experience. I enjoy getting to know my students and learning as much as I can from each one of them”.
