Anne Treisman (psychologist)

Anne Treisman was a renowned psychologist known for her work on how we process visual information. She developed the feature integration theory, which explains how our brain combines different aspects of what we see—like color, shape, and size—into a coherent whole. Her research showed that our attention plays a crucial role in this process, helping us focus on specific objects and details in complex scenes. Treisman’s insights have significantly advanced understanding of perception and attention, shaping modern cognitive psychology and influencing how we study human information processing.
