Katelyn researches the use of games for cognitive assessment, particularly in the area of attention. She studies how these games are made and evaluated, how they compare to traditional assessment methods, and how they can be used to collect high-quality, high-quantity psychological data. She is completing her PhD under the supervision of Dr. Regan Mandryk.
Prior to starting her studies at the University of Saskatchewan in 2017, Katelyn completed a BSc in psychology and a MEDes (Master of Environmental Design) at the University of Calgary, focused on healthcare human factors. She also worked with W21C and the Canadian Patient Safety Institute.
