Anne Treisman is one of the significant figures of contemporary psychology. She is a cognitive psychologist who has proposed influential theories about attentional systems. She is currently affiliated with Princeton University as a professor emeritus since 2010. Her research interests are now visual attention, object perception, and memory. Life and career She was born on 27 February 1935 in Wakefield, Yorkshire, as the eldest daughter of her family. His father was English and his mother was French. Therefore, she is bilingual and binational, which sometimes makes her feel like she does not fully belong to any culture even now in the United States, although this background has facilitated her adaptation to a new culture (Treisman, 2014). His father, who was an educator, influenced his decisions about what topics he would study. Despite his preference for science, his father changed his mind towards French, Latin, and history during his high school years because he did not want his son to be separated from any culture (Treisman, 2014). Consequently, still under the direction of his father, he began the study of modern languages ​​at Cambridge University, which lasted three years. After finishing her first undergraduate degree, she wanted to do her second undergraduate degree in psychology and applied to Cambridge to use her PhD research scholarship opportunity in French literature to study psychology (Treisman, 2014). Fortunately, Cambridge accepted this request and she began the psychological journey of her life. Treisman earned his bachelor's degree in psychology within a year.
