Helene Intraub is a Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Delaware where she is Director of the Cognitive Program and heads the Spatial Cognition Lab. She received her BA from Stony Brook University, her Ph.D. from Brandeis University, and was a very happy postdoc at MIT. Her research is in the areas of scene perception, memory and spatial cognition. She studies the effects of timing, attention, and instruction on memory for real-world views to address questions about scene representation. Methods include multiple types of memory task, comparison across populations, neuroimaging and neuropsychological comparisons. 

An avid attendee of Psychonomic Society Meetings since graduate school, she was elected to the Governing Board (2009-2014) during a period of major transition in the Society's history. Helene chaired the 2012 Strategic Planning Committee and served as Governing Board Chair (2013) during conceptualization of the Society’s bylaws and initial implementation of a succession of changes based on the new strategic initiatives. Among other roles, she was a program director at NSF and is a member of the Advisory Board of Women in Cognitive Science (WiCS) and the Committee of Science and the Arts at the Franklin Institute. An advocate of science outreach, she has contributed materials and tutorials from her lab to science museums and high schools in support of "hands-on science".
