<div class="">I think much of the outpouring about Anne has happened on other lists but should be resent to the vision lists; I am resending below the brief tribute I wrote for another list.</div>

</div>
<div class="">For those of you grieving and missing Anne I recommend the brief video here, which is just quintessential Anne in the lucidity and depth of her explanation, her humility, and her charming joy in the ideas: <a href="https://behavioralpolicy.princeton.edu/news/anne-treisman-1935-2018" class="">https://behavioralpolicy.princeton.edu/news/anne-treisman-1935-2018</a></div>

<div class="">The two enormous, defining privileges of my academic upbringing were the opportunities to work with Molly Potter as a grad student and Anne Triesman as a postdoc.
<div class="">Talk about role models; Wow!
<div class="">Anne was a huge inspiration to me, indeed to all the cognitive psychologists of my generation.</div>
<div class="">
<div class="">As this group will know, she is responsible for an astonishing number of the foundational discoveries and ideas in our field.</div>
<div class="">
<div class="">But she was also a generous and kind person.</div>
<div class="">To enable me to come to Berkeley, Anne battled extensively with the campus bureaucracy so that I could bring my own grant (something the system was not set up to allow), she found space for me when her own lab was itself tiny, and she did all
of this before we had even met, and despite the fact that I had yet to even publish a paper. </div>
<div class="">Anne also had a wry sense of humor that was all the more delightful coming from this otherwise reserved and gracious giant of the field.</div>
<div class="">I remember us “kids” in the lab worrying about the latest attack on feature integration theory, and Anne just responding with a mischeivous grin and a sparkle in her eye, saying: “Here we go again!”. </div>
</div>
<div class="">I remember a star-struck graduate student approaching her at a conference and telling her about their obscure psychophysical finding, and Anne saying: “What would you like, my blessing?”</div>
<div class="">I remember her reporting that when she first moved to California, and one of the very Californian psychologists at Stanford asked her “What do you do for your body?”, she replied “I feed it!”.</div>
<div class="">What a huge loss for many of us personally, and for our field.</div>
