Au cours de ses études de doctorat, monsieur Tremblay se spécialise en psychologie cognitive. L’excellence de sa thèse lui vaut d’être mis en nomination pour le Award of Outstanding Doctoral Research décerné par le Scientific Affairs Board de la British Psychological Society. Il effectue un premier stage postdoctoral à l’Université de Cardiff où il mène des recherches en psychologie cognitive appliquée, puis un deuxième stage postdoctoral à l’Université Laval où ses recherches portent sur la perception et l’attention. En 2001, l’Université de Cardiff lui conférait le titre de Fellow et par la suite, en 2011, le titre prestigieux de Honorary Professor, donnant ainsi un statut officiel aux collaborations qu’il maintient avec les chercheurs de cette université et une reconnaissance de sa contribution à la recherche sur le plan international. Professeur à l’École de psychologie depuis 2002, il a obtenu une subvention à l’infrastructure de la Fondation canadienne pour l’innovation (FCI) qui lui a permis de mettre en place un laboratoire unique au Canada. Ses travaux de recherche sont subventionnés par le CRSNG, le FQRSC et le FQRNT. Son programme de recherche comprend trois thèmes principaux : l’étude du traitement de l’information temporelle et spatiale en mémoire, l’étude du déploiement de l’attention, et la prise de décisions complexes. Ces thèmes sont à la base d’un premier volet de recherche fondamentale en psychologie cognitive. Un second volet a pour objectif d’appliquer les méthodes et les connaissances de la psychologie cognitive à l’optimisation de la performance humaine chez l’individu et dans les équipes de travail (ergonomie). Depuis 2006, la recherche appliquée en ergonomie cognitive a mené à l’établissement de plusieurs partenariats avec l’industrie (Thales Canada, CAE, Ubisoft) et à la création du laboratoire Cognition – Distribution, Organisation et Technologie (Co-DOT) grâce à l’obtention, en 2009, d’une subvention du fond des leaders de la FCI.

Psychologie cognitive. Étude de la cognition humaine par la mesure de la performance en situations de double-tâche et d'interférence. Le traitement de l'information verbale et spatiale en mémoire à court terme. Le déploiement des ressources attentionnelles au cours du temps.
