I am a Lecturer in the School of Psychology
at the University
of Nottingham. I am a
member of the Nottingham's Cognitive
Development and Learning Group, the Nottingham
Toddler Lab, the Cognitive
Neuroscience Group and the Institute of Neuroscience.
My research focuses on the processes underlying the development of
attentional control. I design behavioural and imaging tasks to test typically
developing infants, children and adults. I then apply these to the study of
developmental disorders of known aetiology (primarily of known genetic
origin).
PAST
AND CURRENT RESEARCH
Neurocognitive development of attentional control
in typically developing toddlers, children and adults
·
The development of attentional control
·
Electrophysiology and neuroimaging of
attentional control
Attentional control in disorders of known genetic
origin
·
Fragile X syndrome

Williams syndrome
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Implications of attentional control for perceptual and
cognitive development other than attention, across typical and atypical
populations
Integrating finer measures of attentional control (e.g.,
effects on eye-movement measures) with electrophysiological and neuroimaging
measures of typical and atypical brain development
