I research the links between
vision, attention and ageing. How does an instruction to attend to an item
get translated into the visual system? How do changes in goals (for example,
to do with food, or clinical state) change this? IÕm particularly interested in
what happens when we ignore things. If we try to look for our friend arriving
at the station, we could enhance the representation of any new person
arriving on the scene, we could suppress the representations of people and
things already visible, or both. You can read about my projects here. I currently teach first year
Biological Psychology and on the third year module Cognition in the Real
World, as well as on the Psychology Research Methods MSc. If you are a
student on these courses, you can get the course materials and ask course
related questions on moodle. Information about the
Psychological Research Methods MSc is here.
We are always looking for
participants to take part in our research. You can read more information
about this on the Volunteer
page. If you want to find out about my
