About us
We conduct research into the fundamental processes behind human cognition, including reading, language comprehension, learning and long-term memory, working-memory, and visual attention. Beyond its academic significance, our work has real-world impact – shaping educational policy and addressing misunderstandings in topics such as climate science.
We use a diverse range of approaches to study cognitive processes. These include: lab-based studies with state of the art technology such as high-resolution eye-tracking, EEG, and virtual reality; classroom-based studies of language, literacy, and learning; and computational modelling.
Collaboration is integral to our approach. Members of our research group actively collaborate with others; accessing talent across the Department, the University, as well as across the world to understand the cognitive processes within social, developmental, and neuroscientific contexts. We are also actively involved in the Data Science Institute, and Security Lancaster.
