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. As well as its academic significance, our work has real-world impact, from informing educational practice to helping to tackle misunderstanding about climate science. To explore cognitive processes, we have the capacity to use state of the art technology in our dedicated research laboratories, such as high-resolution eye-tracking, EEG, and virtual reality. Members of our research group actively collaborate across the other research groups within the department, to understand the cognitive processes within social, developmental, and neuroscientific contexts.
