Cognitive Psychology
Discover how our experts in cognitive psychology help us to understand how we learn, think, and make decisions.
We have wide-ranging interests in learning, memory, problem-solving, decision-making, attention, perception, consciousness, and language. As well as normal adult cognition we study both developmental issues and various pathologies. We use a variety of techniques, including traditional behavioural methods, and modern neuroscientific methods, such as EEG/ERP TMS, and fMRI.
