Personal profile

Research interests

  • The connectionist modelling of immediate serial recall and its relation to long-term sequence learning, such as seen in Hebb effects.
  • The relationship between Hebb effects and language abilities, such as the learning of phonological word-forms, and disorders, such as dyslexia.
  • Factors affecting pro-environmental behaviour change, with particular reference to behaviours mitigating climate change.
  • The Cube Project (cubeproject.org.uk), and other projects promoting the reduction of carbon emissions in domestic and business settings.
  • Theoretical issues relating to epistemology in cognitive psychology, including those relating to connectionist modelling, and the usefulness to cognitive psychology of brain imaging techniques.
