Research interests

Craving

Our theory of craving and desire, the Elaborated Intrusion Theory, maps the cognitive and emotional processes operating during episodes of craving, explains the motivational power of craving, and suggests new directions for cognitive behavioural treatments of addiction (Psychol Review, 2005). My research into the cognitive processes in craving is done in collaboration with Jon May at Plymouth, David Kavanagh at the University of Queensland, and postgraduate students Joanna Blackburn and Helen Batey.

Implicit cognition

This research aims to test whether frontal brain damage leads to deficits in implicit cognition and, if it does, to find out whether this deficit contributes to dysexecutive symptoms and social behaviour problems. It combines neuropsychology and brain imaging with theories and tests drawn from cognitive and social psychology. I collaborate with Lynne Barker at Sheffield Hallam University and Louise Phillips at Aberdeen University.

Working memory and imagery

The theoretical strand of this research aims to define better the functional relationship between visual short-term memory and imagery. The applied strand explores the role of visual imagery and working memory in anxiety disorders and craving.

Priming and awareness during anaesthesia

Together with Catherine Deeprose and anaesthetists in Sheffield, I have shown that small amounts of memory function persist even during clinical anaesthesia. The implications of this implicit memory priming for patients' wellbeing on recovery are not yet known. Our most recent project, funded by the Wellcome Trust, has used the isolated forearm technique to provide a real-time measure of awareness during paediatric anaesthesia. Our findings are that children are at greater risk of awareness during surgery than adults, but show less memory function during anaesthesia.
