Staff serving as external examiners

External examiner for BSc. Psychology, University of Reading, 2005-2008.
External examiner for B.A. / B.Sc. Psychology at the University of Essex, 2002-2005.
External examiner for M.Sc. Psychology, University of Essex, 2002-2005.

Research interests

My research interest is the areas of long-term memory and metacognition, with both theoretical and applied interests. This has led me to research such things as the accuracy of confidence judgements in memory, recollective experience, source memory judgements, face-recognition, eyewitness memory, feeling of knowing and tip-of-the-tongue states. Since my PhD I have also retained an interest in cognitive aging.
