About

I have a long standing interest in the consequences of brain damage on specific cognitive functions (cognitive neuropsychology) – in particular, disorders of reading (dyslexia), speech production (aphasia), memory (amnesia) and face processing (prosopagnosia). In each case the work seeks to better illuminate the processing components of these specific functions in the normal population.

I am the Co-Director of the Psychology Dementia Research Group (founded by Professor Andrea Tales) and Co-founder of the Face Research Swansea (FaReS) lab. As well as being a Registered Chartered Psychologist (C. Psychol.), Fellow of the British Psychological Society (FBPsS), member of the Health Professionals Council and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA).

If you are interested in face research and would like to learn more or even take part in experiments - then visit the Face Research Swansea (FaReS) website.

Taught Modules

PS-M007 Clinical aspects of brain and behaviour through the lifespan

This module focuses on the interplay between neurological changes and traumatic experiences as a key field in understanding and interpreting behaviours across the lifespan. This involves exploring how behavioural and cognitive mechanisms underlying adaptive function are impacted by events such as adverse childhood experiences, neurodevelopmental brain insults, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative problems. The aims are both achieving a detailed understanding of clinical presentations, and targeting appropriate interventions for each case. Students will learn about the functional anatomy of the human brain (both limbic and cortical areas), how these regions are implicated in behavioural and cognitive regulation, and how such information informs methods of clinical psychology. Students will also be introduced to key clinically-based theories underpinning our understanding of neuropsychological syndromes, such as aphasia, amnesia, ASD, and attachment disorders. Additionally, they will learn about the drivers of rehabilitation methodologies available for such populations, and the means by which appropriate interventions can be selected.
PS-M50 Neuropsychology

Cognitive neuropsychology is a key field that marries together the fields of cognitive psychology and clinical neuropsychology. It involves the utilisation of cognitive models of normal function to understand the cognitive impairments seen in brain damaged populations - with the aims of both achieving a detailed understanding of the presentation profile of a case study and targeting appropriate intervention for the case in question. Students will learn about the functional anatomy of the human cerebral cortex and how such information links to the primary methods of cognitive neuropsychology. Students will also be introduced to key clinically based theories underpinning our understanding of neuropsychological syndromes such as aphasia and amnesia ¿ an understanding the drives the rehabilitation methodologies available for brain damaged populations, and the means by which appropriate interventions can be selected.
PSY343 Cognitive Neuropsychology

The aim of the module is to provide a broad understanding of the field of cognitive neuropsychology, which is the study of cognitive models of normal function with relation to patterns of cognitive impairments seen in brain damaged populations. Students will learn about the functional anatomy of the human cerebral cortex and how such information links to the primary methods of neuropsychology. Students will also be introduced to key cognitive theories underpinning our understanding of neuropsychological syndromes such as aphasia and amnesia. Lectures will focus on the major domains of language and memory with key debates concerning models relating to these domains being discussed and outlined ¿ students will be introduced to key issues in the field of mind and brain that are applicable across the field (e.g., the issue of falsifiability, group versus case studies, neuroimaging and epiphenomena).
