Profile

Biography

  • University College London
    BA (1956)
  • Princeton University
    MA (1957)
  • Cambridge University
    PhD (1962)

I graduated in psychology from UCL, and after an MA at Princeton, joined the MRC Applied Psychology Unit in Cambridge, where I completed a PhD. After several years on the scientific staff of the APU I moved to the U of Sussex in Experimental Psychology, then to a chair at Stirling university, before returning to the APU as Director. Some 21 years later I moved to Bristol University for 8 years before joining the York department in 2003.

My interests are in human memory, neuropsychology and in the practical application of cognitive psychology.
