Research Group Cognitive Psychology
Cognitive Psychology takes a broad and integrative approach to understanding mental processes. Reflecting this breadth, and Newcastle's leading position in Psychology and Cognitive Science in Australia, we research a diverse range of topics including decision making, human memory, cognitive development, skill acquisition, attention, multitasking, spatial cognition, animal cognition and evolutionary psychology. We have particular strength in mathematical modeling and pursue research that integrates behavioural and neuroscience measures, and which makes use of cutting-edge statistical and computational methods.
