Teaching Interests
My main teaching interest relates to my background in vision science: visual perception and the visual system.
Visual system: I teach undergraduate and postgraduate students how information is processed from eye through to brain, indicating how and when these processes sometimes fail. As well as the mechanics of the visual system, I teach visual perception, including the development of visual perception in human infants.
As well as teaching related to the visual system and visual perception, my teaching in the area of biological psychology includes sex and gender. This includes an overview of animal and human studies and a critical evaluation of the evidence for biological differences as the basis for behavioural gender differences.
Research Interests
My pedagogical research interests include;
- best practise in online teaching and assessment;
- use of technology in teaching, e.g. effectiveness of polling apps in teaching;
- students' perceptions of success/failure;
- the impact of fear of failure / attitudes towards failure on student outcomes.
My discipline-specific research focusses on depth perception, specifically binocular (stereoscopic) depth perception, and the functional impact of poor or absent stereoscopic depth perception.
Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
