Personal profile
Personal Statement
I am a Research Assistant at the University of Strathclyde for an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded project 'strategy training to support healthy cognitive ageing: behavioural, neuroimaging, and real-world investigations' led by Prof. Louise Brown Nicholls.
I am a first year PhD student at the University of Strathclyde (currently on voluntary suspension until Feb 25). My project is an investigation of young and older adults' strategies during age-sensitive visual working memory.
Research Interests
My research interest is in cognitive ageing, specifically how visual short-term ('working') memory is affected by age. I am also interested in the strategies young and older adults use to try to remember visual information and the potential for strategy training to boost capacity.
