    • Cognitive architecture
    • Cognitive impairments following neurological disease or damage

    Research overview

    My research is broadly concerned with the cognitive processes underlying the control of thought and action. I study these using behavioural and computational methods, and using data from studies of patients with brain injury. Thus, I am interested in questions such as:

    • Are there any well-defined control processes implemented by the brain (and if so what functions do those processes perform)?
    • How we are able to do multiple tasks concurrently, and are there constraints on what can be done concurrently due to cognitive limitations?
    • What computational processes underlie the generation and regulation of sequential behaviour?
    • How do cognitive control process operate in concert to regulate behaviour in complex tasks?

    I also have interests in general issues relating to the methodology of cognitive modelling. This includes:

    • sound and replicable principles for the development and reporting of computational models of cognition;
    • the appropriate use of cognitive architectures (or unified theories of cognition) within the study of cognitive psychology;
    • the development of a computational environment to allow psychologists who are not specialist programmers to develop their own simulations.
