Research overview

I am interested in all aspects of perceptual and cognitive development in infancy and childhood.The real challenge for developmental psychology is to explain HOW one level of competence is transformed into the next level of competence. A mechanistic account of development is required to answer this question. Computer modelling provides a tool for exploring how different candidate mechanisms can account for the developmental profiles observed in infants and children. Connectionist networks are particularly well suited for modelling development because they develop their own internal representations in response to environmental pressures. Moreover, they provide a bridge between the neuroscience descriptions of development and the traditional (behavioural) descriptions of cognitive development.
My research involves a blend of (connectionist) computational modelling and empirical studies with infants and children. Research projects with children have included: the development of seriation abilities, the development of metaphor comprehension, and the developing basis for inductive reasoning. Research projects with infants have included: the search for occluded and visible objects, the perception of object unity, categorisation of visually presented stimuli, and the determinants of visual pursuit.
The common theme that underlies these projects is the exploration of how the computational properties of a learning systems (e. g., a connectionist autoencoder network or a 3-month-old infant) interact with the distribution of meaningful features in the environment to cause the observed patterns of development in children and infants.

  Title of thesis:
  The neural correlates of inhibitory control and counterintuitive reasoning in typically developing children, adolescents and adults.
  
  Description:
  My research interests lie broadly in Educational Neuroscience and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) methods. More specifically, I am interested in executive functions, including inhibitory control, and how these processes relate to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) learning.
  Studying scientific and mathematical concepts can be challenging for students of all ages. The reason for which may be due to the prevalence of counterintuitive concepts in STEM subjects. Building on previous work from the UnLocke programme, my PhD project will explore the neural mechanisms of inhibitory control in counterintuitive reasoning in maths and science, using functional MRI data in primary school children. The second aim of the project will be to investigate the neural mechanisms of inhibitory control and counterintuitive reasoning across development in adolescents and adults.
