Subject Area: Psychology
I graduated with BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Derby in 1998. I then went on to graduate from an MSc in Cognitive Psychology also at the University of Derby in 2001. My dissertation was on Belief Bias in Syllogistic reasoning, using a conclusion generation paradigm.
I completed my Ph.D. in March 2007 and am employed as a Lecturer in the Psychology department. My PhD concerned strategies and processing in syllogistic reasoning using a computer based inspection time and process tracing methodology, in order to test current theories of syllogistic inference.
In my role as Lecturer, I am module leader for four phase 2 modules - Quantitative Methods and Statistics in Psychology and Thinking and Reasoning, delivered on campus and via e-learning. I am also module leader for Research Methods and Analysis on the Health Ergonomics programme.
I am also the Stage 1 leader for psychology students.
Teaching responsibilities
I am Lecturer in Psychology and Module Leader for Quantitative Statistics in Psychology and Thinking and Reasoning (both phase 2).
Research interests
My research interests include deductive, inductive and probabilistic reasoning. I am also interested in bias and rationality in people's beliefs, decision making and inference.
