Foundational Processes of Behaviour Research Laboratories

Researchers in the Learning and Cognition group seek to understand how we go about changing our behaviour in order to adapt to a changing environment.

We explore topics such as:

Why do we speak (and hear) with an accent when we learn a second language as an adult?

Researcher: Dr Michael Tyler

How are our emotional and reflexive responses modulated by our experiences and how we think about those experiences?

Researcher: Dr Gabrielle Weidemann

The role of experience in person perception.

Researcher: Dr Rachel Robbins

What kinds of cognitive processes are affected in patients with neuropsychological disorders?

Researcher: Dr Ahmed Moustafa
