Memory Learning and Thinking

Researchers in this group carry out innovative and internationally acknowledged research on issues regarding the acquisition, storage, retrieval and utilisation of information by the human cognitive system.
Four main areas of work are currently active among group members: Cognition and Emotion; Aging and Cognition; Working Memory: Mechanisms and Roles; and Everyday Cognition. Recent work has cast new light on depressive realism in contingency learning, examined the effect of aging on autobiographical memory and problem-solving ability, and investigated medical decision making and errorless learning.
