I am currently senior lecturer at the University of the West of England
in Bristol. I have
also worked at Goldsmiths College University of London, the
University of Worcester, the Univsersity of Gloucestershire, and the
University of Murcia in Spain. I obtained my PhD in Neural Networks at Imperial College,
University of London, and then worked as a research assistant to Alan
Baddeley at the Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit at Cambridge.
My
main research interests are in evaluative conditioning
(aka evaluative learning), with an emphasis on its application
to anxiety disorders and its relationship with attentional
bias. I am also interested in proenvironmental behaviour and the use of persuasive messages to encourage voluntary behaviour change.
LabWriteUp
is a computer application designed to help students write their
research reports. It is a question-answering system that builds a draft
report based on the information provided. It is both a practical tool
and a teaching software package to help you learn how to write research
reports to a high standard. For more information and to find out how to
obtain your copy of this unique software click here.
I
have written a couple of textbooks ('Cogntive Psychology'
and
'A Guide to Coursework in Psychology') as well as a lot
of material for the web (interactive exercises, and so
on) to help students learn about psychology. Click here
to find out more and for a lot of FREE stuff, such as a free online Cognitive Psychology book.
I have created a grading and marking application for student coursework. It helps the tutor provide a large amount of written feedback to a student on their coursework with relative ease. It can be used for marking essays, presentations, lab reports, research reports, and even student references.
