About

I am Head of Psychological Research at the National Institute of Teaching (NIoT), and Visiting Associate Professor in the School of Psychology at Aston University.

I am also an Executive Editor of the journal Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, and Associate Editor of Applied Cognitive Psychology.

In 2024 I was awarded a National Teaching Fellowship in recognition of my teaching and leadership in higher education.

My research background is in educational and legal psychology, with a particular focus on issues that relate to human memory, cognition, and social influence. For example, my work has focused on themes such as:

- "feedback literacy": how we nurture people's (e.g. students' and teachers') skill as receivers of feedback
- how people react to feedback on their skills, performance, and memories
- how people retrieve memories of past events, experiences, and information they have learned
- factors that shape or distort what we remember/believe
- how we can help people to remember more effectively

My work has been funded by the Economic & Social Research Council, Assessments & Qualifications Alliance (AQA), Leverhulme Trust, Wellcome Trust, European Commission FP7, College of Policing, Higher Education Academy, British Academy, British Psychological Society, and Richard Benjamin Trust.
