Personal profile
Overview
I am a Lecturer in Psychology at the University of the West of Scotland, with a background in cognitive psychology.
My research interests relate to the cognitive demands of multitasking and media-multitasking. Specifically, recent research has investigated how media-multitasking frequency and performance relates to executive functioning.
I teach across various Undergraduate and Masters level modules and have a keen interest in the scholarship of learning and teaching.
