My research interests
My main interest in is the impact of sleep and memory consolidation on learning. I do this work both with adults and children, using begavioural methods and polysomnography at the Royal Holloway sleep lab. I am also interested in other learning and memory related phenomena, mostlyusing language and word learning paradigms.
