Miss Emma McDonald - BSc Plymouth

Position:PhD Student - writing up
My research interests focus upon Dyslexia and Cognitive Psychology, especially upon short term memory and reasoning. As part of my PhD, supervised by Bill Macken and Dylan Jones, I am running a series of experiments looking at the effects of irrelevant sound, spatial serial recall and semantic similarities in dyslexic populations.
