Members of the Development and Lifespan Group focus on childhood development of memory, language and social cognition, visual attention and multimodal integration, literacy, emotion processing and well-being, compassion and mindfulness.
We work both with typically and atypically developing populations.
The Development and Lifespan Group is part of the ARU Centre for Mind and Behaviour.
We offer a Psychology PhD. We have also identified a range of innovative research project opportunities for postgraduate researchers.
