Development and Lifespan Group
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.
