Attention & Learning

Current Research Projects

  • Sleep & Memory in Children

    This program of research investigates the role of sleep in benefitting learning and memory in children. So far projects have looked at the benefit of sleep for emotional images, words and sentences, as well as explore the underlying neurophysiology of these interactions. Future work is aimed at more naturalistic settings and real-world learning.
