Short biography
I obtained my B.Sc. in 1987 from the Psychology department at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. After that I caught the train down to the University of Oxford where I obtained my D.Phil. in 1990 from the faculty of physiological sciences. I subsequently took a bus to Heathrow airport and flew economy class to Minnesota where I became a research associate in the Minnesota Laboratory for Low-Vision Research in the Department of Psychology at the University of Minnesota. I stayed there for about 10 years. Finally, a two-day drive along I-94, I-90, and I-87, (plus a minute or two on Route 3) brought me to Plattsburgh.
Teaching
I teach classes in General Psychology (PSY101), General Psychology Lab (PSY105), Experimental Design (PSY205), Cognitive Psychology (PSY321), Perception and Sensory processes (PSY424), a Junior Seminar about false memories (PSY304), and a graduate class in Learning and Cognition (PSY520). If you are currently a student in one of my classes you can use the STUDENT LOGIN link to access your grades and other important class information.
Research
My research concerns the perceptual and cognitive processes involved in reading, and the cognitive factors underlying plagiarism in student work.
