Areas of Teaching
Coordinator, PSYC316, Perception and Perceptual Impairment, Semester 1, 2010
Research interests
My major research interests are in psychosocial effects of hearing impairment and tinnitus and methods of assessment that bear on those problems.
I am also very much interested in auditory spatial perception (sound localisation) and the effects of impaired hearing on this and related auditory functions.
A second research interest, stemming from an interest in communication and its relation to perception, is the evolution of human communicative behaviour. With Iain Davidson I have written Human Evolution, Language, and Mind (Cambridge University Press).
