My current research focuses largely on the continued influence of misinformation. Specifically, I study how misinformation can continue to influence people's memory, reasoning, and decision making despite clear and credible corrections. I investigate factors that contribute to this effect as well as strategies that can reduce its impact.

I use mainly behavioural experimentation, but in collaboration with my students and other researchers I also apply neuro-imaging methods (event-related potentials and fMRI) and computational modelling.

My research is rooted in cognitive psychology, but also relates to the areas of cognitive neuroscience, social psychology, health psychology, clinical psychology, communication, and political science.

Other research interests include:
  • Human memory (episodic memory; recognition memory; implicit memory; working memory)
  • Memory updating
  • Feature binding & perceptual specificity of memory

I am an Associate Editor at Experimental Psychology and the Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition.

As an academic concerned with the psychological impacts of misinformation, I am a signatory of the Pro-truth Pledge.
