SUMMARY of research interests (100 words)
I have a long-standing interest in spatial navigation, from neurobiological, comparative, cognitive and developmental perspectives. The basic questions in this field concern how we maintain a sense of orientation as we navigate through the world, how we code and remember locations in environments that we have previously visited and how we navigate novel versus habitual routes. More recently I have been involved with research on the neuropsychological consequences of childhood epilepsy, and on how services for children with epilepsy and their families can be improved.
