Research
I am interested in creativity and factors which promote or impede it. My PhD is looking at how executive control processes (ie those deliberate processes which allow us to plan, focus, ignore distractions and stay on task) affect creativity in children of primary school age. I use a combination of quantititave and qualitative methods.
