Personal profile

Biography

Gareth joined UEA in 2012, having previously studied at Bangor University, Wales. Here at UEA Gareth completed a PhD under the supervision of Dr Andrew Bayliss, investigating the social cognitive and attentional mechanisms involved in sharing attention with others. Gareth has also lectured and led seminars across a number of undergraduate modules, as well as being involved with a number of additional research projects. From January 2017 Gareth will be a Leverhulme Trust Post-doc here in the School of Psychology, UEA, working on the grant ‘Examining the mechanisms underpinning shared attention’.

Key Research Interests

Gareth is primarily interested in social-cognitive processing and attentional mechanisms involved in social contexts and interactions. These interests have led to investigations including how attention is distributed when our eye-gaze is followed, how our attention is impacted by those we (regularly) interact with, how gaze-based interactions change the way in which we process and perceive others, and individual differences in gaze-based behaviours.
