Erin Scully

Erin Scully serves as an ATS Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Science, at the University of Alberta. She actively teaches core undergraduate courses including PSYCH 104 (Basic Psychological Processes), PSYCH 275 (Brain and Behavior), PSYCH 367 (Perception), and PSYCH 377 (Human Neuropsychology) across Fall 2025 and Winter 2026 terms, delivering multiple lecture sections per course.

Her academic focus centers on neural and cognitive mechanisms underlying human behavior, with research interests spanning:

• Cognitive Psychology and information processing
• Neuropsychological assessment and brain damage effects
• Sensory-perceptual systems and experimental paradigms
• Learning-motivation dynamics in behavioral contexts
• Brain-behavior relationships in clinical populations
• Cognitive rehabilitation methodologies

Dr. Scully's pedagogical approach integrates empirical research with clinical applications, particularly examining how neurological conditions impact cognition, emotion, and sensorimotor function. Her courses emphasize evidence-based analysis of perception, memory, language, and executive functions through both theoretical frameworks and laboratory experiences.

As an educator, she oversees large-enrollment courses with structured laboratory components requiring research participation or alternative assignments. Her teaching responsibilities demonstrate consistent commitment to foundational and advanced psychological science instruction within the Faculty of Science curriculum.
