Ashley Symons is a Lecturer in Psychology at the Department of Psychology, Royal Holloway, University of London. Her research focuses on auditory perception, attention mechanisms, and the cognitive neuroscience of sound processing in environmental, musical, and speech contexts.
- PhD in Psychology (2017), University of Manchester
- MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience (2014), University of York
- BA in Psychology (2013), University of California, Davis
Her work investigates how humans perceive and attend to sounds, speech, and music, with applications to education and cognitive development. Recent studies examine tone language effects on attention, informational masking in speech processing, and time perception distortions caused by salient auditory stimuli.
She leads a project funded by Sempre: Society for Education and Music Psychology Research, titled 'Investigating the development of musical cue weighting' (2024-2025). Her research aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) through auditory-based learning insights.
Affiliated with the ORCID: 0000-0001-5980-6752 and based at TW20 0EX, she contributes to open-access journals like Imaging Neuroscience and Psychonomic Bulletin and Review.
