معرفی
Dr. Candice Morey is a Reader (equivalent to Associate Professor) at Cardiff University's School of Psychology. Her research investigates memory limitations, focusing on verbal vs. non-verbal processing, childhood memory development, and factors influencing working memory. She advocates for open science practices, with materials available via the Open Science Framework.
Education:
- PhD in Psychology, University of Missouri (2007)
- MA in Psychology, University of Missouri (2003)
- BS in Psychology (minor in Music), Florida State University (2001)
Research Interests: Dr. Morey's work examines why memory lapses occur universally, the fragility of visual memory, and strategies to mitigate memory limits. She studies developmental trajectories in children's memory, comparing cognitive strategies across age groups. Key themes include visuospatial bootstrapping, memory binding, and domain-general resource models of working memory.
Publication Trends: Recent articles (2019–2025) emphasize visuospatial memory, cognitive development in children, and executive function training. Her work integrates experimental psychology with developmental neuroscience, frequently employing eye-tracking and cross-lab replications to explore memory retention, interference, and modality-specific processing.
Awards:
- Psychonomic Society Early Career Award (2017)
Supervision & Collaboration: Dr. Morey currently advises postgraduate students Molly Delooze, Genevieve Lawson, Teodor Nikolov, and Helena Leach. She collaborates internationally with researchers from the University of Geneva, University of Edinburgh, and University of Missouri, among others.
Professional Roles: She serves as Deputy Exam Board Chair and teaches courses on memory theory, research methods, and cognitive psychology. Dr. Morey is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Cognition and holds editorial roles at Memory & Cognition and Psychological Science.
