معرفی
Dr. Graham Hole is an Honorary Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex. His research focuses on perception and attention, with dual emphases on face processing and driving behavior. In face processing, he investigates how humans recognize faces, judge age, and manage 'own-group' biases (e.g., the other-race effect), with applied work improving facial composite tools for law enforcement. Collaborations include projects with Sarah Laurence (Keele University) and Gini Harrison (Open University). In driving research, he examines how distractions like mobile phones impair hazard perception, working closely with Gemma Briggs (Open University). His work bridges theoretical insights (e.g., perceptual strategies, shorthand codes for drivers) with practical implications for交通安全 and forensic practices.
Key research themes include:
- Face recognition mechanisms and biases
- Forensic applications of face composite technology
- Perceptual and attentional demands in driving
- Cognitive load effects from dual-tasking
Publications span over three decades, reflecting his expertise in visual cognition, memory, and applied psychology. He has authored/co-authored books on face processing, driving psychology, and research methods, including Face Processing: Psychological, Neuropsychological, and Applied Perspectives (2010) and The Psychology of Driving (2006).
