Professor Jeremy Tree is a faculty member at Swansea University's School of Psychology within the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Science. He holds the academic rank of Professor and specializes in cognitive neuropsychology, focusing on disorders such as prosopagnosia (face blindness), aphasia, amnesia, and dyslexia. He is Co-Director of the Psychology Dementia Research Group and Co-Founder of the Face Research Swansea (FaReS) laboratory. His research explores cognitive mechanisms through brain-damaged populations to inform understanding of normal cognitive functions.
Prof. Tree’s expertise spans cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, and positive psychology. He has been awarded Fellowship of the British Psychological Society (FBPsS) and the Higher Education Academy (HEA), reflecting his contributions to both research and education. His work bridges clinical and experimental approaches, with notable studies on face recognition deficits, memory disorders, and assistive technology for chronic conditions.
Recent publications highlight advancements in understanding developmental prosopagnosia, aging effects on face perception, and co-designed assistive technologies. Prof. Tree also leads interdisciplinary projects, such as the FaReS lab’s efforts to improve face recognition training for individuals with prosopagnosia. His grants include studies on dementia assessment, bilingualism’s cognitive effects, and neurorehabilitation methodologies.
