Joanna Greer

Joanna Greer is Assistant Professor in Psychology at Northumbria University, specializing in cognitive neuropsychology with PhD from Northumbria. Her research investigates neurodevelopmental traits using EEG and behavioral methods to examine executive functioning, sensory processing, and attentional mechanisms.

Research focuses on:

• Subclinical autistic/ADHD traits in general populations
• Attentional control and mind wandering markers
• Sensory processing differences
• EEG applications in developmental disorders

Studies examine psychophysiological indicators of attentional states (e.g., blink rates), cultural perceptions of autism, and memory consolidation processes. Applied work includes developing radiology checklists to reduce inattentional blindness and investigating Forest School pedagogy challenges.
