معرفی
Louise Ewing is an Associate Professor in the School of Psychology at the University of East Anglia (UEA), where she has been a faculty member since 2015. She is actively involved in research, teaching, and leadership, particularly in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion. Her work is centered on understanding face and person perception, with a strong focus on neurodiverse populations.
Her research interests include:
- Face and person perception development
- Strategic information use in facial judgments
- Emergence of social attributions (e.g., trustworthiness, attractiveness)
- Neural correlates of face processing using EEG
- Individual differences in social motivation
The recent articles highlight a consistent trend in developmental cognitive neuroscience, particularly in understanding how face expertise develops in children and neurodiverse individuals. Her work integrates behavioral paradigms with EEG to decode neural mechanisms underlying social perception, with a strong emphasis on real-world implications such as trust behavior and interpersonal dynamics.
Scientific awards and recognitions include:
- Fellowship at the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders
- Postdoctoral Fellowship at Birkbeck, University of London
Louise Ewing actively supervises PhD and Master’s students and has secured multiple research grants from prestigious bodies including the British Academy, Leverhulme Trust, and BIAL. Her funded projects explore topics such as shared attention, strategic information use, and social aspects of face perception. She teaches core psychology courses and mentors students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
She is a member of the Developmental Science research group and collaborates nationally and internationally on topics related to cognitive and social development. Her lab uses advanced techniques like EEG to investigate the neurophysiological underpinnings of social cognition in both typical and atypical development.
