Manon Jones is a Professor in Psychology and Director of Research at Bangor University's School of Psychology and Sport Science. She directs the Miles Dyslexia Centre, a research hub providing assessment services and professional development for practitioners, and leads the RILL project—a bilingual literacy program for primary schools funded by UKRI, Nuffield Foundation, and Welsh Government.
Her research explores cognitive and neurocognitive foundations of reading, dyslexia, and bilingualism. Key themes include:
- Cross-modal learning in dyslexia
- Orthographic processing across languages
- Remote literacy instruction efficacy
- Neurodivergent cognition models
- Syntax acquisition in bilinguals
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2014–2025) reveals dominant foci on dyslexia mechanisms (9 papers), bilingual language processing (7 papers), and literacy intervention design (4 papers). Methodologies include eye-tracking, ERP, and randomized controlled trials, with increasing emphasis on computational modeling since 2021.
She leads multiple grants including:
- RILL randomized control trial (Welsh Government, 2022–2026)
- Welsh literacy scale-up project (2024–2025)
- Neurodevelopmental disorder screening tool development (2022–2023)
- COVID-19 remote teaching research (2020–2022)
She directs the Reading Brain lab and collaborates with NHS services to translate research into clinical/educational practice.
