معرفی
Dr. Paula Stacey is a Principal Lecturer in Psychology at the School of Social Sciences, Nottingham Trent University (NTU). Her research focuses on auditory perception, hearing impairment, and perceptual learning, with a particular emphasis on improving speech perception for cochlear implant users through auditory training. She teaches research methods and supervises final-year projects.
Previously, she worked at the MRC Institute of Hearing Research and completed her PhD at the University of York. Her work explores audiovisual speech perception in noise, forensic voice identification, and the impact of aging and hearing loss on perceptual integration. She collaborates with institutions like the MRC Institute of Hearing Research and the NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Unit in Hearing, supported by grants from Deafness Research UK and the Medical Research Council.
Dr. Stacey reviews for journals such as the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied and Ear and Hearing, and evaluates grants for organizations like the Medical Research Council. Her research bridges cognitive psychology, audiology, and forensic science, addressing practical challenges in hearing rehabilitation and legal applications of voice recognition.
Her lab work involves developing training approaches for cochlear implant users, optimizing voice parade procedures, and studying eye movements linked to the McGurk effect. She emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration to advance both theoretical understanding and real-world interventions in hearing science.
