Professor Sarah Bate is an academic at Bournemouth University, currently serving as Interim Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research and Knowledge Exchange). She leads the Centre for Face Processing Disorders and authored the seminal book *Face Recognition and its Disorders*. Her work focuses on face-processing impairments in developmental and acquired prosopagnosia (face blindness), employing eye-movement technology to explore theoretical and remediation strategies.
Education: Completed a BSc (2004), MSc (2005), and PhD (2009) in Psychology at the University of Exeter, followed by postdoctoral research before joining Bournemouth in 2010.
Research Interests: Prosopagnosia sub-classification, face recognition disorders, neuropsychological assessment tools, and applications in forensic and clinical settings. Her studies span cognitive mechanisms, rehabilitation techniques, and individual differences in face perception.
Recent articles emphasize taxometric analysis of prosopagnosia subtypes, familial transmission patterns, and the role of birthweight in face recognition. Collaborations include work on oxytocin’s effects and the development of diagnostic tools like the Oxford Face Matching Test.
Grants and Affiliations: Active in grants such as the *Face Blindness Awareness Campaign* and affiliated with the British Psychological Society and Experimental Psychology Society. Supervises PhD students like Anna Bobak, focusing on neuropsychological and developmental aspects of face recognition.
