Her research interests include developmental psychology, autism spectrum disorder, episodic and autobiographical memory, future-oriented thinking, theory of mind, metacognition, self-awareness, spatial navigation, and executive function. She investigates how these cognitive domains interact in neurodevelopmental conditions, particularly autism.
Her recent publications focus on self-referential memory, the ownership effect, metacognition, and mentalising in autism. Trends in her work show a strong emphasis on experimental cognitive psychology, with recurring themes of self-awareness, memory biases, and cognitive simulation in autism. She frequently collaborates with researchers such as David Williams, Dermot Bowler, and Peter Carruthers.
