Dr Sarah Laurence

The School of Psychology, Sport & Exercise is pleased to welcome Dr Sarah Laurence (Lecturer in Psychology, Keele University) who is giving the fourth Visiting Speaker Series talk on Thursday 19th November, 4pm, in the R001 Lecture Theatre in the Science Centre (Leek Road campus).

Sarah will be speaking about her cognitive psychological research into face perception. Sarah’s research investigates the basic psychological processes associated with facial recognition, how experience influences facial recognition, and the potential applications of understanding the basic processes of face recognition in contexts such as the criminal and justice system (e.g. when applied to eyewitness testimony).
