Biography
I am a Professor of Motor Behavior. My research focuses on attention and cognition in complex motor tasks. My current research agenda is examining factors (e.g., experience, attention, working memory, reinforcement sensitivity, heart rate variability) that affect performance and errors in dynamic policing tasks, such as shoot/don't shoot decision making.
My undergraduate teaching responsibilities include:
PEMJ 324 - Basic Motor Learning
EXSC 255 - Research Methods and Data Interpretation
PEMJ 236 - Coaching Principles/Problems
My graduate teaching responsibilities include:
SPAD 557 - Motor Behavior in Youth
EXSC 556 - Neuromotor Basis of Movement
SPAD 557 - Advanced Coaching Techniques
Education
- BS, University of Liverpool (England)
- MS, University of West Chester
- PhD, John Moores University (England)
Resume/CV
Research
My doctoral training, ongoing research, and primary teaching responsibilities are all in the discipline of motor behavior. This is the science of how we develop, learn, and control motor skills. Motor behavior exists at the intersection of kinesiology, cognitive psychology, and neuroscience, and expertise in this field is often uniquely placed to examine complex behaviors involving both movement responses and cognition, such as those in sports as well as occupational environments such as military and police settings.
