Research interests
My PhD Project examine relationshps between perceptions about the memory of a person with dementia, held by the individual themself and by a close family member. Their role in the memory performance of the person with dementia will also be examined. I am also interested in intergenerational relationships, particularly between grandparents and grandchildren. I have also worked on part of the UAstralian Longitudinal study of Ageing Project.
