Professor Malcolm MacLeod is interested in basic cognitive and social processes that cut across a
variety of domains in psychology. Current research interests focus on: retrieval processes in memory,
the modelling of inhibitory mechanisms in memory, retrieval-induced forgetting, and the production of
misinformation effects.
He was recently awarded a Royal Society of Edinburgh Research Support Fellowship (2001-2003) to examine
retrieval-induced forgetting in older adults. (More details).
He currently holds a British Academy Research Readership (2003-2005) to explore the role of suppression
mechanisms in memory for emotive events. (More details). |
