Susan Gathercole is the Unit Director at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit.[1] She is a research psychologist, best known for her studies into working memory deficits in children. She has worked extensively with Professor Alan Baddeley, the co-creator, along with Professor Graham Hitch, of arguably the most well-researched working memory model. In 2014 she was elected a Fellow of the British Academy.[2]
Gathercole's findings have demonstrated the link between working memory deficits in children and poor academic outcomes.[3] Furthermore, she has contributed to recent research showing that working memory deficits can be overcome with computerised, adaptive working memory training.[4]
