Goldsmiths - University of London

Dr Andy Bremner

I came to Goldsmiths, University of London in 2005 having completed a DPhil at the University of Oxford, and undertaken postdoctoral research at the Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development at Birkbeck, University of London, and the Cognitive Science Research Unit at Université Libre de Bruxelles.

Research interests

My research interests are in object knowledge and spatial representation in infancy and early childhood, the development of multisensory perception and the development of learning and cognitive control. To read more about my research visit my Psychology staff page.
