Dr Carole Carter

I have previously taught on a range of undergraduate modules primarily delivering cognitive psychology and developmental psychology.

I am the Employability Officer for the School of Psychology and as part of this role, I am the Module Leader for our third year placement module and oversee student volunteering as part of our second year Future Selves module. I also supervise undergraduate empirical projects.

My main area of interest is the development of working memory and how this is related to arithmetic achievement. Related to this, I am interested in factors influencing performance/approach to math in adulthood, particularly math anxiety.

I am also interested in factors that predict career aspirations and career planning behaviours, eg anxiety and self-efficacy. I am currently involved in an intervention study aimed at developing student engagement in the career planning process.
