John Morton

Professor John Morton of the UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience has today been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. Professor Morton is widely recognised as a pioneer of cognitive theories that explain and predict rather than describe and correlate behaviour. He provided an influential and lasting model of how we recognise words, has made significant contributions to understanding short term memory, and has conducted ground breaking work on cognitive development in childhood.
