I was born in Victoria, British Columbia, and lived in Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, and B.C. before returning to attend the University of Victoria and receive an Honours B.A. in psychology in 1983. I received a Ph.D. in Psychology from McMaster University in 1991, and was appointed Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Lethbridge in 1990. I teach cognitive psychology, social cognition, and research methods, and have teaching and research interests in categorization and concept learning, memory, the acquisition of diagnostic expertise, and research ethics.
