The Applied Cognitive Psychology ASRI, comprising a diverse group of researchers from the School of Psychology and elsewhere within the university, was established in the begining of 2006. Applied cognitive psychology addresses a diverse array of contemporary human phenomena, suggesting practical solutions for many real world problems. Our concentration of internationally renowned researchers in fundamental areas of human cognition applies cognitive psychological principles to practical issues as diverse as autism, brain function in psychopathology, decision making, eating disorders, eyewitness memory, human adaptation throughout the lifespan, social justice, trauma reactions, and sleep disorders. Broadly, these research programs cover the application of psychological theory and principles to problems faced by individuals and groups within the community. The success of the group is evidenced by the volume of publications in peer reviewed, high impact international journals; success in obtaining competitive grant funding from peak research funding bodies such as the ARC and NH&MRC; PhD completion rates; and the involvement of members in the editorial processes of major journals. The Applied Cognitive Psychology ASRI welcomes enquires about programs of research, opportunities for collaboration, and postgraduate study.
