Research at the Cognition and Communication division

The Division conducts foundational and applied research on questions concerning human cognition and communication – at the individual, group and organisational levels. This research explores the social and psychological conditions of human- and automated-interaction in today’s digitalised and globalised world.

Some of the salient foci of our researchers are:

Equipping social robots with affective computing capabilities to enable meaningful interaction between humans and robots, with certain applications in mind, including cognitive therapy, education and autonomous vehicles
The language and psychology of influence
The technological mind – both how cognition changes and adapts to an ever-changing technological and digital landscape, and the use of cognitive modelling to develop mind-inspired AI
Communication about, and modelling the consequences of, climate change
Memory of fictional information: how people encode and retrieve memories of, for example, books, movies, and video games, as distinct from memories of real events
Network analyses of behaviour, cognition and the brain, to explain many phenomena that are complex and interlinked - for example, how the brain effectively processes information; identifying linked socio-cognitive factors relating to long-term health and online communication
How digitalisation affects communication and how digital technologies can be used to study communication
Decision-making
Organisational communication
