Hannah Broadbent
Research Interests:
I am currently in the final year of a Ph.D. at the Institute of Education. My research focuses on the use of 3D virtual environments to examine the development of spatial mental representations in both typically-developing children and individuals with Williams Syndrome (WS). Specifically, I am interested in development of the use of different spatial frames of reference in these groups, and how this relates to the use of different navigational strategies and the development of ‘cognitive-map’ knowledge (an understanding of spatial relationships within an environment). In addition to this, my research examines the relationships between the deleted genes in WS and the resulting cognitive profile typically seen in the disorder, by studying individuals with partial genetic deletions within the WS critical region on chromosome 7.
In general, I am interested in both typical and atypical brain development, with a particular interest in neurocognitive abilities such as visuospatial and language skills. Although my current research focus is on Williams syndrome, my previous research has also examined developmental and neurocognitive difficulties in individuals with ASD, benign epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes, and individuals with eating disorders.
