Biography
Dr. John Everett Marsh is currently working as a Guild Research Fellow in Psychology. Dr. Marsh's research is mainly focused on the accuracy and fluency of memory retrieval and the modulation of recall and recognition performance by distraction and task interruption. Although the majority of his research is behavioural, Dr. Marsh has begun to explore brain mechanisms of distraction. Along with Dr. Lea Pilgrim, Dr. Marsh was granted funds to set up B.I.L (Brain Imaging Laboratory) at the University of Central Lancashire. The facility is primarily teaching focused but will also be used for research. Following a research visit from Dr. Tom Campbell, Dr. Marsh, Dr. Lea Pilgrim, and Dr. Phil Beaman are in the preparatory stages of addressing how the brain responds to different varieties of auditory distraction. Dr. Marsh is also researching how distraction may be used as a tool to infer the structure of semantic knowledge and the specialisation of hemispheric function in language processing (with Dr. Colleen Crangle and Dr. Dan Veksler).
