Dr Charlotte Field

Charlotte is module leader for the first year 'Introduction to Developmental and Social Psychology' and MSc level 'placement' modules. She has published within the field of ASD and language development. For example, exploring whether children with ASD are delayed acquiring word learning heuristics / biases.

Charlotte began working at the University of Central Lancashire in March 2016, as a Lecturer in Developmental Disorders. Charlotte teaches on various psychology modules across both undergraduate and masters level study and has experience of PhD supervision. Before joining the University of Central Lancashire, Charlotte graduated from the University of Hertfordshire with a BSc (Hons) degree in Psychology, before studying for her MSc in Developmental Psychology and PhD in Psychology at Lancaster University. Her PhD investigated word learning for novel objects in three groups of participants; ‘typically developing’ children, children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and children with other developmental disorders (DD). Her current research is also based in a similar field, investigating gesture processing and understanding of prosody, linguistic cues, sibling aggression and victimisation in ASD.
