Research interests

• Evidence based practice in child and adolescent mental health (CAMH), for instance how to use routine outcome monitoring in clinical practice, at CAMH service level, and at national levels of analysis
  
• How people reason about uncertain information - increasingly including applied aspects of how best to explain uncertainty
  
• Individual differences in reasoning, especially explaining the qualitatively different ways that people interpret and think about information
  
• The broader autism spectrum, i.e., characteristics of people who do not necessarily meet clinical criteria for autism spectrum condition (ASC) but who show ASC-like patterns of thinking, feeling, and interaction.

Other Stuff

• I found a closed-form for sequence A016103 in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences and added a new sequence A140961 (with thanks to Vladeta Jovovic, whom I found via A051588, for the interpretation in terms of binary matrices).  I still believe this can be used for psychological stuff... one day I'll get around to following it up properly.
