Research Groups

Cognitive Engineering Research Group

The Cognitive Engineering Research Group is a group of researchers interested in the modeling, analysis, design and evaluation of complex safety-critical systems such as power plant control rooms, cockpits, critical care in medicine, and defence systems. CERG is associated with the Key Centre for Human Factors and Applied Cognitive Psychology and also with the School of ITEE. CERG's research is hosted by the UQ Usability Laboratory (UQUL) in the McElwain Building.

Online Anxiety Prevention Program

The Online Anxiety Prevention Program aims to help prevent anxiety problems in those prone to develop them. It is not intended as a treatment for anxiety disorders.

The Positive Parenting Program (Triple P)

The Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) is a multi-level model of family intervention for the prevention and treatment of behaviour problems in children. Information on the Parenting and Family Support Centre and on training and accreditation for the Triple P program is given.

Early Cognitive Development Unit

At the Early Cognitive Development Unit we study infants up until the age of 2-years, to gain a better understanding of their mental abilities. Specifically, we are interested in what they know about feelings, intentions, and desires of both themselves and others. The Early Cognitive Development Unit also studies when toddlers and young children begin to understand that one thing can lead to another. For example, that a map or a picture is a representation of reality.

Psychological Aspects of Ageing Research Cluster

Several researchers, clinicians and students in the School of Psychology have occasional or on-going studies into psychological aspects of ageing. For those in the Queensland area interested in joining other individuals with similar research and clinical interests, the Queensland Psychology of Ageing Interest Group holds monthly meetings on the St. Lucia and Herston Medical School Campuses. Persons interested in ageing research at UQ more broadly should visit the Centre for Human Ageing website for the latest news and research information.
