Research Interests

Anne Castles is Research Professor of Psychology at the Macquarie Centre for Cognitive Science in Sydney, Australia. She completed her PhD on varieties of developmental dyslexia at Macquarie University in 1993 and was a teaching and research academic in the Department of Psychology at the University of Melbourne from 1994 to 2006. She has a strong research interest in variability within the reading-impaired population, and in the causes of different types of dyslexia, including genetic, perceptual and language factors. She is also interested in the process of normal reading development and in particular in the mechanism by which whole-word recognition skills are acquired by children learning to read. She is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Research in Reading and serves on the editorial boards of Scientific Studies of Reading and the European Journal of Cognitive Psychology.
