- Emeritus Professor, La Trobe University
I 'retired' in 2008 after 34 years in the School of Psychological Science at La Trobe University. I retired to write the book: "Understanding The New Statistics: Effect Sizes, Confidence Intervals, and Meta-Analysis" (Routledge, New York, 2012), which was recently released. My main research interest is statistical cognition, which is the empirical study of how people understand--or misunderstand--statistical ideas and presentations of data. I am keen to promote the reform of statistical practices, especially a shift from statistical significance testing to estimation and meta-analysis. I enjoy mountain bike riding, woodworking, word games, and spending time with the grandchildren.
