John Everett Marsh

I am a Reader in Cognitive Psychology at the University of Lancashire, where I co-direct the Human Factors Laboratory. My research explores how attention and memory are influenced by distraction (e.g., noise, interruptions), with applications ranging from medical alarms to climate decision-making. I have published widely in psychology and interdisciplinary journals, serve on editorial boards including Journal of Cognitive Psychology and Auditory Perception & Cognition, and collaborate with industry and public partners on projects that link cognitive science to real-world challenges.
