Dr. Jonathan Carriere

Associate Professor

Jonathan joined the psychology department in 2015. He completed his doctoral degree at the University of Waterloo in 2010 and has investigated many research topics, including attention and memory failures, mind wandering, fidgeting, and synaesthesia. His current interests revolve around the measurement and manipulation of sustained attention, assessment of cognitive traits, and the long term emotional and health-related consequences and correlates of inattention. He is also always happy to help students with questions they may have about programming (Python, web, E-prime and more), organising studies and analysing data.

Dr. Claude Charpentier

Associate Professor

B.A. (Bishop’s), Ph.D. (Edinburgh)

Claude Charpentier obtained her doctorate in psychology at the University of Edinburgh, with a dissertation on the shared social attitudes and thought patterns associated with radical utilitarians and fellow reformers John Stuart Mill and Alexander Bain. While her research interest is centred in philosophical psychology, her main psychological interests are focused on clinical psychology, ethical thought in psychology, and the psychology of nutrition. As a former social worker, she draws on an extensive experience in counselling children and adults within the child welfare system. She specializes in nineteenth century British philosophical psychology, and her current project is a book length study of philosopher-psychologist Alexander Bain and his Associationist Psychology. In addition to teaching in the department of Psychology, she teaches Philosophy of mind and American pragmatism within the department of Philosophy.

Dr. Charpentier’s Research

Professor Charpentier’s scholarly interest is in philosophical psychology. In philosophy, she works mainly on American pragmatism and on philosophy of mind. She specializes in 19th century British philosophical psychology. Her current project is a book length study of philosopher/psychologist Alexander Bain and his associationist theory of mind.

Emma Green

Assistant Professor

Dr. Suzanne Hood

Associate Professor

Suzanne Hood (PhD Psychology, Concordia University) joined the department as an Assistant Professor in 2015. Fascinated by the brain and human behaviour, Suzanne studies the physiology underlying our body’s internal timekeeping mechanisms that produce circadian rhythms – the predictable 24-hour patterns in our physical, mental, and behavioral activities, like sleeping, eating, hormone release, and cognitive alertness. In particular, Suzanne is interested in studying how our body clock changes across the lifespan, particularly in older adulthood, and how these changes affect health and quality of life. Her research also includes topics related to motivation, drug dependence, and learning. She loves teaching Brain and Behavior, Adult Aging and Development, Learning and Memory, Perception, and Introduction to Psychology at Bishop’s.

Dr. Heather Lawford

Full Professor

B.A (Trent) M.A (Wilfrid Laurier) Ph.D (Concordia)

Heather Lawford joined the Psychology Department in 2012. Her research examines the ways in which youth are able to reach their full potential and make meaningful contributions to their community. She is also interested in a narrative life-story approach to psychology. That is, she seeks to understand how the stories we tell about ourselves shape who we are and who we become. Prior to her arrival at Bishop’s, Heather completed a post-doctoral fellowship through Brock University and the Centre of Excellence in Youth Engagement where she engaged in research projects in collaboration with youth and with community organizations.

Dr. Dale Stout

Full Professor – Department Chairperson

B.Sc. (Calgary), M.Sc. (Calgary), Ph.D. (Edinburgh)

Dr. Stout has been a member of the department since 1987. Presently he is teaching courses in Statistics, History of Psychology and Learning & Memory. Given his background in the history and philosophy of science, his research interests focus on the history of psychology (19th Century British Psychology, Ancient Greek Philosophy/Psychology) and knowledge generating practices (history of statistics and research design). These interests compliment and enrich the perspective from which he teaches his courses. Dr. Stout has been a recipient of the Chancellor’s Teaching Award (2003).

Dr. Stout’s Research

Philosophy

Professor Stout’s research in philosophy deals primarily with topics in the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of science and ancient thought. His published work lies in the area of psychology. But he has made regular presentations to the Philosophy Department – most recently at a conference on Plato’s Meno sponsored by the Bishop’s Plato Group. His current projects include a book length study of philosopher/psychologist James Ward and a set of short stories.

Psychology

  1. Dr. Stout’s most recent interest rests with sorting through Plato’s psychology, and in particular, the way Plato approached learning and memory. Although it is clear that this topic runs through most of the Dialogues, Dr. Stout has been drawn to Plato’s Meno and the demonstration of learning featured in that dialogue with the slave boy.  He presented a paper on this topic to a conference on the Meno held in 2003. Presently Dr. Stout is outlining a larger study that will bring together Plato’s three Dialogues the Gorgias, Protagoras and Meno to clarify Plato’s sense of what it means to learn and to be taught.  Dr. Stout is a long time member of the Plato Group meets every Friday to read through the Dialogues.

    “The Drama of the Double Square: Meno 80a-86d” Paper presented to a conference on Plato’s Meno held at Bishop’s University, 2003.
  2. While doing his Ph.D. at the University of Edinburgh, Dr Stout worked with members of the Science Studies Unit, Dr. Donald Mackenzie in particular. The ‘sociology of knowledge’ perspective of the Science Studies Unit informed Dr. Stout’s early research into the history of statistics. Dr. Stout keeps an active interest in statistics mainly through teaching and helping students and faculty with their research analyses.  Although he has not kept an active research profile in publishing on statistics, he remains involved as a reviewer of publications on statistics.

Boring, T.L. Kelley, and the probable error.”  American Journal of Psychology. 102, pp. 549-562, 1989.
  3. Dr. Stout became interested in the history of psychology while an undergraduate at the University of Calgary, principally due to the influence of Dr. Robert Weyant.  His first serious study of an historical topic was undertaken as a Master’s Thesis, which focused on the 19th Century British Psychologist James Ward. Dr. Stout’s interest in Ward remains to this day. He thinks that Ward was an exemplary thinker, particularly about the nature of science and psychology in the 19th century. Dr. Stout has gathered archival material and notes over the years in an effort to write a book length study of Ward.

March 29, 1996.”James Ward’s Psychology of ‘Feeling’”. Department of Psychology Colloquium Series, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon. February 20, 1996.
  4. As a member of a small department, Dr. Stout is actively involved in the research of other members of the Department as well as with the Honour’s students. This has led to an array of publications on diverse topics. He enjoys the cooperative nature of working in a small department and sharing ideas across the broad field of psychology. Dr. Stout believes that we become informed about the wide spectrum of psychology not simply through reading, but by participating in research.

Dr. Leo G. Standing

Retired Faculty

B.Sc. (Manchester), M.A. (Queen’s), Ph.D. (Queen’s)
FAPS (Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science)

Dr. Standing’s interests are in using controlled experiments to study cognitive and social processes, especially in such areas as short-term memory for pictures and words, perceptual judgement, and psychology of belief. He also enjoys using computers in various ways, especially to access the range of available databases, and teaching about computers as a useful tool. At present he teaches research methods, computers, social psychology, cognition and perception. His research interests are in the areas of cognition, memory, and social psychology.

Dr. Standing’s Research

One area of research interest for Dr. Standing is picture memory: the human capacity to effortlessly process large quantities of pictorial information. The central problem explored is why memory for pictures is so much better than that for visually presented words, even when the same item is represented in each kind of stimulus. Much work to date has explored various aspects of picture memory, but few studies have attempted to explain the reasons for pictorial superiority.

Another line of research for Dr. Standing involves judgments of the concentration of alcohol in drinks. Previous studies had indicated a nonlinear relationship between the actual concentration of a drink and its perceived strength for both alcohol and other tastants. Dr. Standing’s work to date on this matter has indicated a surprising degree of accuracy in people’s judgments of the strength of a drink, higher than is usually found in tasks which require subjects to estimate the strength of solutions by taste. The functions found to date in some cases indicate an exponent of unity (1.0) for alcohol in Stevens’ law. This is a very unusual finding which indicates that neither response compression nor response expansion is occurring, unlike what has been found to happen in many hundreds of other psychophysical tasks. Further, this accuracy appears not be impaired by the presence of masking flavours, but actually increased by them. Again, this does not correspond to the large number of studies done on taste masking in other kinds of solutions. So in two ways, the accuracy of alcohol perception appears to be unusual and should repay further study.
