How do autistic people process, store and use information? This research focuses on implicit learning, episodic memory, and procedural and declarative memory systems. It explores how these processes shape understanding and learning, connecting cognitive research with everyday experiences in education and other settings where clear communication matters.

Understanding your legal rights depends on how they are communicated. This project examines how autistic and non-autistic adults understand the UK Police Caution and whether changing its delivery makes that information more accessible.
