History or background of award
This scholarship has been established to support the Marsden funded research project of Dr Deirdre Brown “Developmental reversals in children’s false memories for experienced events”.
Purpose of award

The successful candidate will be expected to develop their own complementary research focus within the context of the larger research program.
