Josie Briscoe is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Bristol, focusing on the interface of memory and language skills in children's cognitive development, particularly in atypical language development and communication. Her research delves into identifying heritable phenotypes of semantic cognition through familial studies and molecular genetics approaches. Projects spearheaded by Briscoe include the investigation of cognitive and perceptual elements in self-identity associated with language disorders, such as the influence of face-voice associations on symbolic benefits for children's language acquisition. Additionally, she collaborates on research projects aimed at understanding misinformation effects on memory via functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) techniques. Briscoe's work seeks to illuminate the biological underpinnings of cognitive processes, with a long-standing interest in how children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders construct self-reference through language.
