Biography

Dr. Charlotte Hall completed her PhD in Forensic and Cognitive Psychology at the University of Lincoln in 2011. Her PhD investigated the potential use of gaze patterns as a measure of detecting sexual preference in forensic populations. Prior to this Charlotte worked as a research assistant on a number of projects, investigating diverse topics including psycholinguistics, child development, emotion, comparative cognition and forensic mental health.

Charlotte joined the CLAHRC in November 2011, working as a cross-theme Research Fellow on CATO and MOSIAC.

Cognitive measures of sexual preference

Research Summary

I am currently working as a Cross-Theme Research Fellow within CLAHRC. My primary role is working on the CATO project.

The Consensus Assessment & Treatment Outcome Measures (CATO) project aims to develop consensus across NHS, Local Authority and voluntary sector service providers and commissioners on the implementation of standardised assessment and outcome measures.

This information will inform local commissioning and help decide whether implementing a consensus assessment and outcome measures across services is clinically and financially viable.

Past Research

My previous research extends across multiple disciplinary fields, but primarily lies in 'applied cognitive psychology'.

My PhD investigated the potential of gaze patterns as a measure to detect sexual preference. As part of this I was particularly interested in how gaze patterns may reflect previously reported differences in sexual arousal and interest in men and women. This research also investigated the link between subjective (i.e., self-report) and objective (gaze patterns) measures of sexual preference. Of primary interest to this research was the extent to which gaze patterns may be sensitive to deviant sexual preferences.

Future Research

I am interested in implementing more objective methods in forensic and clinical psychology. I am particularly interested in the extent to which gaze patterns can reflect the observers personal motivation and intent.
