Christine Eysenck Author

Michael W. Eysenck is Professor Emeritus in Psychology and Honorary Fellow at Royal Holloway University of London. He is also Professor Emeritus at the University of Roehampton. He is the best-selling author of several textbooks including Cognitive Psychology: A Student’s Handbook (8th edition 2020), Fundamentals of Cognition (with Marc Brysbaert, 3rd edition 2018), Memory (with Alan Baddeley and Michael C. Anderson, 3rd edition 2020), and Simply Psychology (5th edition 2021). As a cognitive psychologist, he finds it fascinating to compare human cognition with the achievements (and failures) of AI.

Christine Eysenck, a retired teacher of Psychology, has an enduring curiosity about human behaviour. Twenty-first-century living has raised in us questions about the effectiveness of technology and how developments in AI may contribute to the needs of subsequent generations. As a layman in this area, her uncluttered appraisal of aspects of the literature goes some way in addressing the unresolved issue of how good electronic devices really are in replicating human behaviour.
