Michael W. Eysenck

He graduated from University College London. Soon after, he moved to Birkbeck University of London as an assistant professor, where he completed his doctorate on the von Restorff and salience effects of memory. For many years his research focused on various topics in the field of memory research (e.g., processing levels, sharpness). However, for many years his research was primarily focused on anxiety and cognition (including memory). Most of his studies involved healthy populations, but some dealt with cognitive disorders (including memory disorders) in patients with anxiety. This research was conducted at Birkbeck University of London and Royal Holloway University of London, where he has been a professor of psychology since 1987. However, his research began during his time as a visiting professor at the University of South Florida. He has published 40 books in the field of psychology (many related to human memory), including two research monographs on anxiety and cognition. He has been in Who's Who since 1989.
