I am Professor of Cognitive Psychology in the School of Psychology at the University of Dundee, Scotland. These pages contain information about my work and books.

ABOUT ME. See here for more background information about me. See my research page for information about my psychology research, including work on language, ageing, and the weather. See here also for more information about my media appearances and what I can offer.

PSYCHOLOGY BOOKS. I’m author of the text The psychology of language (now in its 3rd edition, 2008) and Talking the talk: Language, psychology and science (published in December 2009). I am editor of two series of books on the psychology of language. See this page for more about my psychology books.

COGNITION. See this page for the story of writing my book on cognitive psychology for a wider audience. It’s coming along - very slowly.

NOVEL. Everyone thinks they have a novel in them, and I’m no exception. See here for information about Dirty old rascal, now published in paperback at last. Who is the dirty old rascal? (Don’t worry, it’s not porn.) Don’t take my word for it, read the reviews on Amazon.

PHOTOGRAPHS. Read here about my quest for the perfect abstract landscape and how to buy my photographs.

WEATHER. See here for links to my (I am told) famous site on the weather of Britain, with information about British severe weather events. Want to know what happened in the weather in a particular month? Which are the hottest and coldest summers and winters on record? These pages also present a summary of my own amateur weather observations from the Sidlaw Hills near Dundee.

BLOG. You know what a blog is. You can subscribe to mine. My blog is loosely about language, applying critical thinking and cognitive psychology to the real world, being an academic, increasing self awareness, liberal politics, and all my work. There are links to my favourite other blogs here, too.

WEB DESIGN. I built this site in Apple iWeb and maintain it myself. Please email me at trevor.harley@mac.com if you experience any difficulties or have any suggestions as to how it could be improved.
