Overview

Pauline Horne is Professor in Child Development and Learning at the School of Psychology, Bangor University.  She is also Director of the Centre for Activity and Eating Research (CAER) at Bangor. With her late colleague Professor Fergus Lowe, she founded, and from 2012-2015, served as a Director of Food Dudes Health Ltd, a social enterprise established to create and deliver behaviour change interventions developed by the Bangor research team to improve children’s health and wellbeing.  She has also served as advisor to the UK and Irish Governments on changing children’s dietary habits, and to the European Commission in setting up the EU School Fruit Scheme for its 27 Member States.  Pauline’s basic and applied research is guided by the principles of behaviour analysis. In collaboration with Professor Fergus Lowe, she has led the development of the Food Dudes Healthy Eating Programmes and Dynamic Dudes Physical Activity Programmes designed to target child obesity and tailored for 3-11 year old children attending primary schools. The Food Dudes programme provided a highly-rated impact case study in the last REF. As a Director of Research for Food Dudes Health, she secured funding, designed and led controlled studies essential for ensuring that the Food Dudes and Dynamic Dudes programmes are underpinned by a strong evidence base.  Throughout her career Pauline has also conducted basic research on children’s food preferences and daily physical activity.  Her other longstanding research interests include the role of naming in children’s psychological development, an interest that led to publication of a target article, which proposed a new behavioural account of the early social determinants of naming (the “Naming Account”; Horne & Lowe, 1996). Predictions of the account were then tested in a series of empirical studies documenting the impacts of naming on young children’s ability to categorise, imitate others, and regulate their own behaviour.

Teaching and Supervision

2.2  Postgraduate Supervision. 

I have supervised 22 PhD students—9 in applied behaviour change and the remainder in basic behaviour analysis/child development; all have been awarded their PhDs, the majority with no revisions, and a few with minor corrections.  I ensure that my postgraduate students develop good research, data analysis, literature search, and time-management skills.  I meet each student weekly to assess progress, set new targets and address any issues that may have arisen.  In the last 5 years, I have also supervised 4 KESS MRes students, all of whom were successful. I have also served as the Chair, or Internal Examiner for numerous PhD Thesis Committees in the School, and have served as External PhD Examiner in other Universities.
