George Spanoudis is a Psychology Professor at the Department of Psychology of the University of Cyprus. Previously, he held the position of Lecturer (2006-2010) at the Department . of Psychology of the University of Cyprus Dr. Spanoudis pursued his undergraduate and graduate studies at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, in Psychology, where he also worked as a research associate. He received his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Cyprus. His research and teaching focus on the study of intelligence, cognitive development and language disorders. In particular, he is researching the interaction between basic cognitive mechanisms, higher cognitive abilities, and developmental language disorders, with emphasis on the interplay between cognition and atypical language development. He currently investigates age-related changes in intelligence and language learning disorders using behavioural and event-related potential techniques. He also works on the application of statistical models in psychological data and is particularly interested in structural equation modeling and multivariate data analysis for discrete or categorical data.  He leads or participates in projects funded by both national and European agencies.
