Dr Mark Kohler

Senior Lecturer

Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.

My research focuses on cognitive and behavioural development and psychophysiology. I have specific expertise in the areas of child sleep and cognition, sleep disorders, memory and learning, and more recently in nature-based learning and the benefits of nature engagement amongst children. I began my current position in 2018, after working as Senior Lecturer and Program Director for Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of South Australia since 2010. Prior to this I completed a post-doctoral research position in Paediatrics and the University of Adelaide.

My research has a specific focus on child sleep and cognition, sleep disorders, learning and memory, child engagement with nature, as well as a broader interest in the interaction of child health, lifestyle factors and well-being. In 2022 I established the Wellbeing in Learning and Development laboratory (WiLDlab). I am a current member of the Environment Institute at the University of Adelaide, and work closely with Resilient Youth Australia and the Jane Goodall Institute Australia.

Honours projects available in 2022 include:

Investigating predictors of child well-being, learning engagement and health in the community. Various topics available.
Assessing the relationship between nature-based school learning and child well-being, learning engagement, environmental attitudes and nature connectedness.
Investigating relationships between adult health and well-being, nature engagement, and environmental attitudes. Various topics available.
Perceptions of naturalness in children. Development of a child-based tool to assess perceptions and preferences for naturalness.

I am currently not taking additional PhD students in 2022. More generally I supervise projects in the areas of child sleep, memory and learning development, nature-based learning, and the impact of the natural environment on cognition and well-being. See the WiLDlab website for more information on current projects
