Dr McNab’s main research interest is working memory (WM); the ability to hold information in mind for a short time. She uses fMRI and behavioral studies to investigate the limitations of WM, distraction in WM, how aging affects WM and other cognitive functions, and how WM can be improved with cognitive training.

Since her PhD, Fiona McNab completed postdoctoral work at Exeter University, The Karolinska Institute in Sweden, and UCL.
