Welcome to More About Me, Daniel Voyer!
I was born in Montreal, Canada and did my schooling in French, until I received my Masters degree, in 1987. I have been working in English since then. I am thus fluent in both French and English.
Education
I completed my Bachelor (B. Sc.) and Masters (M. Sc.) degrees at the Universite de Montreal under the supervision of Olga E. Favreau. The title of my Master's thesis was Relation entre le genre, le role sexuel et la performance a un test verbal et a un test verbal (Relation between gender, sex role and performance on a spatial test and a verbal test).
I completed my Ph. D. in Cognition/Perception at the University of Waterloo under the supervision of the late M. P. Bryden (Dr. Bryden passed away in August, 1996). The title of my Ph. D. dissertation was Gender, level of spatial ability, and individual differences in the lateralization of spatial skills.
