Tim Shallice

Tim Shallice is a person who studies how our brains work to help us do things like making decisions, remembering things or playing games. Sometimes, when people get hurt or sick, it affects the way their brains work and they might have trouble doing these things.

So, Tim Shallice tries to figure out what has changed in their brains and how we can help them get better. He uses special tests to see how well people can remember things or concentrate on tasks, and then he tries to find ways to help them improve. Like how a teacher helps you learn new things in school.

So, Tim Shallice is like a brain doctor who helps people who are having trouble with their memory or paying attention. He makes things easier for them to understand, like how a parent or teacher helps a small child learn new things.
