Gouldthorp has supervised multiple doctoral and honours theses at Murdoch University, including works on working memory and reading comprehension (J. Taylor, 2017), the effects of gestures and pictures on word acquisition (G.B.C. Chan, 2014), increasing physical activity levels in primary school children (C. Price, 2015), executive functioning in cannabis users (K. Highet, 2015), and top-down modulation in task learning (R. Cooper, 2014). Her key publications encompass 'An ERP study of hemispheric differences in perceptual representations of language reveals meaning attribution in the right hemisphere and constituents of the N400-effect' (2021, co-authored with A.G. Male), 'A randomized controlled trial examining the impact of individual trauma-focused therapy for individuals receiving group treatment for depression' (2021, co-authored with S. Dominguez et al.), 'An Investigation of the Role of Sequencing in Children's Reading Comprehension' (2018), 'Positioning the reader: the effect of narrative point-of-view and familiarity of experience on situation model construction' (2016, co-authored with M. Mulcahy), 'Online Academic-Integrity Mastery Training May Improve Students' Awareness of, and Attitudes Toward, Plagiarism' (2013, co-authored with G.J. Curtis et al.), 'Message-level processing of contextual information in the right cerebral hemisphere' (2009), and 'The sensitivity of the right hemisphere to contextual information in sentences' (2009). These contributions, cited over 170 times, have advanced understanding of cognitive mechanisms in language and reading. She also co-authored a Cochrane review protocol on EEG neurofeedback for executive functions in children with neurodevelopmental challenges (2017).
