Rate My Professor Jeremy Marriott

Dr. Jeremy Marriott is a clinical psychologist associated with Curtin University in Perth, Australia. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (Disability Studies), Bachelor of Science in Psychology (Honours), Master of Psychology (Clinical), and Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Psychology, all obtained from Curtin University. During his doctoral program in the School of Psychology and Speech Pathology within the Faculty of Health Sciences, Dr. Marriott conducted pioneering research examining the impact of classical music on arousal levels and self-injurious behaviours in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. This study, which involved physiological measurements of arousal, demonstrated that exposure to specifically selected classical music recordings significantly lowered stress indicators in the participants. Notably, world-renowned pianist David Helfgott contributed by personally selecting and recording the musical pieces used in the experiment, enhancing the project's profile and potential applicability. Dr. Marriott's work built upon over a decade of hands-on experience working with children on the autism spectrum, emphasizing non-pharmacological interventions for anxiety management. His research was presented in academic forums, including discussions on musical treatments for child anxiety in Asperger's disorder.
