Her principal interests were in the cognitive development of infants and young children, and the adjustment of children and their families to disability. At the University of Western Australia she was instrumental in developing landmark postgraduate diploma courses in child, educational and clinical psychology. Moving to Victoria she continued to promote more enlightened attitudes in mental health, and advances in child psychology and parent education. Morey developed assessment techniques to determine the potential of disabled children. She was largely responsible for the foundation of Rossbourne House, Hawthorn, a school for slow-learning children, and the Monash Child Study Centre which was named after her. Morey served as Honorary Psychologist to many hospitals, societies and institutions. 1935 1935 Education - BA (Hons), University of Melbourne 1936 1936 Education - DipEd, University of Melbourne 1939 1939 Education - Master of Arts (MA), University of Melbourne 1940 1940 Education - BEd, University of Melbourne 1941 1945 Career position - Research Assistant, Australian Council for Education Research 1947 1947 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of California at Berkeley, U.S.A. 1947 1948 Career position - Lecturer, University of California 1948 1957 Career position - Lecturer, Department of Psychology, University of Western Australia 1954 1954 Career position - Australian Representative, Mental Health in Childhood Seminar, World Federation of Mental Health, Toronto, Canada 1957 1961 Career position - Lecturer, Department of Psychology, University of Melbourne 1960 1960 Career position - Australian Representative, UNESCO Expert Committee on Child Research, International Institute of Child Study, Bangkok 1961 1965 Career position - Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Education, Monash University 1965 1968 Career position - Associate Professor, Faculty of Education, Monash University Monash University (1958 - )
