Because she enjoyed neuropsychology, she returned to Oxford beneath her mentor Freda Newcombe to work at a Neuropsychology Unit in the Radcliffe Infirmay. The careful direction provided by Newcombe steered Bishop towards cases of children with developmental language disorders. This direction launched her career as a developmental neuropsychologist.
