Research interests

 

Life-long learning

  • Development of episodic and prospective memory across the life span
  • Neural correlates of incidental and intentional learning
  • Cognitive and neural mechanisms of feedback-enhanced learning
  • Implications of neurocognitive research for formalized teaching

 

Dynamics of response selection and neurocognitive control across the life span

  • Role of expertise and motivation for regulating cognitive control with limited resources (due to advanced age or neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis or stroke)
  • Micro and macro variations in cognitive control and conflict detection
  • Role of neuronal maturation and declining integrity for cognitive control

 

Converging and Divergent Thinking

  • Individual Differences in convergent and divergent thinking as mediated by Working Memory
  • Neural Correlates of Convergent and Divergent Thinking (EEG oscillations and fNIRS)
  • Impact of Emotional States for Creative Thinking
