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
