Research interests

  • The development and determinants of metacognitive monitoring.
  • Cognitive control and conflict adaptation.
  • Executive functions (inhibitory control, working memory, task-switching).
  • Supporting self-regulated learning.
  • Introspective limitations under attentionally demanding contexts (multitasking).

Research projekts

  • Learning Games: Do I always play the same? Principal investigators: Dr. Janina Eberhart and Dr. Donna Bryce. Funded by an intramural grant from the LEAD Research Network.
