Main Focus
Memory development in childhood.
Projects
I am currently involved in four overlapping lines of research:
- Developing and validating measures of autobiographical memory
- Analysing children's brain activity (fMRI) for recent and remote autobiographical experiences
- Investigating how physical activity relates to memory development
- Computational modeling of memory processes
