With my background in Psychology, I am fascinated by human memory. My interests include autobiographical and collective memory, social and cultural influences, and the flexibility of episodic memory. In my Master's Thesis, I investigated the role of social factors in associative inference, a process that requires recombining separate episodes with each other. My current PhD work is concerned with factors that influence an episode's susceptibility to change, as well as the role of prediction errors in the process of memory updating.

About the research unit

The research unit FOR 2812 "Constructing scenarios of the past: A new framework in episodic memory" is a project funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG). The research unit studies the cognitive and neuronal mechanisms underlying scenario construction in episodic memory. We employ and integrate approaches from Philosophy, Psychology, and Experimental and Computational Neuroscience.
