• Flexible problem solving and mnemonic conflicts in children between 12 months and 7 years of age

• I will be EXPERT! 2- to 4-year-olds’ ability to flexibly use knowledge from one situation to another
• THE SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE HYPOTHESIS AND THE EPISODIC MEMORY SYSTEM – the role of memories in the social skills of cognitively complex animals

I have a keen interest in comparative and developmental psychology. What interests me most, is how animals and people use memories of the past to act in the present. So far, I have worked with rats, cats, ravens, great apes, Goffin's cockatoos and people, both children and adults, but I am always open to new challenges. Right now, I am working with young children to understand how they use memory in everyday situations.
