I am a PhD student working on technologies that foster self-determination and intrinsic motivation to support healthy aging and aging in place.
My research focus on cognitive aging, and how digital tools can help maintain autonomy in everyday life. I explore two complementary approaches: cognitive remediation, aimed at training and preserving cognitive functions such as attention that often decline with aging, both normal and pathological ; and assistive technologies designed to compensate for functions that can no longer be effectively restored.
I am particularly interested in how these technologies can be designed to remain engaging and meaningful for older adults, by supporting motivation and long-term use. I also investigate how they can benefit caregivers and clinicians, by supporting care practices and facilitating the monitoring and management of cognitive decline.
My PhD is funded by the ANR Innovcare project, which aims to develop innovative solutions to promote autonomy and quality of life in aging populations.
Is learning a basic need? Drawing on the Learning Progress Hypothesis and Self-Determination Theory, this post explores the links between intrinsic motivation, perceived learning progress, and well-being, illustrated by some projects from the Flowers AI & CogSci Lab.
