RESEARCH INTERESTS

Sequence/statistical learning: Exploration of how humans form associations, the role of model-free and model-based processes in learning, relationship with executive functions

Implicit learning and memory: Exploration of normal functioning, age-related changes in learning, how the acquired information stabilizes over time (consolidation), the role of explicit instructions in learning and memory

Fronto-striatal circuits: The role of fronto-striatal circuits in cognition, their contribution to executive functions, working memory and statistical/sequence learning

Boosting learning and memory performance: Testing how various behavioral and neuroscience methods (e.g., non-invasive brain stimulation) can improve learning performance and behavior change
