"The old mature age is the one when you are still young, but with much more effort."

(JEAN-LOUIS BARRAULT, French Filmmaker).

The Visual Attention and Working Memory in the Lifespan Lab at UAM aims to study how visual attention and working memory processes develop during childhood and adolescence to adulthood and older age. Understanding typical human development and decline, we will be able to better understand atypical development and atypical decline, to ultimately try to design ways to reduce potential harmful effects on visual cognition.
