| Research interests: |
I am interested in exploring prospective memory, defined as the ability to formulate intentions, plans and promises, to retain them, to recollect and carry them out at the appropriate time or in the appropriate context. I am interested in exploring this ability across the adult lifespan as well as its functioning in healthy and mentally ill individuals. |
