RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research focuses on mechanisms and modulators of goal-directed behavior. I am particularly interested in prospective remembering, intention deactivation, shielding and shifting of intentions, and effects of acute and chronic stress on cognitive functions. Currently, I investigate whether we can manipulate the balance between stable shielding of task goals and flexible switching between them, and aim to specify the micro-structure and sub-processes of intention retrieval in prospective memory.
