Franka Glöckner studied psychology at the University of Konstanz and completed her doctorate there in 2012 in the field of ageing and dementia research.

Research interests

In her research, Franka Glöckner is particularly interested in ageing, including neurocognitive plasticity (focus on memory and cognitive control), mental and neurocognitive disorders, and neuromodulatory and behavioral intervention in older age. Her clinical interests lie in particular in the areas of psychotherapy in older age and dementia research, but also in the effects of (traumatic) stress on mental and neurocognitive health across the lifespan.
