Our research sheds light on memory processes in a variety of everyday contexts. For example, how do we remember to take a medication or keep an appointment (prospective memory); why do certain memories, words or tunes pop into our mind unexpectedly (involuntary memories) or repeatedly (intrusive memories); or how do we remember emotionally arousing and significant events (flashbulb memories)? We also study the developmental aspects of these memory processes in children and old age, as well as their manifestation in various clinical conditions (e.g., mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, depression).
