Main lines of research

The main lines of research in the group focus on investigating various aspects of memory and language, such as how they are acquired, processed, and represented in the human mind.

Inhibitory control of memory

The general aim of this line is to study the properties of inhibition as a mechanism that helps in selecting memory traces of different nature.
Learn more

Language selection and cognitive control in bilinguals

This line explores the organization of the bilingual lexical system and the importance of executive control mechanisms for controlling language processing in bilinguals.
Learn more

Numerical Cognition

In this line of research, we aim to learn the way people represent and process numerical information (magnitude, arithmetic facts, etc.) in adulthood and during development.
Learn more

Individual differences in memory and language

We study the role of cognitive control in memory and language by exploring individual differences (e.g. inhibitory deficits in aging, childhood, and across development, clinical populations, language experience, etc.).
