Overview
BounCes - Boundary Conditions of Conceptual Spaces
Projects
This project, in collaboration with the University Paris Cité and the University of Potsdam, investigates how we represent conceptual knowledge. We examine how boundary conditions during acquisition and performance in numerical cognition shape this representation, using neural (fMRI) and behavioural (eye- and motion- tracking, behavioural performance) measures in children and adults. Our work informs best teaching practice for children and adults to acquire and integrate new information and update conceptual knowledge.
As a doctoral student, I investigated the underlying mechanisms of a visual illusion, called the Motion Silencing Effect, using behavioural and multivariate MEG decoding measures.
