Digital media increasingly shape both the amount of information people are confronted withand how they absorb, process, and evaluate it. This also raises important questions about howmemories of ceretain information are formed, how beliefs are shaped, and how to deal withmisinformation. These topics are not only relevant to society, but also play an important role in the context of education.  

My work aims to combine cognitive psychology research with current challenges in educational practice. I want to make scientific findings accessible and usable in the schoolcontext. In my work in the field of transfer and professionalization, I focus in particular on thequestion of how scientific findings on media literacy, social media, and misinformation can betranslated into practice for teachers and education experts. My goal is to make scientificfindings accessible in such a way that they can contribute to the long-term strengthening ofschools and teaching.
