Dr. Elisa Filevich

Elisa Filevich is a Junior Research Group Leader at the Hector Research Institute of Education Sciences and Psychology. She works on motor metacognition, that is how (much) we explicitly represent the way we move our body. At the HIB, she investigates the interplay between metacogntive ability and learning, in particular in the motor domain.
