Cognition and Perception

Team

Dr. Donna Bryce
Group Leader

Donna Bryce is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Augsburg and was previously a Margarete von Wrangell Fellow in the Department of Psychology, University of Tübingen. Donna is fascinated by how we learn to monitor and control our own behaviour to achieve our goals and takes a multi-method approach to addressing this research question. Her long-term goal is to build on findings from developmental cognitive psychology to best support children’s self-regulated learning in the classroom and at home. Outside of work, Donna enjoys building wooden train tracks with her kids, and being by the sea.

Hannah Kaiser
Research assistant and Master's student

Hannah graduated and is currently studying Psychology at the University of Tübingen. She is interested in cognitive control and neuroscience. She likes it most of all when it rains, because then she can sit cosily and read a book, or go for a walk in the rain with her hood up and enjoy a podcast.

Sarah Gläser
Research assistant and Bachelor student

Sarah is currently studying her bachelor's degree in Psychology and joined the team because she enjoys working with children. She likes doing yoga, other sports and sitting in the kitchen with her many roommates to chat about the world, life and everything in between.
