Biography

Alexandra Hering is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Developmental Psychology at Tilburg University. She previously worked at the University of Geneva as a lecturer and research group leader. She studied Psychology at Technische Universität Dresden, Germany, and obtained her PhD from Geneva. Alexandra has spent six months at the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, Canada. Her research interests focus on lifespan development and goal-directed behavior, particularly how these are influenced by cognitive functions such as working memory, as well as contextual factors like emotions and mood. She aims to understand how goal-directed behaviors change from childhood to older age and how cognitive training can promote these behaviors to counteract age-related challenges. Her research utilizes a combination of behavioral and electrophysiological measures, including EEG, to explore the brain mechanisms underlying these behaviors.
