Anna Levén is an Associate Professor at Linköping University, specializing in cognitive training and its effects on memory in individuals with intellectual disabilities. Her research primarily focuses on prospective memory, cognitive functions in children and adolescents, and the role of executive functions in daily living. She leads the Öglan project, which investigates the efficacy of cognitive training in learning basic arithmetic skills for pupils with intellectual disabilities, utilizing artificial intelligence to provide immediate feedback and reinforcement of correct responses. Preliminary results from her studies indicate positive outcomes from this training approach. Additionally, Levén is involved in the Mastermind project, which explores the impact of training executive functions in similar populations. Recognizing the significance of memory support aids for individuals with intellectual disabilities, she aims to disseminate new insights for psychologists and staff in clinical settings through her teaching and research efforts. Levén lectures on disability research and cognitive sciences, supervising courses and essays in both special needs and mainstream educational environments.
