Age-related differences in the representation of state spaces (2024-2027)

Project Lead: Prof. Ben Eppinger  

Research Assistant: Ezgi Uzun

The research project aims at testing the core behavioral and cognitive neuroscientific predictions of the diminished state space theory. Additionally, another primary objective is to examine if the diminished state space theory of human aging is applicable to various cognitive domains.

LDMLab

Project Lead: Prof. Ben Eppinger

The aim of LDMLab is to investigate whether children and older adults differ from younger adults in how they update their beliefs in uncertain and changing environments. The aim is to develop mechanistic, neurobiologically plausible theories of lifelong age differences in adaptive learning. The project involves collaborations with Rasmus Bruckner (FU Berlin) and Dr. Matthew Nassar (Brown University) and is supported by the Canada Research Chair (CRC).
