Learning and decision-making is strongly influenced by social information, particularly across development. Learning from others allows rapid acquisition of new behaviour without taking potential risks of individual trial-and-error learning. The extend to which learning influences new behavior depends also on memory. To understand learning and decision-making processes and their influencing factors across development is central for educational practice. However, the mechanisms underlying these processes are still poorly understood. Here, my research comes into play. The aim of my research is to investigate developmental differences in learning and decision-making processes and their interaction with social information and memory processes. I want to understand these processes in the controlled laboratory session as well as in the applied context of school. To do this, I use a multi-methodological approach that combines experimental psychological methods, behavioral analyses, computational modelling, imaging and electrophysiological measures.
