Research Interest
Her research interests are in the study of memory according to the framework of cognitive neuropsychology. My work has three major axes. A first examines the effect of focal brain lesions on the components of the working memory in order to better understand the organization. I am also interested in the study of mnemic functioning in other pathologies (eg: autism, callosotomies). A second part of my work aims to characterize the problem of working memory in Alzheimer's dementia. In this context, I am also interested in the mnemic decline of normal elderly subjects. This project will allow the possible identification of memory tasks that can help to distinguish Alzheimer's dementia from normal aging. Finally, Areas of expertise neuropsychology Cognitive intervention Memory Alzheimer's disease Normal aging Work memory Assessment tools Cognitive neuroscience
