Implicit learning and the relationship between consciousness and control

The so-called “frontal” syndrom

Cognitive aging and cognitive development

Paradigms: Sequence learning, AX-CPT, task switching

Tasks: Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Hayling Test, Stroop test and others

Currently, I am working on control, working memory and development with Valérie CAMOS (LEAD, France)

I am also involved in a research on control and random number generation during sequence learning with Michal WIERZCHON (Jagiellonian University, Poland)
