Neurocognitive Psychology at the University of Trier: Team
Group picture July 4th, 2022
Dr. Siri-Maria Kamp
Dr. Siri-Maria Kamp is an assistant professor ("Juniorprofessorin") at the University of Trier. She is fascinated by human neurocognition, with a particular interest in memory. Dr. Kamp has years of experience in research on the basic, neurocognitive mechanisms of memory and related cognitive functions, and changes therein through contextual factors like affect and throughout the lifespan. In this research, she uses various methods from experimental psychology (experimental manipulations; memory modeling) and neuroscience (EEG/event-related potentials).
More recently, she became more strongly engaged in efforts to transfer knowledge from basic memory research to clinical practice. In the context of these efforts, she has developed a research and teaching collaboration with the Median Rehabilitation Centre in Bernkastel-Kues (Germany), in the context of which she works and conducts research with patients with acquired brain injuries and neurological diseases.
