Author Information

Tilo Strobach finished his doctoral degree at Humboldt University of Berlin. After that, he held postdoc positions at this university and at Ludwig Maximilians University Munich. Currently, Tilo Strobach is full professor for cognitive psychology at the Medical School Hamburg. His research focuses on the analysis of cognitive plasticity as a result of training (e.g., video-game, dual-task, working memory, and task-switching training) and cognitive aging. Furthermore, he aims at specifying the cognitive processing architecture in situations that demand executive functions as well as the perception of complex objects. Julia Karbach completed her PhD on the lifespan plasticity of cognitive development in 2008. She held positions at Saarland University and at Goethe-University Frankfurt. Since 2017, she serves as full professor for Developmental and Educational Psychology at the University of Koblenz-Landau. Her research focuses on neurocognitive development and plasticity across the lifespan. She currently investigates individual differences in executive control training (working memory, inhibition, flexibility) and physical training across a wide range of ages and populations (children, older adults, patients with cognitive impairments).
