Dr Lisa Jonkman (L.M.)
Lisa Jonkman is associate professor in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience and is heading the Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience section since 2009.
Her current research focuses on the topic: Attention, memory and number symbol learning: typical and atypical development.
Younger children and those with attention problems, are known to have problems with resisting distraction from irrelevant information, eventually leading to impulsive behaviour, less efficient information processing and, on the long term, lower academic achievement. The capacity of working memory or executive control has been shown to be an important mediating factor in performance on attention tasks and also plays an important role in learning. In past and current projects the importance of such executive control-working memory-attention relations in typical and atypical development is investigated, with a current focus on the development of mind wandering and emotional control. Another current research line focuses on how young children learn to attach numerical meaning to number symbols. The group uses cross-sectional, longitudinal and training study designs combined with EEG/ERP techniques to identify the processes and brain networks involved in typical and atypical cognitive development, with a current focus on attention and number processing development.
