Pascal van Gerven (P.W.M.)
Until 2017, my research revolved around cognitive control functions (e.g., selective attention, inhibition, motor preparation), especially in relation to age. Currently, I am exploring three entirely different avenues of research in the field of, especially medical, education: (1) instructional design, (2) student mentoring, and (3) relations between physical (in)activity and cognitive performance.
