Our research profile encompasses both basic and applied research on learning and developmental processes.

We examine psychological processes of learning and development both in the moment when they occur and as long-term developmental pathways in adolescence and young adulthood. We also look at the impacts of meso- and macro-level contexts such as teachers, parents, and institutional structures.

Our applied research focuses on intervention strategies. This includes the evidence-based development of digital learning designs, the development of process-diagnostic instruments as a basis for individualized learning and adaptive teaching, and the evaluation of interventions for vocational orientation in adolescence.
