Research interests
I am interested in memory and learning processes in children and adolescents, especially the impact of sleep and pain on memory processes. My research focuses on 3 areas of cognitive psychology, neuroscience and education:
(1) Sleep and memory consolidation in children and adolescents
(2) Sleep-wake rhythms, learning and sleep education in children and adolescents (see the international conference of the Conseil Scientifique de l'Education Nationale - March 23, 2022)
(3) Memory functioning in natural environments and inclusion
