Max-Planck-Institute for Human Development - Emmy Noether Gruppe RAVEN
The RAVEN group studies how changes in early foundational memory abilities and translate to children’s real-world memory capacities from age 4 to age 10. By connecting lab findings to real-world memories, we hope to better understand how children build lasting memories that shape their sense of identity and structure their knowledge of the world.
