Carolien Torenvliet

I am an assistant professor at Brain and Cognition at the department of Psychology. I joined d’Arc as a PhD-student in January 2019 under supervision of prof. dr. Hilde Geurts and dr. Annabeth Groenman. I obtained my Research Master degree in Neuropsychology at the University of Amsterdam in 2018. During this time I expanded my knowledge on cognitive aging and advanced statistical methods. I aim to use this combination of skills during my PhD project.

During my PhD project I focused on cognitive aging in autism spectrum condition. I aimed to understand which components of cognition (e.g. memory, language, planning) might decline differently in autistic adults in comparison to aging in non-autistic adults. After finishing my PhD I became first postdoc in d’Arc after which I became a postdoc at the Radboud University where I focused on cognitive reserve and cognitive intervention.
