Research and areas of interests
Text comprehension not only holds many unanswered questions in the field of research, but is also indispensable in many areas of everyday life. I am particularly interested in theory- and evidence-based ways to improve text comprehension in children and adults (especially people with aphasia). In my doctoral thesis I would like to develop and evaluate a therapy concept in which theoretical findings are processed in an application-oriented way. In this way, I would like to create a link between theory and practice and contribute to people with text comprehension impairments being able to better perform reading-related activities in everyday life again. It will be exciting to look at the results in the context of current models.
I remain a big fan of interdisciplinary collaboration and welcome topic-related suggestions and ideas.
