MSc Tobias Kühlwein

Tobias Kühlwein
Teaching and Research Assistant

Tobias Kühlwein has been a PhD student and teaching assistant since 2023. His research focuses on prospective memory (memory for future intentions) and the question of whether prospective memory shares common cognitive resources with working memory (the ability to temporarily maintain and manipulate information).

In teaching, he has been involved in M08: Experimental Practice as well as M09: General Psychology II: Learning and Memory in the German bachelor’s programme, as well as VG1: Cognitive Neuroscience in the German Master’s programme in Psychology.

He completed his Master of Science in Psychology at the University of Darmstadt in Germany.

Research focus

His research focuses on prospective memory (memory for future intentions) and the question of whether prospective memory shares common cognitive resources with working memory (the ability to temporarily maintain and manipulate information).

For this, he uses experiments built in lab.js to collect behavioural data from participants, which can provide information about the research question mentioned above.

He is further interested in methodological approaches and good research practice.
