Biography
Beatrice G. Kuhlmann studied psychology at the University of Mannheim (Germany) and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (USA). At Greensboro, she was a Graduate Assistant in Dayna R. Touron’s Cognitive Aging Lab and completed her Ph.D. in 2013. The same year, she returned to Germany to resume a postdoctoral position in Ute J. Bayen’s Mathematical and Cognitive Psychology Lab at Heinrich-Heine-University of Düsseldorf. In February 2015, she was appointed Assistant Professor at the University of Mannheim where she set up the Mannheim Cognitive Aging Lab. In 2018, she was awarded funding from the German Research Foundation to establish an Emmy Noether research group on source forgetting in younger and older adults. In 2020, she was promoted to Full Professor of Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Aging at the University of Mannheim. Her research interests lie in promoting our understanding and measurement of memory processes (with a special focus on episodic source memory) and age-related changes therein as well as in metacognitive control of memory via strategies. She employs mathematical cognitive modeling techniques in her research and is Co-PI of the DFG-funded Statistical Modeling in Psychology Research Training Group.
