Developmental Psychology - Ariadne Brandt

Ariadne Brandt started working in the Department for Developmental Psychology as academic staff and PhD student in 2021. She currently contributes to the DFG-funded FOR 5034 project based on the PIER study (Potsdamer Internale Entwicklungs-Risiken-Studie) by investigating the individual profiles and developmental trajectories of executive functions as a facet of self-regulation during intermediate childhood and adolescence. Furthermore, she is exploring the association between such executive functions and social information processing as well as theory of mind.

Ariadne studied psychology at the University of Birmingham, England (B.Sc.) and at the University of Potsdam (M.Sc.). During her studies, she worked for the STRATIFY study as part of the Mind and Brain research group at the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin (Prof. Dr. Henrik Walter), where she also wrote her thesis on affective bias and internalising symptoms during adolescence.
