About me
- Yvonne Brehmer is currently leading an independent research group funded for
5 years by the Max Planck Society, Germany. The group was established at the
Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, Germany, in December
2012, is however, physically located at the Aging Research Center (ARC),
Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm.

Research
- Her research interests include cognitive plasticity and training across the
lifespan and neural correlates of age-related cognitive changes. Yvonne’s
current research line focuses on inter-individual differences in associative
memory in older adults. She investigates why older adults in general seem to
have specific difficulties in remembering associative information (such as
combining a face and a name). Why are some older adults quite good at
remembering associative information while others are not? She is specifically
interested in (a) structural and functional brain correlates, (b) cognitive,
social, and lifestyle factors, and (c) genetic markers accounting for
inter-individual differences in associative memory functioning.
In addition, she is interested in the relation between associative memory and
successful aging: Are older adults with good associative memory performance
more similar to younger adults regarding their performance and brain
structure/function than older adults with clear associative deficits?
