The lab focuses on the development of emotional systems across the lifespan, with two primary research areas: emotional development in children and adolescents, and emotional processes in older adults affected by neurodegeneration. In the developmental category, the research explores how emotions evolve in young people and their influence on psychological health. In the neurodegeneration category, the lab investigates the decline in the interaction between emotion and cognition in older adults to better understand the impact of neurodegenerative diseases on emotional processing and cognitive functions
