Some of their recent papers are:

  • The Factor Structure of Cognitive Functioning in Cognitively Healthy Participants: a Meta-Analysis and Meta-Analysis of Individual Participant Data (2020, Neuropsychology Review)
  • Development and socialization of self-regulation from infancy to adolescence: A meta-review differentiating between self-regulatory abilities, goals, and motivation (2023, Developmental Review)
  • Uncertainty-driven regulation of learning and exploration in adolescents: A computational account (2020, PLoS Computational Biology)
  • Individual differences in adolescents' willingness to invest cognitive effort: Relation to need for cognition, motivation and cognitive capacity (2020, Cognitive Development)
