Thomas Wilschut

Welcome to my website. I am a PhD student in cognitive science at the University of Groningen, and a Senior Researcher at MemoryLab Health. Human learning and forgetting are fields that trigger my interest in particular. In my PhD project, which is supervised by Hedderik van Rijn and Florian Sense, I am examining ways to apply and improve cognitive models of memory retrieval that are used in adaptive fact learning systems in educational settings (in collaboration with MemoryLab). At MemoryLab Health, I work on the application of the same memory models for the assessment and monitoring of memory function in clinical contexts.  You can read more about my research projects here.

Next to my interests in cognitive science research, I am interested in philosophy of cognitive science and in the communication of science to the general public.
