Member of the former Junior Research Group Neuro-cognitive Plasticity
Since August 2014, Tanja Dackermann has been a research assistant at the IWM. In her research she focuses on numerical cognition. Relevant topics are the basics of numerical development in children as well as the development and implementation of embodied and media-supported training programs to help foster childrens’ basic numerical competencies. Furthermore, she is interested in the diagnostic of cognitive performance measures, for example, to assess mathematical learning difficulties.
Tanja Dackermann studied Psychology (Diploma) at the Justus Liebig University Gießen and the University of Tübingen. From 2011 to 2014 she was scholarship holder of the Cooperative Research Training Group of the University of Education, Ludwigsburg, and the University of Tübingen, funded by the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts in Baden-Württemberg. In her dissertation project she investigated the spatial representation of number magnitude, its development and how it can be supported by the use of embodied numerical trainings.
