Dr. Karin M. Bausenhart is a researcher in the Cognition and Perception research group within the Department of Psychology at the Faculty of Science, University of Tübingen. She has been working as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant since 2011 and currently serves as Project Coordinator for the DFG Research Unit "Modal and Amodal Cognition" (FOR 2718) since 2020. Dr. Bausenhart received her PhD in Psychology from the University of Tübingen in 2009, following her Masters degree (Diplom) in Psychology from the same institution in 1999. Her research focuses on several key areas in cognitive psychology and time perception. She investigates how distance affects mental representations, examining whether we think differently about events in the present versus those in the future or distant locations. She also studies mechanisms of stimulus discrimination, particularly how the order of stimuli presentation affects our ability to compare them, with a focus on the concept of a dynamically updated internal reference. Another major area of her work explores how temporal information from different sensory modalities is processed and combined to form a coherent perception of time, despite the absence of a dedicated sensory system for time processing. Additionally, she researches temporal preparation - how warning signals can improve reaction times - and dual-task processing limitations. Dr. Bausenhart's publication record reveals a consistent focus on time perception, multisensory integration, and cognitive mechanisms. Her work often employs experimental psychology methods to investigate fundamental questions about how humans process temporal information across different contexts and sensory modalities. A significant portion of her research examines order effects in stimulus discrimination, suggesting these effects may stem from an internal reference that dynamically updates during experimental tasks. Her recent work has expanded into examining how mental representation varies with psychological distance, connecting temporal cognition with broader cognitive frameworks. Third price at the dissertation contest of the German Psychological Society (DGPS), section Cognitive Psychology (2011) Dissertation Award of the Faculty of Science, University of Tübingen (2010) Dr. Bausenhart has secured multiple research grants from the German Research Foundation (DFG), demonstrating the significance of her work in the field. Her projects have investigated mechanisms of stimulus discrimination, temporal ventriloquism effects, and interferences in stimulus classification. These grants have supported her research from 2010 through 2020, indicating sustained recognition of her scientific contributions. As part of the Cognition and Perception research group, Dr. Bausenhart collaborates with colleagues studying modal and amodal cognition. Her current role as Project Coordinator for the DFG Research Unit "Modal and Amodal Cognition" places her at the center of a significant interdisciplinary effort examining how cognitive processes function both within specific sensory modalities and across modalities.
