Aaron Horvath

Aaron Horvath is an Assistant Professor in the Department of General Psychology and Methodology at the Faculty of Humanities, Károli Gáspár Reformed University. He completed his PhD in Psychology at Eötvös Loránd University in 2022 with a dissertation on "Psychological Aspects of Proprioceptive Accuracy," and holds an MA in Psychology from the same institution (2018). In 2024, he also obtained a sports psychology specialist qualification from ELTE/TF.

His research focuses on experimental psychology and sports psychology, particularly investigating proprioception, interoception, and their relationship to motor performance and body awareness. He is an active member of the György Ádám psychophysiology research group and the Bodily sensations and emotions research group.

Horvath's publication record shows consistent productivity from 2018-2025, with a particularly strong output in recent years. His work primarily examines how psychological factors influence sensory perception and motor control, with applications in sports performance and clinical settings. The research demonstrates methodological sophistication through multichannel investigations of proprioceptive processes.
