معرفی
Fabienne COLOMBEL serves as Professor of Cognitive Psychology and Director of the Faculty of Psychology at University of Nantes, France. She maintains active research affiliations with the Laboratoire de Psychologie des Pays de la Loire (UR 4638), where she leads investigations into cognitive aging processes.
Her research program centers on memory mechanisms across the lifespan, with dual emphases on normal aging and pathological conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Key investigations examine false memory production using DRM paradigms, emotion-cognition interactions, and developmental aspects of ADHD-related cognitive profiles. Recent work explores how education level moderates stereotype threat effects on memory distortion in elders and implements methodological innovations like equivalence testing for misinformation studies.
Professor Colombel demonstrates consistent high-impact publication output, with multiple 2023 articles under press and three 2021 publications in Q1 journals including Experimental Aging Research and Frontiers in Psychology. Her work shows increasing methodological sophistication while maintaining focus on core questions about memory distortion mechanisms across different populations.
She directs research activities within the Laboratoire de Psychologie des Pays de la Loire, which provides specialized facilities for cognitive testing and experimental memory research. The lab supports investigations spanning healthy aging, neurodegenerative conditions, and developmental psychology, fostering interdisciplinary approaches to cognitive science questions.
