Juliane Scheil

Dr. Juliane Scheil serves as a Scientific Associate at the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the German Social Accident Insurance (IFA) within Technische Universität Dortmund, specializing in Flexible Behavior Control research. Her position falls under the Psychology & Neuroscience department, where she investigates cognitive control mechanisms and executive functions.

Dr. Scheil's research primarily focuses on task switching paradigms, inhibition control, and motor imagery. Her work examines how humans manage competing tasks, with particular attention to n-2 repetition costs, task shielding effects, and the relationship between motor imagery and cognitive control processes. She employs experimental psychology methodologies to investigate executive functions and cognitive flexibility in human performance.

Analysis of her publication record (2013-2024) reveals consistent contributions to understanding cognitive control mechanisms, particularly in task switching scenarios. Her research shows evolution from examining basic task switching phenomena toward investigating more complex interactions between task preparation, inhibition processes, and response selection. The work frequently appears in high-impact cognitive psychology journals including Psychologische Forschung, Acta Psychologica, and Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology.

Dr. Scheil collaborates extensively with Prof. Thomas Kleinsorge and Dr. Boris Liefooghe, establishing herself as a significant contributor to the field of cognitive control research. Her experimental work has provided important insights into how humans manage multiple tasks and inhibit competing responses during cognitive processing.
