Fredrik Jönsson serves as Professor and Head of Department at the Department of Psychology, Stockholm University. He completed his doctoral thesis at Uppsala University in 2005 and conducted his postdoctoral work at Stockholm University, where he has remained as faculty. His academic career spans teaching and leadership across all educational levels from undergraduate to PhD programs. His research focuses on memory, learning, and metacognition, with particular interest in how people make metacognitive judgments, monitor learning accuracy, and regulate study behaviors. His work examines the testing effect (memory benefits from testing versus restudying), olfactory memory across timeframes, and the relationship between memory testing and metacognitive awareness. His research program includes three major ongoing projects: investigating societal attitudes toward neurodiversity and mental health impacts, studying work-related mental illness among adults with ADHD, and examining autobiographical memories in older adults. Jönsson leads the Memory and Metacognition Lab at Stockholm University, where his team explores fundamental questions about how humans learn and monitor their learning processes. His publication record demonstrates consistent output across cognitive psychology subfields, with recent work spanning eyewitness testimony accuracy, fatigue effects on cognitive performance, gender differences in memory, and innovative approaches to stress management for working adults with ADHD. His research bridges theoretical cognitive psychology with practical applications in education, clinical settings, and legal contexts. As a dedicated educator, Jönsson has taught diverse courses including psychological testing, perception, introductory psychology, cognitive psychology, metacognition, and degree projects. His leadership extends beyond teaching to departmental administration as Head of Department, where he oversees the academic and operational functions of Stockholm University's Department of Psychology.
