I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Psychology department of Babes-Bolyai University. My main areas of interest and research are related to the domains of consciousness and implicit cognition (i.e., implicit learning, implicit memory, implicit perception). A relatively recent interest of mine is related to the way in which implicit processes might work differently in the case of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders. I am especially interested in investigating how these potentially altered processes might contribute to the development of some of the social difficulties that are associated with this disorder.
