Biography
Veronika completed her Masters in Developmental Psychology at Utrecht University/The Netherlands in 2006 and then started her PhD research at Loughborough University. She investigated the relationship between cognitive abilities and sports performance in people with intellectual disabilities, for which she developed and tested a computerized cognitive test battery. Her postdoctoral research included studies investigating the association between cognition, well-being and use of new technologies in older people and emotion recognition patterns in people with and without cognitive impairment. Her current projects examine antihypertensive treatment in people with dementia and the development of a falls intervention programme for people with mild cognitive impairment and early stage dementia.
