Farina Lingstädt, MSc

Research Interests

Overall, my research focuses on interactions of perception and working memory. I am investigating color working memory and color perception, as well as categorization, in jackdaws (Corvus monedula). In pigeons (Columba livia) I am investigating how the saliency of a context stimulus influences extinction learning.
