Honoured to have been part of the organizing team at #EUCAS2025! I also presented a poster on our meta-analysis of age differences in Theory of Mind and gave a talk on age and cultural influences on spontaneous perspective taking. Grateful for the inspiring discussions!

The final parallel sessions of #EUCAS2025 explored cognitive and perceptual changes in aging, complemented by a compelling symposium on taking a complex systems perspective on aging—closing with big-picture thinking and fresh approaches.
