Beatrice G. Kuhlmann is Professor of Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Aging at the University of Mannheim in Germany. Born and raised in Germany, she completed her Ph.D. (awarded in 2013) in cognitive psychology in the United States at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro under the supervision of Dayna R. Touron. In her research, published in over 30 peer-reviewed journal articles and three chapters, she combines behavioral experimental manipulations with cognitive modeling to study the interplay of episodic memory, semantic memory, and metacognition across adult age. Some of her main contributions have been insights on younger and older adults’ use of prior knowledge in source guessing and the identification of encoding strategies improving source memory even in old age. Currently, she leads an Emmy Noether research group on source forgetting funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), which has yielded first insights into the interference-resistance of source memory and the measurement of source memory storage through a novel source recognition test. She has previously received prizes from UNC Greensboro, the Association for Psychological Science (APS), the American Psychological Association (APA), and the Psychonomic Society. She currently serves as Associate Editor for Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications (CR:PI) and is on the editorial board of four international journals. During the Covid-19 pandemic, she established the One World Cognitive Psychology Seminar Series, together with colleagues from Mannheim, and she continues to moderate the discussions of these seminars now that they are organized by the Psychonomic Society.
