 that control our thoughts and actions and their role in driving healthy ps
 ychological development. I will present ongoing work on two such processes
 \, namely cognitive control and control beliefs. \n\nIn the first part I w
 ill show data from a recently completed randomized control trial aiming to
  improve cognitive control in 235 6-11 year old children showing no effect
 s across a host of behavioural and neural outcomes. \n\nIn the second half
  I will present more recent work on control beliefs and their relationship
  with stress. I will present on (i) the buffering effects of heightened co
 ntrol beliefs against later stress and (ii) how control beliefs shape adap
 tive responding to stress. \n\nI will discuss these findings in line with 
 recent frameworks characterising control as a highly rational and dynamic 
 process and outline implications for interventions.     \n\n*Speaker Bio:*
 \n\nI obtained my PhD (on the neuroscience of music) in 2008 from the Max-
 Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences. I then did a post
 doc at the University of Zurich and became a group leader back the Max-Pla
 nck Institute\, starting my work on developmental social neuroscience. \n\
 nIn 2015 I joined the department of developmental psychology at the Univer
 sity of Leiden as an Assistant Professor and in 2017 moved to UCL's Divisi
 on of Psychology and Language Sciences as an Associate Professor and becam
 e Full Professor of Developmental Neuroscience there in 2021. \n\nMy work 
 has been funded through various fellowships (Jacobs Foundation\, Humboldt 
 Foundation\, German-Israeli Foundation) and funding bodies (the German Res
 earch Foundation\, ERC\, ESRC\, MRC).
