Dirk Vorberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dirk Vorberg (born July 5, 1942 in Stettin ) is a German psychologist who worked as a professor of mathematical and general psychology .

Life

He studied psychology at the Universities of Marburg and Hamburg , and received his doctorate in 1970 from the Technical University of Darmstadt . From 1970 to 1983 he worked at the University of Konstanz , first as a research assistant, and from 1975 on as a professor of experimental and mathematical psychology. In 1983 he accepted a professorship for General Psychology at the University of Marburg; from 1990 to 2007 he worked at the Technical University of Braunschweig . Since 2008 he has been visiting professor at the Westphalian Wilhelms University in Münster .

From 1972 to 1973, Vorberg was a post-doc at New York University and Rockefeller University . He was a visiting researcher at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey from 1979 to 1980, at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics from 1988 to 1989 , at the University of Potsdam in 1997 and at Maastricht University from 2000 to 2001 .

Vorberg deals with visual attention, subliminal ('subliminal') visual perception, executive control, numerical cognition and the mathematical modeling of the underlying cognitive processes. Further research focuses are perception and production of rhythm and synchronization in musical ensembles.

In his research, Vorberg combines experimental procedures with mathematical modeling of behavioral data, such as B. in the study with Levelt et al. on lexical access in language production, and his investigations (with Mattler, Heinecke, Schmidt and Schwarzbach) on the influence of subliminal ('subliminal') visual stimuli on subsequent actions, which showed that the perceptibility of such stimuli is irrelevant for their effect on the speed of reaction .
