Roland Hugo Grabner (born July 10, 1975 in Graz ) is an Austrian psychologist and neuroscientist and has been a professor of talent research at the University of Graz since autumn 2014 .

Life

Roland Grabner was born on July 10, 1975 in Graz . After completing elementary school in his home town of Kirchbach in Styria and the Federal Commercial Academy in Feldbach (Styria), he studied psychology at the Karl-Franzens University of Graz between 1996 and 2002 (diploma), where he studied in 2005 on the subject of “Expertise, intelligence and neural efficiency in tournament chess ”with summa cum laude. In the course of his doctoral studies in 2004 he also spent a research stay at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin.

After doing relevant research and teaching on neuroscientific talent research in Graz, he moved to ETH Zurich (Institute for Behavioral Sciences in the Department of Humanities, Social and Political Sciences) in 2007 , where he worked in the field of neuroscientific teaching and learning research in 2012 (educational neuroscience) qualified as a professor (subject: "Mathematical competencies from the perspective of educational neuroscience").

In the same year he was offered the W3 professorship for educational psychology at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen , which he held up to and including the summer semester 2014. In 2014 he was appointed to the chair for talent research at the Institute of Psychology at the Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, which he took over on October 1, 2014.

His research is devoted to the psychological and neuroscientific foundations of learning mathematics, but also to other topics in the field of teaching-learning research such as the interplay of intelligence and expertise , or bilingualism .
