About Max-Planck-Institut für Bildungsforschung
The Max Planck Institute for Human Development is dedicated to the study of human development and education, as well as human-machine interaction. Researchers of various disciplines – including psychology, education, sociology, medicine, history, economics, computer science, and mathematics – work together on interdisciplinary projects at the Berlin Institute. The research questions they examine include how people make effective decisions even under time pressure and information overload, how the interaction between behaviour and brain function changes over the lifespan, as well as how human emotions change in a historical context and how they have affected the course of history itself and what social innovations and challenges come with digitalization.
