Publications

Main reserach topics:

Spatial cognition. I'm involved in studying mental and environment representations using several inputs (map, real and virtual navigation, descriptions) in relation to cognitive, preference, emotional and motivational individual aspects. 

Learning and study skills. I’m involved in studying psychological correlates of academic achievement, in terms of soft-skills, study strategies, emotional and motivational features.
