Avvisi

Research lines, with some of the specific issues proposed for PhD students:

1. Visuospatial abilities in neurodevelopmental disorders (i.e., non-verbal learning disability, high functioning autism and developmental coordination disorders)

How visuospatial abilities may help in the differential diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders?

2. Emotional aspects related to achievement.

How emotional aspects (such as anxiety) may affect academic achievement in children? Are there age differences?

3. Cognitive and emotional processes in neurodevelopmental disorders.

How cognitive skills and emotional processes are related in neurodevelopmental disorders?
