SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES
These are my research activities: (1) the role of attentional mechanisms in neurodevelopmental disorders, such as developmental dyslexia, developmental dyscalculia, developmental language disorder, developmental coordination disorder, and autism spectrum disorder; (2) the role of a specific enriched environment called action video games and several candidate genes in different neurodevelopmental disorders and; (3) the short-term effects of play, such as action and fighting video games on neurocognitive development.
