In the area of Developmental and Clinical Psychology, my research interests concern:
- Multisensory and motor development
- Neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g. Autism Spectrum Disorders)
- Age-specific aspects of the interaction with Immersive Virtual Reality environments, in research and clinical fields.
