Introduction
My research interests center on education, technology, and children's cognitive development. I have studied neurodevelopmental disorders and learning processes, such as reading, and their relationship to sensory processing. Currently, my work focuses on innovation and the use of digital technologies in education

There is pervasive evidence that problems in sensory processing occur across a range of neurodevelopmental disorders. The present study compared the sensory profile of typically developing (TD) children with those of children with learning disorders (LD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and with deve...

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the field of education has encountered numerous pedagogical and socioemotional challenges. These circumstances have obliged teachers to employ a range of strategies aimed at enhancing their students’ learning experiences. The knowledge acquired during this health crisis, particularly the use of digital tech...

Las dificultades de aprendizaje, que pueden continuar manifestándose en la adultez, han mostrado vinculación con déficit en el procesamiento sensorial. El propósito de la investigación es indagar el perfil sensorial de adultos con y sin dificultades de aprendizaje (DA) en el área de lectoescritura. El estudio es cuantitativo no experimental. El per...

Learning difficulties, which may continue to manifest into adulthood, are linked to deficits in sensory processing. A study focused on investigating the sensory profile of adults with and without learning difficulties (LD) in literacy is presented. Quantitative and non-experimental study. The sensory profile was assessed through a questionnaire bas...

Misconceptions about how the brain works (neuromyths) are shown to be common among educators, but little is known about neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) neuromyths. Here, we explored the prevalence of both general and neurodevelopmental disorders neuromyths in Chilean teachers and other educational professionals. One hundred forty-four participa...

There is evidence that problems in sensory processing occur across a range of neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g. Delgado-Lobete et al., 2020; Little et al., 2018). For specific reading disorders, phonological processing deficits represent the leading theory (Vellutino et al., 2004). However, the underlying cause of the phonological problems remain...

There is pervasive evidence that problems in sensory processing occur across a range of developmental disorders, but their aetiology and clinical significance remain unclear. The present study investigated the relation between sensory processing and literacy skills in children with and without a background of special educational needs (SEN). Twenty...

It is established that sensory difficulties are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders including ASD, ADHD, and DCD (e.g. see references 1-3). However, despite some promising studies (see ref. 4-6) the evidence has not being well-established for SpLD. Sensory processing is central to adaptive behaviour and for general development. Knowing th...

Question
Hi all. I need some advice with creating eventlist  in ERPlab.
My study comprised 5 different type of blocks: 1. audio, 2. visual, 3. audiovisual-ordinary, 4. audiovisual-short, 5. audiovisual-long. Each of these blocks contained a standard stim with a fixed duration, and a deviant stim with six different duration (e.g. 10% less than standard; 20% - standard....). The presentation of the blocks were randomised.
The triggers were named 1 to 5 for the standard stim, and 21to 26 for the deviants. Also, in order to differentiate among the blocks, there were included markers (named from 31-60). So, for example:
- block 1: starts with marker 31 (which corresponds to deviant 21 for an audio block), and then the actual triggers: e.g. 1; 1; 1; 21; 1; 1;21....
- block 2: marker 37 (correspond deviant 21 for visual block), and then the triggers: 2; 21; 2; 2; 21; 2; 21....
So, I don't know how to create an eventlist that can identify/recode the deviant stim regarding the block they belong. If I create a simple eventlist, I'm unable to compare specific ERPs (e.g. differences between standard and deviant-21(duration 10%less than deviant) for the auditory block).  
Any ideas?
thanks in advance
Question
Hello
I'm looking for a screening test to assess the development of school age children. So far I have found scales that include emotional and social dimensions, however I need a more complete scale, but also brief, which also includes cognitive and behavioural dimensions.
All advice are welcome.
Question
Hello. I'm looking for a quick task to measure attentional processes in children. I need it just to control this variable, which is not my core interest.
thanks in advance
