| I graduated in Experimental Psychology
(110 cum laude / 110) at the university of Padua in December
2003, whit the thesis "working memory in the domestic chick
(Gallus gallus): a research through delayed response
task", under the supervision of Prof. Lucia
Regolin. In January 2005 I started my 3 year PhD program
in Perception and Psychophisics (Supervisor: Prof. Lucia Regolin)
"Working on numerical competence in domestic chick (Gallus
gallus)". I am mainly interested in the study of delayed
response, working memory, cerebral lateralization and number
cognition in animal models. |
