Permanent teacher (master’s and PhD degree)

My academic formation was in clinical psychology and psychological assessment. Since then, I have been organizing my research interests in two lines. The first involves topics related to suicide, depression and other internalizing problems. Within this scope, there are projects that link the effect of stress on the activation of beliefs and dysfunctional thoughts, based on the concept of cognitive vulnerability. I am also interested in research that involves the study of efficacy and effectiveness in clinical interventions. The second line of research deals with the development and adaptation of instruments related to Cognitive Therapy and Family Psychology.

Permanent teacher (master’s and PhD degree)

I have a background in psychological assessment, individual differences and neurosciences, with research focused on education and health contexts, mostly. My current interests focus on two main lines: personality, perfectionism and mental health, with studies on the adaptation and construction of measures for the evaluation of perfectionism in its positive and negative aspects, and how it relates to personality, parental bonds, performance, procrastination, motivation, emotion and health; and evaluation and cognitive training, with research aimed at the adaptation and construction of measures for digital / computerized evaluation of cognitive processes / intelligence and development of programs for cognitive training in children, adolescents, adults and the elderly. I am open to contacts of potential postgraduate students interested in these topics or related topics.

Permanent teacher (master’s degree)

I have a degree in Gerontology and Public Health. My main focuses are in psychology of aging and epidemiological aspects of adult and elderly health. Currently, I conduct clinical and population-based research aimed at intervention and identification of behavioral, social, and lifestyle factors related to unfavorable outcomes in old age such as functional dependence, cognitive decline, dementia, and depression. In addition, I am interested in the study of psychosocial life-course factors associated with positive outcomes in old age such as life satisfaction and cognitive functionality.

Permanent Teacher (master’s degree)

I am interested in supervising work on cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience, with special emphasis on the investigation of the cognitive and neural processes underlying the coding and evocation of episodic memories. Among the work that we have developed, some have applications in the legal area (testimonial psychology) and in the education area (the identification of mnemonic strategies that promote learning). Within the neuroscientific approach, we seek to investigate the neural activity underlying memory evocation processes through electroencephalography and event-related potential (EEG-ERP) techniques.

Permanent Teacher (master’s degree)

I have training and experience in Experimental Behavior Analysis, with emphasis on behavioral analysis of cognitive processes. I work with behavioral models that simulate the establishment of symbolic relations in various experimental conditions. My research interests focus mainly on psychological processes involved in the production of language and other symbolic behaviors. I am willing to supervise postgraduate students with similar interests.

Permament Professor (master’s and PhD degree)

My background and research interests are centered in ​​Behavior Analysis and in the interchange with Developmental Psychology, especially focused on the acquisition of basic speech processes and the development of symbolic function in general. My current research interests focus on experimental research aimed at young children, with or without disabilities, understanding interactive educational processes, speech and language development, socio-cognitive development (as imitation and cooperation between pairs) and basic processes in the development of cognition and symbolic functioning (such as simple and complex discriminatory repertoires, acquisition and development of categorization repertoires, for example). I am open to contacts of potential graduate students interested in these topics, either for experimental investigations or theoretical-conceptual study. The interest in topics related to other subjects within the analytical behavioral approach can be evaluated, since they have a focus on the investigation of the development of repertoires involved in cognition and language processes with implications for education and health.
