Research: The role of language in the acquisition and execution of new actions

I received a Master of Science with honors in Applied Cognitive Psychology at University of Bologna.

I have been working as research intern at the “Centre de Recherche en Neurosciences de Lyon (CRNL)”, where I worked on peripersonal space and on the anatomical and functional link between tool-use and language.
In addition, I have been working as post-lauream intern at the “A. Gemelli Polyclinic”, in Rome, where I worked with children affected by neurodevelopmental disorders and adults affected by cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disorders.

My PhD project, in co-supervision with the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center, focuses on the role of language (semantics and inner speech) in the acquisition and execution of new action.
