Our team is formed by researches interested in attention for
action, attention rehabilitation, attention in reasoning and
consciousness…We all share our concern for investigating
the mind from a cognitive perspective. Our main lines of research
are (see Research lines):
A. Cost of shift
of mental set: Experimental
studies with Reaction Time methodology (RT) [read

B. The application of cognitive science research to
enhance learning, reasoning.
With new methodologies:
We use RT in contexts where it is non usual (like reasoning);
The experimental paradigm of task shifting (that represents
a development of the RT experimental tasks to study sequential
effects). We also employ Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) to
performance (LPSA) in the contexts of microworlds; Subjetive
Dependent Variables…
- In collaboration with Sergio
Moreno – Granada University-,
Orlando Espino and Carlos
Santamaría –Tenerife
University-, Alex Pereda – Dublin University- and Jose
Quesada –Warwick University, UK-.
a. Mental set reconfiguration in the context of Mental Models
Theory.
b. Decision making in real situations like political elections
or financial contexts.
c. Problem solving in dynamic situations (Microworlds, LPSA,
Flight simulators…).
C. Attentional rehabilitation: overall single
cases in neurodegenerative diseases, neglect, hyperactivity…
- We offer a service of attention rehabilitation and training
to students in the Clinic
Unit of the Psychology Faculty of Granada University (mail:
sapsico@ugr.es).
- We collaborate with different Hospitals and Universities
like Centro de Día del Hospital Universitario de Tenerife,
The Neuropsychiatry Institute of Praga, with Padova University
(Department of General Psychology), with The Neuropsychology
Rehabilitation Service of Miguel Perez in Granada University
and The Neurology Service of Hospital of Traumatología
in Granada.
- We also collaborate with different ONGs related to Brain
Damage like GRADACE (Granada Daño Cerebral, and we keep
in touch with FEDACE).
D. Consciousness: Synesthesia and creativity.
See our section Brain Art and some chapters of our book “The
puzzle of the brain: Consciousness”.
