Research interestsLanguage and text comprehension, embodied cognition, emotions, statistics and research methods in psychology. I'm (and I have been) making links with other researchers in order to investigate several research topics. If you find any of these topics of your interest and would like to join our work, just drop me a line!. Please see more here Curriculum vitaeplease click here (narrative version of my C.V. plus its printable version) Downloadable papersplease click here (some documents are in .pdf and others in .tiff). In this page I have also uploaded papers written by other researchers which I reckon are very interesting. These papers touch issues related to my research interests. Links to psychological stuffplease click here (links to topics in embodied cognition, cognitive science, and research methods, among other things) Links to non psychological stuffplease click here (a miscellany of nice and curious things) | Some of my stuff in a nutshellProfessionally...I'm a psychologist interested in understanding how people use their background knowledge to parse language in general and narrative texts in particular. I'm interested in knowing how sensorimotor knowledge may contribute to the comprehension of abstract concepts, specially, emotions both in real and fictional contexts. Lately, I've become interested in understanding the logic behind hypothesis testing procedures and statistical approaches used in psychological research. My aim is to have a good grasp of the statistics used in experimental work in order to, MAYBE, further current procedures and/or come up with alternative research methods. Personally...I enjoy playing guitar (electric and acoustic), listening to music (although I prefer heavy rock I can stand almost anything), and learning other languages (at the moment Japanese is my challenge). 虎穴に入らずんば虎子を得ず。(Koketsu ni irazunba koji o ezu) Nothing ventured, nothing gained |
