Research activity

Professor Carriedo's research focuses on executive functions - inhibition of responses and thoughts, updating information in working memory or cognitive flexibility - throughout the life cycle of an individual. She targets the understanding of their organization, development and their relationship with the functionality of people in two different areas: 1) school performance in children and adolescents in instrumental skills such as mathematical reasoning and text comprehension; and 2) cognitive impairment associated in adults with various neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's type dementias.

Research

INVESTIGATION GROUPS

  • Theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of executive functioning.
    • Formal analysis of tasks for the study of executive functioning.
    • Study of the development of executive functioning throughout the life.
    • Relationship of executive functioning with reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning and academic performance.
    • Relationship between executive functioning and learning difficulties.
    • Relationship of executive functioning with instrumental functioning in developmental disorders.

PROYECTOS DE INVESTIGACIÓN

  • Proyecto actual: Predictores longitudionales del logro matemático multicomponente

    Este proyecto forma parte de una iniciativa en curso que se inició en otoño de 2016 con la evaluación de  niños españoles distribuidos en diversas cohortes, seguidos hasta el final del sexto curso de educación primaria.

    Además, extenderremos este estudio longitudinal a tres nuevas cohortes en Costa Rica, un país latinoamericano con el que compartimos idioma y, en gran medida, currículo de matemáticas, aunque desde contextos socioeconómicos diferentes. La comparación transcultural de los resultados nos permitirá generalizar los hallazgos, proporcionando un valor añadido al proyecto.

    Adoptamos una perspectiva multidimensional del logro matemático, vinculada a una combinación diferencial de habilidades de dominio general y específico. Estas combinaciones variarán a lo largo de la educación infantil y primaria en función del desarrollo cognitivo de los niños y la adquisición jerárquica de las diferentes habilidades matemáticas.  

  • Exeuctive functioning, cognitive development and academic achievement Study of the development and organization of executive functioning throughout school age and its relationship to reading comprehension and mathematical reasoning.
