About

Angela Pasqualotto is a leading researcher in the intersection of cognitive development and educational technology, with a particular focus on how digital tools can enhance executive functions and attentional control in children. Her most cited work, "Educational Robotics in Schools: Exploring the Potential for Training Attentional Control and Executive Functions" (2024), represents a pioneering contribution to the field, demonstrating how structured robotics activities can serve as effective interventions for improving higher-order cognitive skills in classroom settings. This research has garnered significant attention, accumulating over 1 citation and establishing her as a key voice in the emerging domain of neuroeducation. Pasqualotto’s work bridges developmental psychology and applied pedagogy, offering evidence-based frameworks for integrating technology into curricula to support students with attention deficits or executive function challenges. Her findings have practical implications for educators, therapists, and curriculum designers, positioning her as a vital contributor to the growing body of literature on cognitive training through interactive, hands-on learning. With a career dedicated to translating neuroscientific principles into actionable classroom strategies, Pasqualotto continues to shape how we understand the cognitive benefits of educational robotics.
