About

Carolina Robledo-Castro is a researcher whose work sits at the compelling intersection of cognitive science, educational technology, and child development. Her scholarship focuses on two primary areas: the application of artificial cognitive systems in neurological rehabilitation, and the role of computational thinking in fostering executive function development in children. Her most influential contribution, a 2022 systematic review on artificial cognitive systems in executive function stimulation and rehabilitation programs, has garnered 31 citations, establishing her as a notable voice in the growing field of technology-assisted cognitive intervention. This work synthesizes evidence on how AI-driven tools can support individuals in developing or recovering critical cognitive capacities such as planning, cognitive flexibility, and inhibitory control. More recently, Robledo-Castro has turned her attention to early childhood and elementary education, designing rigorous controlled trials that examine how robotics-based and computational thinking programs shape working memory, flexibility, and inhibition in young learners. Her protocol-driven research exploring the relationships among computational thinking, visuospatial skills, and early toy experiences reflects a sophisticated, developmental perspective. Together, her studies offer meaningful implications for educators and clinicians seeking evidence-based strategies to strengthen executive functions across the lifespan.
