About
Wilma C. M. Resing is a pioneering developmental psychologist whose research sits at the intersection of dynamic testing, cognitive development, and human-robot interaction. Her major contributions center on reimagining how children’s learning potential is assessed, moving beyond static IQ tests to capture cognitive modifiability through dynamic testing paradigms. Notably, Resing has innovatively integrated socially assistive robots—such as the teleoperated “Wizard of Oz” robot—into these assessments, exploring how robotic tutors can scaffold children’s problem-solving in tasks like the Tower of Hanoi and series completion. Her work demonstrates that robot-mediated dynamic testing can reveal distinct patterns in children’s strategy use and learning potential, with studies garnering 18 and 13 citations respectively. By combining rigorous experimental design with cutting-edge technology, Resing has opened new avenues for understanding how young learners (ages 6–9) benefit from interactive, adaptive support. Her research not only advances theoretical knowledge in cognitive assessment but also offers practical implications for educational technology, making her a key figure in the growing field of developmental robotics and dynamic assessment.
