Angels Colome Gonzalez

Angels Colomé is an Associate Professor in the Department of Cognition, Development and Educational Psychology at the University of Barcelona's Faculty of Psychology. She specializes in numerical cognition, math anxiety, and decision-making processes. Her work integrates experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and educational research to understand how cognitive and emotional factors influence mathematical reasoning.

Education:

• Psychology Degree, Universitat de Barcelona (1996)
• Doctorate in Psychology, Universitat de Barcelona (2000)

Research Interests: Dr. Colomé investigates how anxiety impacts numerical processing and mathematical performance. Her studies explore spatial processing deficits in math-anxious individuals, probabilistic reasoning biases, and decision-making under uncertainty in medical contexts. She employs behavioral experiments, electrophysiological measures (ERP), and neuroimaging techniques to uncover cognitive mechanisms.

Key Projects:

• 2014-2017: 'Visió i Control de l'Acció' (AGAUR Grant SGR79) - Investigating visual-motor control mechanisms
• 2016-2019: 'Ansiedad matemática:el papel de la habilidad de procesamiento espacial' (MINECO Grant PSI2015-69915-R) - Examining spatial skills' role in math anxiety
• 2017-2021: 'Visió i Control de l'Acció' (AGAUR Grant SGR48) - Ongoing visual action control research

Teaching: Recently taught courses include 'Cognitive Numerical Processing', 'Mathematical Processing Disorders', and 'Problem-Solving and Reasoning' at the undergraduate level.

Labs/Groups: Member of the VISCA research group (Visual Action Control) and the Aprenentatge i Pensament educational innovation team. Collaborates with researchers like Maria Isabel Núñez-Peña and Joan Lopez Moliner.
