معرفی
Mariagrazia Ranzini is an Assistant Professor at the University of Padua, located at Via Venezia, 8 in Padova, Italy. Her contact information includes the phone number +39 049 827 6668 and email mariagrazia.ranzini@unipd.it.
Her research interests focus on Numerical Cognition, Embodied Cognition, and Number-Space Interactions, with additional emphasis on Cognitive Neuroscience, Neuroimaging, and Spatial Attention. She investigates how numerical concepts are mentally represented, influenced by motor actions (e.g., grasping, pointing), and spatial orientation (e.g., vertical/horizontal axes). Her work also addresses clinical conditions like Gerstmann’s syndrome and optic ataxia through neuroimaging studies, while exploring broader themes such as cross-cultural social behavior during the pandemic and temporal perception.
Her recent publications (2022–2025) reveal a consistent exploration of embodied cognition, using techniques like functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and meta-analyses to map neural substrates. She examines how attentional shifts, visual cues, and motor tasks modulate numerical processing, with applications in both clinical rehabilitation and theoretical cognitive science. Notable studies include the impact of monetary values on mental quantities and the spatial coding of abstract magnitudes.
