Marta Perapoch Amado

Marta Perapoch Amado is a Post Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of East London, affiliated with the School of Psychology. Her work focuses on developmental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and infant behavior, particularly examining attentional dynamics and social interaction mechanisms.

• Education: PhD in Psychology from University of East London (2024)

Her research explores how infants transition from co-regulation to self-regulation, investigates joint attention pathways, and analyzes neural substrates of attentional development. She employs methodologies like tablet-based assessments and neuroimaging to study early cognitive processes.

Recent publications highlight her contributions to understanding visual attention dynamics, social contingency, and cross-cultural neonatal assessment. She collaborates with international teams, including the BRIGHT Project, to advance infant cognitive development research.

Marta works with multidisciplinary teams at UEL, focusing on real-world attentional processes and early childhood developmental markers. Her projects span from behavioral synchronization studies to global health initiatives in neonatal assessment.
