With regard to typical development, I am interested in the structure and dynamics of the three executive functions (inihibition, set-shifting, and especially updating) in preschool and early school age. Looking at atypical development, I have investigated executive (dys)functions in neurodevelopmental disorders (epilepsy, Down syndrome). Another area of interest has been the application of the dynamic systems approach to the development of autobiographical memory.<\/p>\n<p>My current research is focused on cognitive functioning and on emotion-cognition interactions in high-anxious children, relevant for developing specific training programs and for improving their academic performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"CV Visu-Petra en\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1g6L_fOv1OFX_QHE54OYlkhfrXlW25MkxVWtkYTsIvns\/edit?pli=1\" target=\"_blank\">CV<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Main Researcher Affiliation: Department of Psychology Faculty of Psychology and Sciences of Education Babes-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania Research interests: My research focuses on the typical and atypical development of executive functions.
