Her research has mainly focused on orthographic processing and visual word recognition, with special attention to the mechanisms of orthographic invariance (position, rotation, and letter similarity). In parallel, she has also developed research lines in the field of misinformation processing, studying the cognitive and emotional factors that influence the credibility and spread of fake news.

Her teaching activity covers courses in the Department of Basic Psychology, where she combines a theoretical approach with practical activities aimed at fostering critical thinking, creativity, and reflection on human cognition. In addition, she participates in educational innovation projects focused on scientific communication and the use of creative formats in university teaching.

Patricia Motos Sellés obtained her degree (2007) and PhD (2013) in Psychology from the University of Valencia. She is currently a Tenure-Track Lecturer in the Department of Basic Psychology at the Faculty of Psychology and Speech Therapy, University of Valencia. She is a member of the research group Psychosocial Aspects of the Addictive Process (APPrAd).

Her research focuses on gaining a deeper understanding of addictive processes, with particular emphasis on binge drinking patterns, improving their assessment and detection, and proposing evidence-based strategies for prevention and intervention. Within this field, she has participated in several national research projects, including “Development and validation of an instrument to assess binge drinking among young people”, “Design of a psychosocial intervention to address binge drinking in young people”, and “Assessment of brain damage associated with intensive alcohol consumption (binge drinking) in young people: Behavioral, neuropsychological, and psychophysiological evaluation”. Her contributions have encompassed diverse tasks such as data collection and entry, project management, interviewing, report writing, and the dissemination of scientific findings.

She has published several articles in high-impact international journals (JCR) and has presented her work at leading national and international conferences. She is currently involved in the project “Determinants underlying intensive alcohol use or binge drinking (BD) in young adults”, which aims to identify specific predictor profiles of different alcohol consumer groups, thereby enabling more precise tailoring of preventive interventions.

In parallel, she has recently initiated a new line of research on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), which addresses two main areas: first, evaluating the level of training among future professionals regarding the effects of alcohol consumption during pregnancy on the child; and second, assessing public knowledge about this issue. These findings will support the future design of social awareness initiatives grounded in empirical evidence.

Pablo Ribes Guardiola is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Basic Psychology at the University of Valencia. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology (2011) and a PhD in Psychology (2017) from the University Jaume I of Castelló, within the Psychopathology, Health and Neuropsychology doctoral program.

His main research interests lie in the field of clinical neuroscience. His work focuses on the application of multidomain assessment protocols—integrating self-report measures, cognitive task performance, and peripheral and central psychophysiological indices—to the study of psychopathy and other problems within the externalizing spectrum of psychopathology, with the goal of understanding them in terms of individual differences in threat sensitivity, affiliative capacity, and inhibitory control.

He has held several predoctoral (FPI; Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness; 2012–2016) and postdoctoral fellowships (APOSTD; Generalitat Valenciana and European Social Fund [2018–2020]; PICD-UJI; University Jaume I [2021–2024]) aimed at developing his research career. During these periods, he also completed research stays at internationally recognized centers, including the Clinical Neuroscience Lab (Department of Psychology, Florida State University, Tallahassee, USA; 2014 and 2019–2020) and the Brain, Affect and Cognition Group (Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain; 2024).

He has published articles in  international journals in the fields of experimental psychology, psychophysiology, and clinical psychology, and has been awarded one positively evaluated research period (CNEAI). In addition, he has participated in five competitive research projects, acting as principal investigator in one of them: PSI2011-22559 (MICINN), PSI2015-66798-P (MINECO/FEDER), PID2019-104522GB-I00 (MICINN), P1·1B2013-12 (University Jaume I), and UJI-2023-26 (University Jaume I).

He has also presented numerous papers at national and international conferences, and is an active member of several scientific societies in the fields of psychophysiology, cognitive and affective neuroscience, and individual differences: Society for Psychophysiological Research (SPR), Spanish Society of Psychophysiology and Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience (SEPNECA), and Ibero-American Association for Research on Individual Differences (AIIDI).

During his pre- and postdoctoral training, he has taught courses in Basic Psychology at the Department of Basic, Clinical and Psychobiological Psychology at the University Jaume I, as well as at the Department of Health Psychology at the University of Alicante. His teaching performance has received overall positive evaluations according to the quality assurance procedures of the University Jaume I (DOCENTIA-UJI program) and the University of Alicante.

Vicent Rosell completed his degree in Psychology in 1987. Since then, both his academic training and research have focused on the study of language and speech, especially in people with neurological disorders. Before defending his doctoral thesis, he completed several master's degrees and specialised in courses related to language disorders. He had already published two books: one on language assessment at early ages (1991) and another on language stimulation in early childhood education (1993), several articles published in magazines and newspapers and presented numerous posters and oral communications at conferences and seminars on neurology, speech therapy, and psychology. Most of his contributions focused on the study of language, speech, and voice in adults and children with linguistic and communicative deficits. In 2005, he defended his doctoral thesis, "Use of the verb in patients with predominantly motor aphasia." Her involvement in clinical linguistics is reflected in her participation as a member of the research team in projects under the Ministry of Education's National R&D&I Plan. Within the framework of these projects, numerous papers have been presented at national and international conferences and seminars on clinical linguistics, speech therapy, neurology, and psychology. Several books, book chapters, and scientific articles have been published, including those in the Journal of Neurolinguistics, Aphasiology, Journal of Communication Disorders, Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, among others. He has co-supervised several doctoral theses, all of them focused on the study of language, speech, and voice in people with language deficits. Since 2015, he has directed the Speech Therapy Clinic of the Lluís Alcanyís Foundation - University of Valencia.
