IGNACIO MÁÑEZ SÁEZ is Assistant Professor at the University of Valencia (Spain). He is also a researcher at the ERI-Lectura (Interdisciplinary Research Structure on Reading). He obtained a Degree in Psychology (University of Valencia), a Master’s degree in Cognitive Neurosciences and Educational Needs (University of Valencia and University of La Laguna), and a PhD in Psychology (University of Valencia and Salamanca). As a predoctoral researcher, he was a visiting scholar at the universities of Minnesota (USA) and Poitiers (France). His research focuses on the study of text-based learning processes and feedback processing in digital environments; further, he has participated in several national research projects with public funding related to the design and development of intervention programs in reading literacy. He has publications in scientific journals in the fields of psychology, learning and digital environments.

Marina Pi Ruano is psychologist by the University of Valencia. Currently, she is PhD in the Doctoral Programme in Reading and Comprehension.

Javier Roca is associate professor at the University of Valencia (Spain). He is also researcher at the ERI-Lectura (Interdisciplinary Research Structure on Reading) and Secretary of the Spanish Society for Experimental Psychology (SEPEX). He obtained a Degree in Psychology (University of Valencia), a Master’s Degree in Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience (University of Granada), and a PhD in Experimental Psychology (University of Granada). His research focuses on the study of cognitive processes and its application in daily living activities, such as reading or driving a vehicle. Since 2012, he has been leading a funded research line on the difficulties of adults with and without reading impairment (dyslexia) to acquire text and pictorial information from traffic signs.

Eva Mª Rosa Martínez obtained her bachelor’s degree and PhD in Psychology at the University of Valencia. Since 2019 she is a Full Professor of the Department of Basic Psychology of the University of Valencia. Previously, she worked 3 years as a teacher at the National University of Distance Education, and 14 years at the Catholic University of Valencia, where she was director of the Department of Basic Psychology and Methodology and taught various subjects in the area of methodology and the area of basic psychological processes. She currently teaches in the field of Basic Psychology, mainly in the Degree in Psychology, and since the 2022/23 academic year she is coordinator of the Psychology of Perception and Attention subject.

Eva Rosa is a researcher at the Interdisciplinary Research Structure on Reading (ERI-Reading) that brings together different lines of research such as reading learning, learning disorders, literature, and neuroscience of reading, among others. Her research has focused mainly on the study of language-related cognitive processes, specifically, written language processing, vocabulary learning, and language development in populations with neurodevelopmental disorders. Eva Rosa has participated in several research projects that have given rise to numerous publications in scientific and popular science journals.

Dr. Marta Vergara-Martínez obtained her Bachelor degree in Psychology (Experimental Psychology and Cognitive Science) at the Complutense University of Madrid and her PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of La Laguna. She is currently Associate Professor at the Department of Developmental Psychology at the University of València, where she arrived in 2011.

Marta is the current director of the Interdisciplinary Research Structure ERI-LECTURA.

The ERI-LECTURA brings together different lines of research in READING COMPREHENSION, among others (learning, disorders, literature, digital contexts, neuroscience of reading, etc.)

Previously, she spent 4 years as Postdoc Researcher (two years as Fulbright Postdoc) at the University of California, Davis, where she carried out research on Psycholinguistics & Psychophysiology (EEG and ERP studies) under the supervision of Prof. Tamara Y. Swaab.

Marta’s expertise is on Psycholinguistics, Neuroimaging Techniques –mainly the recording and analysis of EEG and ERPs in combination with behavioral methods and Eye Movements technique - , reading acquisition and visual word recognition.

Marta’s current lines of research include a series of topics relating to: 1) psycholinguistics: disentangling perceptual vs. lexical effects in the early stages of visual word recognition; disentangling the impact of contextual diversity vs. raw frequency variables on learning new vocabulary; connecting parameters of computational models of Lexical Decision to their electrophysiological correlates; 2) Reading comprehension in special populations: orthographic and phonological encoding during the early stages of word reading in deaf readers (see our most recent publication on SCIENTIFIC REPORTS-NATURE); reading comprehension of figurative language in young readers with ASD.

Finally, in collaboration with some colleagues at the Department of Developmental Psychology, we are carrying out research to disentangle the positive effects of paper-based vs digital reading, as shown by a recent paper of this team (Delgado, P., Vargas, C., Ackerman, R., Salmerón, L., & Ibáñez, A. B. (2018). “Don't throw away your printed books: A meta-analysis on the effects of reading media on reading comprehension”. Educational Research Review, 25, 23-38). NEUROPAPEL-BBVA
