Sara Silvente i Font
Sara is an Early Stage Researcher in the NEO-PRISM-C (ETN) project and a PhD student at the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain). After completing her MA in Discourse Studies (Universitat Pompeu Fabra), she worked as a research assistant in a longitudinal study on the development of writing skills in children from vulnerable and non-vulnerable populations (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona). Her research work here focused on the cognitive processes underlying writing performance and language control abilities.
Sara recently obtained her MA in Cognitive Science and Language (Psychology track, Universitat de Barcelona), and she is currently working on the development and implementation of evidence-based interventions for treating the emotional and cognitive competences (i.e., executive functions) in children with medical conditions.
