Descrizione del laboratorio:

Studiamo la relazione tra oggetti, concetti, linguaggio, ed esperienze sensoriali, motorie e interocettive. Lo facciamo prevalentemente tramite studi di laboratorio e metodi ecologici interattivi (esperimenti comportamentali, eye tracking, cinematica) e occasionalmente tecniche neuroscientifiche (TMS, ECG, termocamera, EEG ed fMRI), e simulazioni al computer (reti neurali, robotica). Studiamo adulti e bambini, sia popolazioni a sviluppo tipico che atipico. Obiettivi generali del laboratorio: Il Laboratorio di Psicologia Clinica nasce circa 20/25 anni fa istituito dal Professor Marco Cecchini. Il laboratorio è afferito al Dipartimento di Psicologia Dinamica, Clinica e Salute dopo che lo stesso è stato istituito. Prima posizionato al secondo piano fu poi spostato nel locale attuale circa 10 anni fa. Gli obiettivi sono quelli di creare uno spazio di elaborazione, progettazione e messa in atto di studi progettuali nel macro ambito della psicologia clinica attraverso lo scambio tra dottorandi, giovani ricercatori e colleghi del Dipartimento e dell’Ateneo.

Obiettivi generali del laboratorio:

Le strumentazioni presenti nel Laboratorio consentono la conduzione di ricerche nell’ambito della scienza cognitiva, della psicologia cognitiva e dello sviluppo delle neuroscienze cognitive, affettive e sociali.

Aree di ricerca del laboratorio:

Per quanto concerne la TMS: studio delle relazioni tra linguaggio e sistema motorio; attivazione di diversi effettori (mano, bocca) durante l’elaborazione concettuale; analisi di come diversi tipi di parole/concetti attivino il linguaggio interno (processi articolatori); attivazione del sistema motorio in relazione a diversi tipi di oggetti (oggetti pericolosi, oggetti di proprietà altrui, oggetti caratterizzati da diversi tipi di “affordance” etc.). - Per quanto concerne gli esperimenti di high-density electroencephalography (hdEEG): registrazioni in resting state, durante compiti di osservazione passiva di immagini a contenuto emotivo e/o durante compiti comportamentali, finalizzati all’esplorazione dei correlati psico-neurofisiologici di diversi domini di interesse della psicologia dinamica e clinica (come trauma, attaccamento, empatia, regolazione affettiva, responsività genitoriale e risposta al trattamento psicoterapeutico).
