Education
2021–Present | Ph.D. Experimental Psychology, University of Granada.
- Ph.D. founded by an FPU grant awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Universities, supervised by Juan Lupiáñez and Miguel A. Vadillo. My research focuses on the study of the learning conditions of Value-Modulated Attentional Capture (VMAC). Specifically, this thesis aims to test the extent to which we can consider VMAC as an implicit psychological process.
