Overview

Irene C. Mammarella is affiliated with the University of Padua in Italy and has contributed extensively to research in psychology, particularly within developmental and educational psychology, cognitive neuroscience, education, clinical psychology, and statistics and probability. Their body of work reflects a strong focus on cognitive and developmental aspects of mathematical skills, autism spectrum disorder research, education and achievement, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, reading and literacy development, early childhood education and development, and child and adolescent psychosocial and emotional development.

Their recent publications include studies on a diverse range of topics:

  • Parental experiences of homeschooling during the COVID-19 pandemic: differences between seven European countries and between children with and without mental health conditions (2021, European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry)
  • Math Performance and Academic Anxiety Forms, from Sociodemographic to Cognitive Aspects: a Meta-analysis on 906,311 Participants (2021, Educational Psychology Review)
  • Executive Functions in Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Comorbidity Overlaps Between Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder and Specific Learning Disorders (2021, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience)
  • Research Review: Language and specific learning disorders in children and their co-occurrence with internalizing and externalizing problems: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2021, Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry)
  • Predictors of mathematics in primary school: Magnitude comparison, verbal and spatial working memory measures (2020, Developmental Science)

Mammarella collaborates frequently with several researchers, including Ramona Cardillo, Sara Caviola, Rachele Lievore, David Giofrè, and Giulia Crisci, reflecting multidisciplinary cooperation in overlapping fields of study.

Their articles have been published repeatedly in venues such as:

  • Research in Developmental Disabilities
  • Current Psychology
  • Frontiers in Human Neuroscience
  • Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry
  • Autism Research

Mammarella's research contributions primarily address the complexity of developmental processes and educational outcomes, including the interplay of cognitive skills and emotional factors influencing learning and behavior across childhood and adolescence. Through systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and empirical studies, they explore neurodevelopmental disorders, learning disabilities, and factors affecting academic performance.
