Overview

Lucia Regolin is affiliated with the University of Padua in Italy. Their research primarily encompasses the fields of psychology and neuroscience, with significant contributions in subfields such as statistics and probability, cognitive neuroscience, developmental and educational psychology, social psychology, and ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics.

The scholar's work covers a variety of topics related to cognitive and developmental aspects of mathematical skills, child and animal learning development, hemispheric asymmetry in neuroscience, animal vocal communication and behavior, primate behavior and ecology, animal behavior and reproduction, and animal nutrition and physiology.

Among the recent papers authored or coauthored by Regolin are:

  • A sense of number in invertebrates (2020, Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications)
  • Numerical magnitude, rather than individual bias, explains spatial numerical association in newborn chicks (2020, eLife)
  • Statistical learning in domestic chicks is modulated by strain and sex (2020, Scientific Reports)
  • Hemispheric specialization in spatial versus ordinal processing in the day-old domestic chick (Gallus gallus) (2020, Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences)
  • Infants' preferences for approachers over repulsers shift between 4 and 8 months of age (2022, Aggressive Behavior)

Regolin frequently collaborates with several coauthors, including Maria Loconsole, Rosa Rugani, Giorgio Vallortígara, Massimo De Agrò, and Yujia Zhang. Collaboration counts indicate a strong ongoing research partnership.

The most common publication venues for Regolin's work include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), eLife, Scientific Reports, Animals, and Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications.
