    Biography

    Dr. Giulia Borriello is an Assistant Professor in Learning Sciences and Educational Psychology at Kent State University’s School of Lifespan Development and Educational Sciences. Dr. Borriello’s research focuses on clarifying individual differences in early math skills and she aims to determine the antecedents, correlates, and consequences of these skills across development. Specific themes include:

    (1) How a constellation of cognitive and math skills co-develop and interact with one another to influence learning,

    (2) How parent and child characteristics jointly influence cognitive and math development, and

    (3) How gene-environment transactions influence learning trajectories.

    Her multimethod research program integrates genetic and longitudinal methods, observational data coding (e.g., quantifying parent and child behaviors during play), and experimental research designs to pinpoint key factors influencing learning outcomes. I also collect rich behavioral data at a fine-grain and a global level to clarify how in-the-moment learning occurs and estimate its effect on later knowledge. By investigating mechanistic pathways that drive variability in cognitive and math development, Dr. Borriello’s work aims to elucidate the protective factors that enable children of diverse backgrounds to maximize their learning potential.
