Building Spatial Skills: Development of Spatial abilities across the sensory systems in children with and without visual impairment

Spatial perception is a fundamental ability that enables humans to orient, navigate, and interact effectively with their environment. The main objective of my Ph.D. project was to investigate how spatial representations develop during early life, and how sensory experience shapes the unisensory and multisensory mechanisms supporting spatial perception. In particular, my Ph.D. aimed at: i) characterising the development of auditory spatial localisation abilities during early childhood; ii) exa...

RAGAZZI INTERROTTI Maschilità, salute mentale e TikTok: un’etnografia digitale

This thesis examines the relationship between cisgender men and mental health on TikTok, interrogating the ways in which psychological distress is experienced, narrated, and made visible within a deeply performative digital space. Drawing on a three-year digital ethnography, the research investigates how mental health has come to function as a central site for the production of the self, the reproduction of masculinities, and affective governance, situated at the intersection of embodied expe...

Development of a Hydrogel-Based 3D Printed Scaffold for Full Meniscus Replacement

Meniscal injuries are among the most common disorders affecting the knee joint and remain a major clinical challenge due to the limited intrinsic healing capacity of the meniscus, particularly in its avascular inner zone. Current treatments, including partial meniscectomy and meniscal repair, often fail to restore full function and may increase the risk of long-term joint degeneration and osteoarthritis. In this context, there is a clear need for alternative strategies capable of providing a ...

The hidden dimension of connection: the development of intersubjectivity in infants and children with visual impairments

Intersubjectivity is conceptualized as a dynamic, embodied process that emerges during growth through multisensory engagement and motor development. The present thesis aims to adapt developmental protocols to ensure inclusive models for infants and children with visual impairment (VI). These adaptations replace gaze-dependent measures with indicators derived from alternative sensory channels, such as touch, proprioception and audition. To investigate how visual experience shapes the reorgan...

Motor strategies for spatial interaction in visually impaired children: towards the development of a multisensory device for sensorimotor rehabilitation

Goal-directed motor strategies, such as reaching and grasping, play a central role in early objects exploration, development of body–space representations, and gradual acquisition of functional adaptation to the surrounding environment. In congenital visual impairment, reduced or absent visual feedback from birth can affect perception–action calibration and reshape sensorimotor development. The main objective of my Ph.D. project was to investigate differences in goal-directed actions between ...
