Sara Fernández García

I am a PhD student in the Health Sciences Doctoral Programme at the University of Oviedo. After earning a degree in Psychology from the University of Zaragoza and completing a Master’s degree in Neuroscience Research at the University of Oviedo, I began my research career focusing on the study of spatial memory.
My current work aims to understand how people navigate through space and which factors explain individual differences in the use of navigation strategies. To achieve this, I investigate the functioning of spatial memory in different population groups, with particular attention to the differences between men and women in orientation processes and perspective-taking abilities.
