Results indicated that these two abilities are moderately correlated (with age acting as a significantly negative moderator), hence providing further insight into how the relation between executive function and spatial skills may be utilized in research and assessment settings.

Kiara is a researcher in Assistant Professor @damcotto.bsky.social's research group, Berkeley Lab for Opportunities in Cognition and Knowledge (BLOCK). Kiara will discuss a meta-analysis of thirteen studies that relate executive function skills to spatial abilities in children ages 8 to 12.

Ideal candidates connect theory to practice through human-centered design, learning analytics, and classroom-embedded research; attend to ethics, effectiveness, and impacts of AI; and envision next-gen STEM teaching, curriculum, and assessment responsive to diverse learners and educational settings.

We are especially interested in scholars who design, study, and critically evaluate AI in learning environments to improve teaching, learning, and equitable outcomes in K–12 and higher-education contexts.
