Biography:
Berenice received a B.A. in Psychology (2014) and a M.S. in Psychology (2016) from Western Kentucky University. For her Master’s thesis, she examined the validity of “hot” and “cool” tasks as measures of self-regulation, and how these tasks predicted future academic performance and socio-emotional competence, which play a crucial role in school readiness. Berenice is currently a third-year student working under the mentorship of Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar, studying how affect, temperament, and attention interact to shape social processes.
