About
Jose Carlo Pulido investigates the developmental origins of motor learning and cognition in infancy, with a focus on how early exploratory behaviors shape cognitive outcomes. His most-cited work, "Correlation between performance and quantity/variability of leg exploration in a contingency learning task during infancy" (2022, 5 citations), reveals a critical link between the variability of infants' leg movements and their ability to learn cause-effect relationships—a foundational skill for later problem-solving. By demonstrating that greater exploration quantity and diversity predict stronger contingency learning, Pulido provides empirical support for the idea that motor variability is not mere noise but a driver of cognitive development. This research bridges developmental psychology and motor control, offering insights into early intervention for at-risk infants. Pulido’s work, though early in its citation trajectory, has already informed discussions on embodied cognition and the role of active exploration in learning. His contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers studying how the body’s movements shape the mind’s earliest achievements.
