About

Dr. Natalia Monje Chapparo is a leading scholar at the intersection of cognitive science and technology adoption, whose work illuminates how humans interact with and embrace emerging digital tools. Her research centers on the cognitive and behavioral mechanisms that drive the acceptance of transformative technologies, particularly within the context of Industry 4.0 and 5.0. In her highly cited 2023 paper, "A Cognitive Model for Technology Adoption," Dr. Monje Chapparo developed a novel framework that integrates mental models and decision-making heuristics to explain why individuals and organizations adopt—or resist—advanced systems like Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. This foundational work has already garnered 20 citations, signaling its growing influence in human-computer interaction and innovation management. Beyond her landmark model, she has contributed to understanding how cognitive biases shape user trust in automation and how training interventions can bridge the gap between human cognition and machine capabilities. Dr. Monje Chapparo’s research is not only academically rigorous but also practically relevant, offering actionable insights for designing user-centered technologies and fostering inclusive digital transformation. Her work continues to shape how we think about the human side of technological change.
