About
Veronica Cucuiat is a researcher at the intersection of child development, play, and technology. Her work focuses on understanding how physical–digital play technologies—interactive systems that blend tangible and digital elements—influence developmentally relevant child behaviors. In her highly cited 2021 systematic review, which has garnered 32 citations, Cucuiat synthesized a fragmented body of literature to map how these hybrid play environments affect children’s cognitive, social, and motor skills. This contribution is pivotal for designers, educators, and psychologists seeking evidence-based guidelines for creating technologies that support, rather than hinder, natural play. By rigorously categorizing behavioral outcomes and identifying gaps in current research, Cucuiat has laid a foundation for future studies on child–technology interaction. Her work underscores the importance of aligning digital play tools with developmental milestones, offering practical insights for both academic and applied contexts. For students and researchers exploring how emerging technologies shape childhood, Cucuiat’s systematic review is an essential starting point—a clear, authoritative synthesis that bridges developmental psychology and human-computer interaction.
