🧠📢GIPSI at #XPRAGit2026 in Genoa! We presented a talk on SCD, pragmatic ability, ToM, psychological distress, and cognition, plus a poster on emotional intelligence, depression, and pragmatics, both in healthy aging. A stimulating experience full of scientific exchange!

🧠📣 NEW PAPER OUT! Can pragmatic ability reveal cognitive vulnerability without a neurocognitive diagnosis? It seems so! ✨ Pragmatic ability predicted cognitive functioning better than traditional measures. #SMOOTH #PRINPNRR2022 🔬 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

🧮 GIPSI at #AISC2026 in #Turin! Three posters on pragmatic communication across Subjective Cognitive Decline, ABaCo finnish adaptation on childhood and Theory of Mind in shaping AI relatedness @MontiumUnita @Erasmus_Project #StartingGrants

#PubblicEngagement. Yesterday, in the second lesson of the course “Communicative and Cognitive Abilities Across the Lifespan: Is There More Beyond Words?" at University of the Third Age, we explored mindfulness in communication. Thanks @mur_gov_- #PRIN22 #ACTIVELY project – at Nichelino, Piemonte

📢 PAPER OUT on Sage Open! 🧠 Can we assess Theory of Mind via telepractice? Our new study demonstrates the effectiveness of telepractice and reliability of the Theory of Mind Assessment Scale (Th.o.m.a.s.) for remote ToM assessment. Funded by @FondazioneCRT #Telepractice #ToM

#PublicEngagement: fourth edition of the course "Communicative and cognitive abilities across the lifespan: Is there more beyond words?" at the University of the Third Age in Nichelino! 📣  Thanks to the @mur_gov_ - #PRIN22 #ACTIVELY project

🥳New paper out! Can GPT-4o assess pragmatic ability? In our new study by Boldi et al. (2025), GPT-4o shows potential as a supervised text-only coder in healthy aging pragmatic assessment. Funded by @mur_gov_, project #PRIN2022 #Actively #NextGenerationEU

📷 NEW PAPER OUT! How do narrative structure and pragmatic ability interact in older adults? Our new study funded by @mur_gov_ examines how coherence and informativeness in narrative production relate to pragmatic efficiency. #PRIN2022 #ACTIVELY #pragmatics #NextGenerationEU
