Summary.
The Nebrija Research Centre in Cognition - CINC is oriented towards research excellence in the area of behavioural sciences. Its scientific work revolves around the disciplines that explore how human behaviour is and how it is modulated in relation to oneself and the context, focusing mainly on sciences such as pedagogy and experimental psychology, and giving a highly relevant role to cognitive science and neuroscience.
Lines of research
- Basic cognitive processes and their relation to learning.
- Language learning throughout the life cycle.
- Language management and code switching.
- Cognitive mechanisms involved in reading.
- Reading training.

ACELERA Thematic Network
Language is our main vehicle of communication. We debate, laugh and get excited through the use of words. However, this experience changes significantly if we use a foreign language learned late, because it requires more effort, concentration and cognitive resources than our native language.
Collaborating Institutions.
Sapientia Project
The programme delves into basic and applied research on the relationship between culture and knowledge, on the one hand, and memory and emotion as cognitive processes, on the other, to understand what factors determine better access to and handling of culturally relevant information.
