Founder and coordinator, Laboratory of Action and Perception, Department of Physical Education, UNESP,
Rio Claro, São Paulo, Brazil (1993 to present). Develop and implement program for research in motor
behavior and interaction between action and perception of individuals with and without disabilities. We also
study developmental changes throughout the lifespan. Through these studies we provide scholarships under
grants to undergraduate and graduate students. We also develop and validate research methodologies, often in
collaboration with North American colleagues. The theoretical frameworks we use include ecological and
dynamic systems approaches. Recently, Dr. Mauerberg-deCastro started a new line of investigation using
psychophysical tools to measure perception of body dimensions and body image.
