Since 1997, he has been Associate Professor at the University Jaume I in Castellon, Spain, where he teaches developmental psychology through the Department of Psychology and the College of Education. His primary field of research is cognitive development, particularly memory development in children, although his interests have become increasingly focused on how contemporary biological approaches (neurosciences, behavioral genetics, and, especially, evolutionary theory) can improve our understanding of psychological development.

He has been awarded several research grants in Spain and currently serves as an Associate Editor of Infancia y Aprendizaje, the leading Spanish-language journal on child development. His other books (all in Spanish) include Contexts for Psychological Development and Education, and Developmental Psychology: An Historical and Conceptual Approach. He lives in Castellon, on the Mediterranean coast, and loves the arts, especially film and music, as well as traveling, swimming, and watching sports.
