About Us
The Center for Cognition Studies - CECA - was founded in the late 1990s by prof. Pablo Juan Greco. In its genesis, the laboratory emerged as the first knowledge production center in Brazil specifically aimed at investigating methodological processes in the teaching-training of sports games.
