The what and how of observational learning
2007
Abstract Neuroimaging evidence increasingly supports the hypothesis that the same neural structures subserve the execution, imagination, and observation of actions. We used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to investigate the specific roles of cerebellum and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in observational learning of a visuomotor task. Subjects observed an actor detecting a hidden sequence in a matrix and then performed the task detecting either the previously observed sequence or a new one. rTMS applied over the cerebellum before the observational training interfered with performance of the new sequence, whereas rTMS applied over the DLPFC interfered with performa…
Cognitive and social impairments in patients with superficial siderosis
2005
Superficial siderosis of the CNS is a rare condition, caused by deposition of haemosiderin in the superficial layers of the CNS due to repeated chronic subarachnoid or intraventricular haemorrhage. Typically, the hindbrain structures, especially the cerebellum, are most affected. There is a surprising lack of studies investigating in detail the behavioural functioning of patients with such a condition. In this study, we document for the first time the cognitive, social and emotional processing of six patients with a confirmed clinical diagnosis of superficial siderosis. They were aged between 40 and 62 years, with a mean age of 50.2 years; four were male. We administered a comprehensive bat…
The role of right and left posterior parietal cortex in the modulation of spatial attentional biases by self and non-self face stimuli
2012
In the present research we investigated whether the direction of the attentional bias in line bisection judgment displayed by healthy subjects is influenced by the evaluation of the social distance between self and other. We used inhibitory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) trains over the right and left parietal cortex to investigate the role of these regions in the task. Following right parietal rTMS, the self face is perceived as closer when it is located at the right line endpoint; following left parietal rTMS, the self face is perceived as closer when it is located at the left line endpoint. In both cases, the side of space ipsilateral to the rTMS is underestimated fr…
El Prácticum de Ciencias Sociales en dos Universidades Iberoamericanas
2019
El artículo presenta un estudio comparativo de algunas de las percepciones que tienen futuros docentes de la Universitat de Valencia (Valencia-España) y Francisco José de Caldas (Bogotá-Colombia) sobre su desempeño docente. Las fuentes utilizadas para su análisis han sido los informes de las prácticas elaborados finalizada su intervención de aula. El trabajo se realiza desde una perspectiva cualitativa acudiendo al estudio de caso, que permite comprender un fenómeno de manera detallada. La formación inicial de profesores en didáctica de las ciencias sociales se ve influenciada por sus percepciones, que manifiestan diferencias entre las prácticas de aula y las teorías que se proponen en las …
Media, representation of organized crime and trust building.
2014
The presentation looks at the ways in which the delicate question of the relationship between mafia and politics is discussed. Newspapers, as actors can generate effects of the construction of reality, also contribute to the creation of the collective representation of the Mafia. During the presentation, the perception of the Mafia starting from different empirical data is discussed.
ANÁLISE DA PERCEPÇÃO DOS RESIDENTES SOBRE O IMPACTO CULTURAL E DESPORTIVO DE UM GRANDE PRÊMIO DE FÓRMULA 1
2013
The aim of this study is to analyze the resident’s perception about the cultural and sport impact of European Formula 1 Grand Prix. Cluster analysis was performed by combining hierarchical and non-hierarchical methods, which allowed us to differentiate three groups with different perceptions towards sporting event: Unfavorable, Moderate Unfavorable and Moderate Favorable. Most residents believe that this event has no significant impact to cultural and sporting level. Also, differences were found between the three groups of residents in the interest of Formula 1, the support for the event, attendance and the degree of identification.
