Para uma cooperação da escuta e do movimento: Estudo intercultural sobre a percepção dos ritmos tradicionais do Xangô (Olinda, PE)
2010
Combining musical cognition and ethnomusicological approaches, this article seeks to verify if the capacity of recognizing and actually doing the appropriate beat of musical rhythms after listening to musical excerpts is influenced by the movements of the body. We would like to show to what extent variables like "musical competence" ("musicians" and "non-musicians") and "cultural origin" ("Brazilians" and "French") do influence such capacity. We try to answer these questions by applying an experimental protocol designed for that end. The musical rhythms used in the experiment are drawn from the musical and religious traditions of the xangô african-brazilian cult, as they are practiced in Ol…
When your nose knows what you see : multisensory development of visual categorization : evidence from odor-driven face categorization in the human br…
2020
This thesis examines whether and how odors contribute to the development of visual categorization in the human brain using fast periodic visual stimulation coupled with scalp electroencephalography (FPVS-EEG). Specifically, we sought to characterize if a neural visual response selective to the face category is modulated by the presence of a body odor in both infants (Study 1, 2, 3) and adults (Study 4).In infants, the selectivity of the odor effect on visual categorization was addressed by testing separately three categories in three groups of 4-month-old infants presented with a control odor or their mother’s odor. We observed that a face-selective response is largely enhanced by maternal …

Studying arithmetic word problem solving using eye tracking: A peek into mathematical representations
2022
How do adults think about situations involving numbers, and how can we investigate the nature of the mental representations they construct? To tackle this question, we created arithmetic word problems devised to promote contrasting representations and solving strategies. Following recent work on the perception of cardinality and ordinality (Gros, Thibaut, & Sander, 2021), we hypothesized that the use of specific quantities (weights, prices, collections) would foster a cardinal representation of the problems, whereas other quantities (durations, heights, number of floors) would favor an ordinal representation instead. The problems we created were thought to be easily solvable from an ordinal…
Between theory and practice – foreign language teacher students’ cognition of oral proficiency and grammar teaching in Sweden
2019
The present study explores patterns of cognition among 14 foreign language (FL) teacher students in Sweden regarding teaching oral proficiency and grammar in French German, Italian and Spanish. It is based on reflective cumulative log texts written by the students during a theoretical course in FL pedagogy. The log texts were investigated using qualitative content analysis to uncover central themes and patterns of agency. The findings indicate, among other things, that the FL teacher students hold strong experience-based cognitions regarding teaching both oral proficiency and grammar, and that, regardless if their FL learning experiences at school were based on form-focused teaching or comm…
Testing Three Theories of Cognitive Dysfunction in Problem Alcohol Use
2014
- Objectives : many hypotheses concerning the cognitive functions affected by chronic alcoholism have been advanced. The aim of this study was to test cognitive performance in a sample of alcoholics and to examine results comparing three different models: the frontal lobe hypothesis, the lateralization hypothesis and the diffuse brain hypothesis. - Methods : 51 patients who refer to alcoholism service have been included in this study. Cognitive functions were assessed by trained psychologist with a specific neuropsychological battery. -Results : our results show a ranking of impairment degrees in different cognitive functions and different influence of clinical features. In our sample the f…
Cognitive deficits related to alcohol abuse: a preliminary study
2012
-Objective : cognitive deficits may compromise patients’ utilization of rehabilitative information. There is an increasing attention on the opportunity to integrate a specific support to cognitive functions in alcohol detox programme and the first step to program the clinical intervention is to have a complete overview of cognitive deficits in alcoholics clinical sample. -Methods : 62 patients who refer to alcoholism service were screened at admission time. Cognitive functions were assessed by trained psychologist with a specific neuropsychological battery. The impact of clinical features as age, gender, scholarship and concurrent polyabuse was evaluated for each function. -Results : the 45…
