Sensory Processing Disorders in Children and Adolescents: Taking Stock of Assessment and Novel Therapeutic Tools
2022
Sensory processing disorders (SPDs) can be described as difficulty detecting, modulating, interpreting, and/or responding to sensory experiences. Because SPDs occur in many individuals with autism spectrum disorder and in other populations with neurodevelopmental disorders, it is important to distinguish between typical and atypical functioning in sensory processes and to identify early phenotypic markers for developing SPDs. This review considers different methods for diagnosing SPDs to outline a multidisciplinary approach useful for developing valid diagnostic measures. In particular, the advantages and limitations of the most commonly used tools in assessment of SPDs, such as caregiver r…
Behavioral Restriction Determines Left Attentional Bias: Preliminary Evidences From COVID-19 Lockdown
2021
International audience; During the COVID-19 lockdown, individuals were forced to remain at home, hence severely limiting the interaction within environmental stimuli, reducing the cognitive load placed on spatial competences. The effects of the behavioral restriction on cognition have been little examined. The present study is aimed at analyzing the effects of lockdown on executive function prominently involved in adapting behavior to new environmental demands. We analyze non-verbal fluency abilities, as indirectly providing a measure of cognitive flexibility to react to spatial changes. Sixteen students (mean age 20.75; SD 1.34), evaluated before the start of the lockdown (T1) in a battery…
Hating Adolescents Test (HAT): a preliminary development of a measure to assess hating among adolescents
2020
The phenomenon of haters is becoming common among adolescents. The aims of the present research were to evaluate the preliminary psychometric properties of the Hating Adolescents Test (HAT), an ad hoc questionnaire created to evaluate online and offline hate (Study 1), and possible risk factors connected with hate (Study 2). Participants (202 female and 200 male) of this study completed the HAT, the How I Think Questionnaire, the Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire, and the Penn State Worry Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were applied. Preliminary data suggest how males reported higher level of hate than…
Gestalt Theory, Data Decomposition and Functional Architecture in Visual Neuroscience
2013
Classical and recent result about neuronal properties, and their functions and architectural design prompted claims to bring gestalt theory to bear on neurosciences reserach. It is deemed to contribute to understand brain mechanism through descriptions of visual functions expected to be wired in the brain. The standard models of data decomposition and functional architecture in visual neuroscience are discussed. Such issues as visual primitives identification and neuronal activity integration in gestaltist terms are introduced.
Antecedentes y consecuentes de la cohesión y la potencia grupal: un estudio longitudinal
2014
Antecedentes y consecuentes de la cohesión y potencia grupal: un estudio longitudinal. La tesis tiene como objetivo analizar los antecedentes y los consecuentes de la cohesión atendiendo a su naturaleza dinámica y multidimensional en equipos de proyecto de nueva creación a partir de una adaptación del Cuestionario de Entorno de Grupo (GEQ) desarrollado por Widmeyer, Brawley y Carron (1985). Además, en la presente tesis, se analizan también, los antecedentes y consecuentes de la potencia grupal. La potencia definida por Guzzo y sus colaboradores (1993) como " la creencia colectiva que existe en el grupo de que puede ser eficaz". En este sentido, en la presente tesis se pretende profundizar e…
Watersport and juvenile criminal justice: social projects for individual and community well-being
2023
Background:Intervention projects in social and psychological fields envisage actions aimed at creating a network not only among institutions and informal support but also an opportunity for the promotion of well-being, individuals and communities. Methods:This project was based on an active and individual-centered approach that involved in 2020, 6 young people from the Palermo Juvenile Prison, involving their awareness and participation in planned activities that involved the use of a water sport (snorkeling) to offer them an opportunity for change. Results:The adoption of watersport has been a successful methodology, as they are based on sharing standards, individual responsibility and mut…
Especificidad, integración e incidencia de la técnica en la evaluación de la RAA en el fútbol
2019
Las habilidades para repetir aceleraciones máximas y submáximas (RAA) son consideradas de gran importancia en el rendimiento de los futbolistas. Tras analizar las demandas físicas propias del fútbol, el principal objetivo de esta tesis fue diseñar un test de RAA que permita integrar la evaluación conjunta de las diferentes manifestaciones condicionales que son específicas para los futbolistas. El test UST, consta de tres secciones: SEC-A condicional (30m:10m Sprint lineal + 2x10m ida y vuelta /5s), SEC-B técnica con conducción y pase de balón [40m (2x10m-COD-derecha+ 2x10m-COD-izquierda/5s)], SEC-C valoración de la fuerza explosiva [1-CMJ]. Con el fin de determinar la reproducibilidad del t…
