An ACT-R Based Humanoid Social Robot to Manage Storytelling Activities
2020
This paper describes an interactive storytelling system, accessible through the SoftBank robotic platforms NAO and Pepper. The main contribution consists of the interpretation of the story characters by humanoid robots, obtained through the definition of appropriate cognitive models, relying on the ACT-R cognitive architecture. The reasoning processes leading to the story evolution are based on the represented knowledge and the suggestions of the listener in critical points of the story. They are disclosed during the narration, to make clear the dynamics of the story and the feelings of the characters. We analyzed the impact of such externalization of the internal status of the characters t…
Beyond the Educational Context: Relevance of Intrinsic Reading Motivation During COVID-19 Confinement in Spain
2021
What role could have intrinsic motivation toward reading in an extraordinary situation like the recent confinement? This research examines the relationship between intrinsic reading motivation (IRM) and reading habits in an adult population considering types of reading (for leisure, work/study, social networks, and news), gender, and distress generated by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Participants were 3,849 adults from Spain who were surveyed about their reading practices: before, during the first weeks, and after several weeks of confinement. Linear mixed effects models (LMMs) were used to analyze data. Results showed a three-way interaction between reading frequency, …
Two Ways of Understanding Persons: A Husserlian Distinction
2019
This paper clarifies the distinction that Edmund Husserl makes between two different ways of understanding other persons, their actions and motivations: the experiential or empirical way, on the one hand, and the genuinely or authentically intuitive way, on the other hand. The paper argues that Husserl’s discussion of self-understanding clarifies his concept of the intuitive understanding of others and allows us to explicate what is involved in it: not just the grasping of the other’s actual motivations of action but also the grasping of her motivational possibilities. The paper ends by discussing the dynamic character of the personal subject.

Resumen tomado de la publicación. Resumen también en inglés Las dos principales posiciones teóricas respecto al reconocimiento arguyen que en éste intervienen sólo la familiaridad, o la familiaridad y el recuerdo conjuntamente. En tres experimentos analizamos la bondad del ajuste de ambas posiciones respecto a datos experimentales donde manipulamos la información contextual asociada al ítem de estudio. En los experimentos 1 y 2 analizamos la disponibilidad de la información contextual tanto en el reconocimiento del ítem, como del contexto, como de su relación asociativa. En el experimento 3 sometimos a los sujetos a una tarea de pluralidad con el propósito de que se vieran forzados a usar l…

Resumen tomado de la publicación ¿Cómo codifican los jugadores de Scrabble la posición de las letras durante la lectura? Antecedentes: en experimentos con lectores adultos, las pseudopalabras creadas por transposición de letras (v.g., CHOLOCATE) se confunden frecuentemente con su palabra base. Por ejemplo, en tareas de decisión léxica (“¿es el estímulo una palabra?”), los tiempos de respuesta son mayores y con mayor porcentaje de errores para CHOLOCATE que para su control ortográfico CHOTONATE (es decir, un efecto de transposición de letras). Método: en el presente experimento examinamos los procesos de codificación de la posición de las letras en individuos particularmente expertos en el p…
Magister : revista de formación del profesorado e investigación educativa
2018
Resumen tomado de la publicación En los últimos años movimientos relacionados con la robótica educativa, el movimiento maker o el movimiento STEM han potenciado la integración en las aulas de contenidos de matemáticas con otros propios de las ciencias de la computación. El uso de entornos tecnológicos en educación, así como el resurgimiento de la programación en la escuela son tendencia consolidada en el panorama educativo. En este estudio pretendemos explorar la capacidad de estudiantes de infantil y primaria para elaborar esbozos de programas a partir de su lenguaje propio así como explorar la conveniencia del uso de un lenguaje de programación simbólico para resolver un problema. Así, de…
Eco-friendly cavity-containing iron oxides prepared by mild routes as very efficient catalysts for the total oxidation of VOCs
2018
Iron oxides (FeOx) are non-toxic, non-expensive and environmentally friendly compounds, which makes them good candidates for many industrial applications, among them catalysis. In the present article five catalysts based on FeOx were synthesized by mild routes: hydrothermal in subcritical and supercritical conditions (Fe-HT, Few200, Few450) and solvothermal (Fe-ST1 and Fe-ST2). The catalytic activity of these catalysts was studied for the total oxidation of toluene using very demanding conditions with high space velocities and including water and CO2 in the feed. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (SEM and…

Crítica a la naturalización del deontologismo en la teoría del proceso dual del juicio moral de Joshua Greene
2018
In this paper I propose to question the Joshua Greene’s neuroethical thesis about the essentially emotional character of so-called “deontological moral judgments”. Frist, I focus on the dual process theory of moral judgment and I criticize that they are considered only and mainly intuitive and non reflective. Se condly, I question that the “utilitarian judgment” is linked to mathematical calculation and the deontological judgment is exclusively reduced to non-reflective factor of emotion. The main objection to Greene’s naturalism raised by me is trying to eliminate the philosophical justification about the moral validity defended by Kant’s deontologism; meanwhile Greene reduces “deontologic…
The toughest animals of the Earth versus global warming: Effects of long-term experimental warming on tardigrade community structure of a temperate d…
2021
Abstract Understanding how different taxa respond to global warming is essential for predicting future changes and elaborating strategies to buffer them. Tardigrades are well known for their ability to survive environmental stressors, such as drying and freezing, by undergoing cryptobiosis and rapidly recovering their metabolic function after stressors cease. Determining the extent to which animals that undergo cryptobiosis are affected by environmental warming will help to understand the real magnitude climate change will have on these organisms. Here, we report on the responses of tardigrades within a five‐year‐long, field‐based artificial warming experiment, which consisted of 12 open‐to…
