Determinantes de las intenciones conductuales en un programa de certificación profesional a nivel europeo
2017
En los últimos años han proliferado los programas de certificación profesional en competencias, y desde la literatura se ha abogado por la necesidad de investigar acerca del valor percibido de tales sistemas en términos de beneficios y barreras percibidas por los potenciales candidatos para la acreditación. Por ello, a partir de una encuesta a profesionales acerca del programa “Certified Professional” en 8 países europeos, se analiza la influencia de los atributos percibidos del programa de certificación y de las características personales del potencial candidato sobre sus intenciones conductuales. Como resultado, se observa una influencia significativa tanto de las percepciones del program…
Enhanced Spatial Navigation Skills in Sequence-Space Synesthetes
2018
Contains fulltext : 219554.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Individuals with sequence-space synesthesia (SSS) perceive sequences like months, days and numbers in certain spatial arrangements. Several cognitive benefits have been associated with SSS, such as enhanced mental rotation, more vivid visual imagery and an advantage in spatial processing. The current study aimed to further investigate these cognitive benefits, focusing on spatial navigation skills, to explore if their enhanced sensitivity to spatial relations is reflected in enhanced navigational performance. Synesthetes were distinguished from controls by means of a questionnaire, a consistency test and drawings. A virtu…
ENSO IV - Book of Abstracts
2015
The conference addresses questions about the formation, persistence, change and collapse of social-institutional reality; the nature of collective intentionality; the ontogenesis of the capacity for interaction; team reasoning and distributed cognition; collective decision-making; collective responsibility; political power and social change; the role of language in the construction of social and institutional reality; institutional and social normativity; group membership and group identity; the logical and normative structure of cooperation; the psychological and conceptual mechanisms underlying the emergence of social interaction and collective agency; the nature of duties and rights buil…
Intenzionalità collettiva, ontologia sociale e mindreading
2014
In his Collective Intentions and Actions John Searle argued that having a preintentional sense of others as at least potentially cooperative agents “like me” is a necessary condition of collective intentionality. He also argued, in Rationality in Action, that understanding others qua intentional agents necessarily presupposes rationality because rational constraints are built into the logical structure of intentional phenomena. In this paper we will try to specify further these claims in the light of current debate on mindreading, where other-understanding is spelled out either in terms of automatic, subpersonal simulative mechanisms, or in terms of normative, rational principles. We will a…
Collective Intentionality, Language, and Normativity: A Problem and a Possible Solution for the Analysis of Cooperation
2015
In this paper I discuss Searle's analysis of social ontology in the light of his account of the sources of normativity as rooted in the logical structure of language. I conclude that, though his theory of normativity may appear to be inconsistent with his theory collective intentionality, it is really our Background sense of the other that creates a sense of community even before the actual functioning of collective intentionality and language, thereby escaping the dilemma between individualism and collectivism.
Sources and Boundaries of Institutional and Linguistic Normativity. Towards a Critical Social Ontology.
2013
Since Hegel and until speech acts theory and contemporary social ontology it came to full development the idea that most of reasons, duties, rights, entitlements, have to do, against Kant, with our participation to social, linguistic and institutional practices of the lifeform to which we belong rather than or more than with our dealing with “substantive moral principles”. But if we accept, with Hegel, that every individual rational determination of the will is justified as such only as a part of our collective Sittlichkheit (Hegel, 1967, cf. Di Lorenzo Ajello, 2009); if we accept from speech acts theory that there are commitments, rights and entitlements specific to every type of speech ac…
Embodied Experience and Communicative Intentions of the Singing Performer
2009
Theories of Embodied Cognition assert that simulation mechanisms underlie inter-subjective communication. On this basis we posit that by solely assessing only visual component of a performance, a naïve audience could make similar judgments to those ones elicited by audiovisual or aural perception. Five vocal performances by performers of different levels of expertise were assessed using various of perception (audiovisual, visual and aural perception) by 90 musically uneducated subjects randomly assigned to a specific modality. Subject’s task consisted of pronounce an aesthetical judgment of the performances using an 11-point scale. Results assessed by ANOVA test of repeated measures showed …
Perfil del usuario de centros deportivos privados, según género, edad y nivel de antigüedad
2019
En los últimos años ha surgido una extrema necesidad de perfilar a los usuarios de instalaciones deportivas debido al crecimiento en el sector tratando de ser cada vez más competitivos adecuando la oferta a la demanda (Nuviala et al., 2014). El objetivo del presente estudio fue definir el perfil del usuario, en función de la calidad, satisfacción, valor percibido e inten- ciones futuras, analizando si éstas varían según el género, la edad y el nivel de antigüedad, en 481 socios de tres centros deportivos privados. Para ello, se les administró un cuestionario y se realizó una prueba t- para muestras independientes y un estudio de contraste grupo a grupo con la prueba t- del test de Scheffé y…
The Role of Searle's Constitutive Rules for the Rational Criticizability of Institutional Reality
2013
My hypothesis is that we can derive the normative conditions that institutions and institutional acts have to meet in order to be rationally acceptable/recognizable from the logical structure of institutional reality. Developing Searle's achievements on the constitutive role of speech acts in the construction of institutional reality and on their character of institutional acts, I'll show that the same types of constitutive rules underlying illocutionary acts also underlie institutional reality. I’ll then argue that we can derive a specific set of normative criteria for the rational criticizability of institutional acts from these constitutive rules in the same way that we can derive normat…
Theta power and theta-gamma coupling during formation of novel representations in the infant brain
2021
Item does not contain fulltext Building object representations is crucial for understanding the visual world, but it is not yet understood how infants start to form these representations. In adults, theta power is higher during presentation of stimuli that were later remembered, compared to those later forgotten (Friese et al., 2013), and the coupling between theta phase and gamma amplitude has been shown to be responsible for binding perceptual features to form representations. Theta-gamma coupling has been observed, for example, during the formation of visual associations (Köster, Finger, Graetz, Kater & Gruber, 2018), and was again higher for remembered than forgotten stimuli. Theta-gamm…
