The relationship between cortisol and cognitive function in healthy older people: The moderating role of Apolipoprotein E polymorphism.
2018
The Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE-epsilon 4) allele has been suggested as the main risk factor for late onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), whereas the ApoE-epsilon 2 allele has been proposed as a protective factor. These proposals have increased the interest in the effect of the ApoE genotype in healthy people. Additionally, high cortisol levels have been related to negative effects on cognition. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between cognitive performance and cortisol, taking into account the different ApoE alleles. For this reason, the aim of this study was to evaluate different cognitive domains (declarative and working memory, attention, and executive function) and their…
Great Minds Think Alike? Spatial Search Processes Can Be More Idiosyncratic When Guided by More Accurate Information.
2022
Existing research demonstrates that pre-decisional information sampling strategies are often stablewithin a given person while varying greatly across people. However, it remains largely unknown whatdrives these individual differences, that is, why in some circumstances we collect information moreidiosyncratically. In this brief report, we present a pre-registered online study of spatial search. Usinga novel technique that combines machine-learning dimension reduction and sequence alignment algo-rithms, we quantify the extent to which the shape and temporal properties of a search trajectory areidiosyncratic. We show that this metric increases (trajectories become more idiosyncratic) when a p…
Emergence and development of joint attention in infancy
2013
La Atención Conjunta constituye la primera condición sobre la que se construye la comunicación. De ahí el enorme interés que despierta su estudio, dada su influencia sobre el desarrollo cognitivo, social, emocional, y lingüístico humano. Este artículo presenta una revisión de la investigación sobre la aparición y el desarrollo de la Atención Conjunta en la infancia, poniendo de relieve los principales elementos de debate sobre dicha temática. Comenzamos examinando el concepto de intencionalidad en la definición de la Atención Conjunta, para describir a continuación la secuencia de desarrollo de dicha capacidad. Finalizamos el trabajo ofreciendo algunos datos que relacionan la Atención Conju…
Direct intervention through biofeedback, to change disheartening conducts in a soccer goalkeeper
2017
El objetivo de este trabajo es describir una intervención, que buscaba modificar el comportamiento de un portero en relación con los errores que cometía, pues tras recibir un gol, se desanimaba y no dejaba de centrarse en el error cometido. Esta atención en el error cometido le hacía tardar de volver a tener un comportamiento adecuado para cumplir su función en el juego. Esta intervención se realizó mediante biofeedback, técnicas de control emocional y técnicas para el manejo de la atención y la concentración. Dado que es una intervención sobre un portero de 18 años de fútbol once, solicitada por el entrenador, se utilizó un estudio de caso único. De acuerdo con los resultados descriptivos …
Contribuições e efeitos dos videogames na atenção à diversidade
2021
[Resumen] Este artículo presenta los resultados de una revisión de la literatura sobre estudios centrados en las contribuciones y los efectos de los videojuegos en la atención a la diversidad. Para ello, se tomó como muestra las investigaciones recogidas en las bases de datos Scopus, wos, eric, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global (pqdt), Dialnet y csic-isoc y en los buscadores académicos Rebiun, Teseo y ScienceDirect. Después de considerar algunos aspectos del análisis bibliométrico, con el propósito de contextualizar la autoría y la procedencia de los artículos, se procedió a analizar en profundidad el contenido de los documentos seleccionados, de acuerdo con los objetivos de este estud…
Comorbilidad de TEA y TDAH: revisión sistemática de los avances en investigación
2016
La reciente publicación del DSM-5, introduce la novedad de aceptar la posibilidad de un diagnóstico comórbido de los Trastorno de Espectro Autista (TEA) y el Trastorno por Déficit de Aten- ción/Hiperactividad (TDAH). En este artículo se realiza una revisión de trabajos que han estudiado esta comorbilidad. Se revisaron un total de 28 investigaciones, estableciendo 4 temáticas diferentes. La investigación muestra tasas variables de comorbili- dad de TEA y TDAH dependiendo de la edad y procedencia de las mues- tras, y de los criterios diagnósticos empleados. Cuando se da la comorbili- dad de TEA y TDAH aumenta la severidad de la sintomatología autista y de trastornos externalizantes e internal…
Voices behind and beyond the label : the master narrative of ADHD (de)constructed by diagnosed children and their parents
2016
Artikkeliväitöskirja. Sisältää yhteenveto-osan ja neljä artikkelia. Article dissertation. Contains an introduction part and four articles. The dominant understanding of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is that of diagnosed children “suffering” from neurodevelopmental condition owing to which they are prone to develop adverse life trajectories. This master narrative of ADHD and psychomedical and normative discourses it adheres to and employs have been integrated into the daily activities of homes and schools. This compilation dissertation study employs a social constructionist discourse framework and is located in the intersection of the disciplines of disability studies and s…
PATRONES DIFERENCIALES ENTRE PADRES Y PROFESORADO EN LA DETECCIÓN DE TDAH
2015
INTRODUCTION . The diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity (ADHD) has increased in recent years. The criteria for ADHD have become clearer in the scientific community. However, it is a complex disorder that requires the participation of a multidisciplinary team for an appropriate diagnosis. METHOD . Taking as a sample (N = 331) 6 to 9 year-old students from Cuenca, this study analyzed the existence of differential patterns between the two ratings, using the EMA-D.D.A. Scales (Garcia-Perez y Magaz, 2006). Different approaches to hypothesis testing are used, and the internal consistency of the scales is valued. RESULTS . The differences observed suggest differential influen…
Gaze position reveals impaired attentional shift during visual word recognition in dysfluent readers
2014
Effects reflecting serial within-word processing are frequently found in pseudo- and non-word recognition tasks not only among fluent, but especially among dyslexic readers. However, the time course and locus of these serial within-word processing effects in the cognitive hierarchy (i.e., orthographic, phonological, lexical) have remained elusive. We studied whether a subject’s eye movements during a lexical decision task would provide information about the temporal dynamics of serial within-word processing. We assumed that if there is serial within-word processing proceeding from left to right, items with informative beginnings would attract the gaze position and (micro-)saccadic eye movem…
Shaping pseudoneglect with transcranial cerebellar direct current stimulation and music listening
2015
Non-invasive brain stimulation modulates cortical excitability depending on the initial activation state of the structure being stimulated. Combination of cognitive with neurophysiological stimulations has been successfully employed to modulate responses of specific brain regions. The present research combined a neurophysiological pre-conditioning with a cognitive conditioning stimulation to modulate behavior. We applied this new state-dependency approach to investigate the cerebellar role in musical and spatial information processing, given that a link between musical perception and visuo-spatial abilities and a clear cerebellar involvement in music perception and visuo-spatial tasks have …
