Androcentrismo en la asistencia: un estudio exploratorio sobre los sesgos en la atención a pacientes con fibromialgia
2011
El artículo trata de desvelar los condicionantes de género en la asistencia médica. Para ello se ha realizado un estudio sobre la fibromialgia, una dolencia muy desconocida, que mayoritariamente afecta a las mujeres, por lo que podría constituir un caso paradigmático de la construcción de género y de los sesgos androcéntricos en la ciencia médica. Los resultados muestran que en los patrones de socialización diferenciales, en los modelos de masculinidad y feminidad y en el reparto de roles sexuales se puede encontrar la respuesta a algunas de las diferencias y desigualdades que surgen en atención médica. The article attempts to reveal gender-based determining factors in medical care. For thi…
Machine Translation and Gender biases in video game localisation: a corpus-based analysis
2021
The video game industry has been a historically gender-biased terrain due to a higher number of male protagonists and hypersexualised representations [Dietz, 1998; Downs & Smith, 2010; Lynch et al., 2016]. Nowadays, echoing the debate on inclusive language, companies attempt to erase gender disparity by introducing main female characters as well as non-binary characters. From a technological point of view, even though recent studies show that Machine Translation remains largely unadopted by individual video game localisers [Rivas Ginel, 2021], multilanguage vendors are willing to invest in these tools to reduce costs [LIND, 2020]. However, the predominance of the masculine in Natural La…
Modulation of attention by socio-emotional scenes in children with autism spectrum disorder
2017
Background: Abnormal attentional processes to socially relevant information may underlie social impairment in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). To examine how these processes are modulated by the emotional salience of the stimuli, we studied the attentional biases to social scenes (happy, sad, and threatening) in ASD children. Method: An emotional dot-probe task was applied to children (from 6 to 12 years old) with Autism Spectrum Disorder without additional language and/or intellectual impairments (ASD; n=25) and age/sex-matched controls (n=25). Results: ASD children showed an attentional bias toward threatening scenes while typically developing children tended to direct their attention towa…
Inhibitory priming in auditory word recognition: Is it really the product of response biases ?
2007
Les études en amorçage phonologique ont révélé des temps de réponse plus lents lorsque des mots cibles sont précédés d’une amorce partageant avec eux les premiers phonèmes. Cependant, l’interprétation de l’effet d’amorçage inhibiteur est source de controverses. Alors que certains auteurs ont interprété l’effet comme reflétant des processus lexicaux, Pitt et Shoaf (2002) ont émis l’hypothèse que l’effet résulterait d’une surprise des participants lorsqu’ils rencontrent le premier essai relié. Pour éviter un tel biais de réponse, nous avons inclus des amorces et des cibles reliées dans la session d’entraînement, et nous avons comparé comme l’ont fait Pitt et Shoaf, l’amplitude de l’effet sur…
