Towards practical reflexivity in online discussion groups
2017
This paper continues the discussion about student-driven, interactive learning activities in higher education. Using object-oriented activity theory, the article explores the relational aspects of reflexive practice as demonstrated in five online discussions groups to develop students’ conceptual understanding. The purpose of the research is to describe both the process of reflection during online interaction and how practical engagement with the discipline is supported through pedagogical guidance. The students wrote short texts on the practice of health promotion ethics and discussed their perspectives in relation to theory and research. The analysis proved the importance of structural de…
Cognitive processes related to problematic pornography use (PPU): A systematic review of experimental studies
2021
Highlights • Some people experience symptoms derived from pornography viewing. • Cognitive processes may be related to the development of Problematic Pornography Use (PPU). • We performed a systematic review of 21 studies exploring cognitive processes related to PPU. • We identified 4 cognitive processes relevant for the development and maintenance of PPU.

Facilitating Team Reflexivity About Communication
2016
This article explores how team facilitation can promote team reflexivity about communication. We present a case study that was conducted within a participatory action research framework with a Top Management Team for an international manufacturing company. We identify and analyze five key interventions that promoted team reflexivity. These interventions included activities such as (a) framing the facilitation, (b) inquiring into the key issues, (c) role modeling feedback, (d) positive storytelling, and (e) reflecting on concrete communication actions. The findings suggest that reflexivity can be enhanced through positive storytelling and emotion, framing and contextual sensitivity, and add…
Techniques for Learning Scientific Knowledge from Texts
2019
Este estudio analiza la eficacia de orientar la lectura y el aprendizaje de conocimiento científico mediante la técnica de responder preguntas abiertas (RPA) frente al uso de técnicas cuya responsabilidad de comprensión recae en el propio lector, entre ellas, las auto- explicaciones (AE). Noventa y un estudiantes de tercer curso de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria fueron evaluados inicialmente en conocimientos previos y, posteriormente, asignados aleatoriamente a las condiciones experimentales (AE, RPA). La fase experimental fue realizada en un entorno electrónico y con el texto disponible. Un día después, los estudiantes realizaron una prueba de aprendizaje con preguntas abiertas base-del-…
Sākumskolas skolēnu izziņas darbības aktivizēšana latviešu valodas stundās 3.klasē
2019
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Sākumskolas skolēnu izziņas darbības aktivizēšana latviešu valodas stundās 3. klasēs.” Bakalaura darbu veido trīs nodaļās. •Pirmajā nodaļā tiek izmantota teorētisko avotu apkopojošā analīze- psiholoģijas un pedagoģijas zinātnieku atziņas par izziņas aktivitāti, tās attīstību. •Otrajā nodaļā tiek apskatīts jautājums, kā latviešu valodas stundās pēctecīgi attīstīt sākumskolas skolēniem 3. klasē izziņas darbības. Pētījums balstās uz autoritātēm, kuru aprakstītie paņēmieni un metodes attīsta skolēnu vēlmi un interesi mācīties un apgūt valodas. •Trešajā nodaļā ir apkopoti empīriskā pētījuma rezultāti. Tika izvirzīta hipotēze, ka jaunākā skolas vecuma bērnu izziņas aktivi…
Individual differences in affective and cognitive processing of musical pitch
2012
Musical pitch processing has been studied extensively, but rarely in the context of affective pitch processing, or of individual differences in pitch processing. In this study, participants answered surveys measuring personality and empathy dimensions. They then listened to tonal chord sequences to determine whether they sounded correct or incorrect, and whether they sounded happy or sad, while electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded. The last chord of each sequence could be either incorrect (containing one note which is out of tune) or correct (containing no such mistuning), and affective content was varied by having sequences resolve in major and minor modes. Personality dimension agreeab…
Electrophysiological evidence for the effectiveness of images versus text in warnings
2023
AbstractWarning sign plays an important role in risk avoidance. Many studies have found that images are better warnings than text, while others have revealed flaws of image-only warning signs. To better understand the factors underlying the effectiveness of different types of warning signs (image only, text only, or image and text), this study adopted event-related potential technology to explore the differences at the neurocognitive level using the oddball paradigm and the Go/No-go paradigm. Together, the behavioral and electroencephalogram results showed that text-only warnings had the lowest effectiveness, but there was little difference between the image-only and image-and-text warnings…
The Contribution of Event-Related Potentials to the Understanding of Sign Language Processing and Production in the Brain : Experimental Evidence and…
2022
Functional neuroimaging allows investigation of the timing properties of the brain mechanisms underlying covert language processing. This paper presents a review of the use of the neuroimaging technique called Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) in sign language (SL) research. In the field of neurolinguistics, ERPs have been widely used in the study of spoken language, but their use in SL is still rare. Studying the neurocognitive aspects of SL could lead to a better understanding of the specific processing of SL in the brain. This review outlines the basic theoretical and methodological principles of ERPs. We focus on three groups of ERPs that are particularly relevant to SL processing and pro…
