THE CIVIC SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS OF CONTEMPORARY SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE ASPECT OF THE HUMANISTIC PARADIGM OF EDUCATION
2020
Civic self-consciousness is a topical issue in present-day Latvia. After regaining of independence and joining the European Union, there appeared an opportunity to ensure real freedom and genuine democracy for all inhabitants in Latvia. Thus, new conditions were created for the development of civic self-consciousness in senior secondary school students. New guidelines are developed in the European system of education according to the new understanding of humanism. The key reference-point is the understanding that the main goal of education is to support the development of personality that will become an EU citizen and a professional. The study established that it is necessary to develop ci…
Turing's Error-revised
2016
Many important lines of argumentation have been presented during the last decades claiming that machines cannot think like people. Yet, it has been possible to construct devices and information systems, which replace people in tasks which have previously been occupied by people as the tasks require intelligence. The long and versatile discourse over, what machine intelligence is, suggests that there is something unclear in the foundations of the discourse itself. Therefore, we critically studied the foundations of used theory languages. By looking critically some of the main arguments of machine thinking, one can find unifying factors. Most of them are based on the fact that computers canno…
¿Naturalismo «blando»? En torno al estatuto epistemológico de la teoría moral de Jürgen Habermas
2018
The aim of this paper is to discuss whether the concept “soft naturalism” used by Habermas to define his explanation of freedom and moral consciousness is compatible with his earlier thought. To do so, it will be showed a chronological view of Habermas’s arguments against scientism, secondly Habermas’s traditional explanation of moral consciousness will be outlined, and finally it will be argued that this explanation is incompatible with the position of “soft naturalism”. El presente artículo persigue discutir si la expresión “naturalismo blando”, utilizada por Habermas para defi nir su explicación de la libertad y la conciencia moral, es o no consistente con su pensamiento anterior. Para e…
Expertise and becoming conscious of something
2022
Becoming conscious refers to how new mental content emerges in the mind. To understand this phenomenon, we studied how people experience graffiti by thinking aloud. In protocols, we found three types of becoming conscious: experiencing emotional and perceptual content directly linked to a perceivable object, non-perceivable or apperceived information content, and transformation and restructuring processes. On the grounds of the content-based study of protocols, we suggest that people can become conscious of either direct perception, apperception, or restructuring thinking. Research of the mind, which is grounded in analysis and explained by properties of mental content, can be called conten…
La lecture lacanienne du roman durassien "Le Ravissement de Lol V. Stein" : l'expérience « autre » de l’inconscient et du langage
2020
Inscribed in human condition, Loss is an integral part of Duras’s work. It is a leitmotif of the novel Le Ravissement de Lol V. Stein (The Ravishing of Lol Stein), in which the feeling of love is shown as ambivalent, connected − on the one hand − with ecstasy, admiration and exaltation, and on the other – with suffering, loneliness, pain and absence. Considered from the Lacanist perspective, the text allows us to see the originality of Duras’s prose, which involves capturing the unspeakable, the thing that escapes rational analysis and conventional writing technique: the subconscious. The author refers to it both in the thematic and stylistic layers, thus emphasizing the fragmentary nature …
¿Pueden los juegos mejorar la habilidad lectora?
2017
Investigaciones recientes han mostrado que las habilidades lectoras pueden ser moduladas mediante el entrenamiento en juegos/videojuegos. Dado que un déficit en atención visual puede ser causante de la dislexia, el entrenamiento en videojuegos puede mejorar la atención visual, lo cual puede ayudar al tratamiento de la dislexia. Pero también un juego de mesa como es el Scrabble puede mejorar las habilidades lectoras: los jugadores expertos de Scrabble tienen unas destrezas ortográfico-léxicas más eficientes que los no expertos. Trabajos futuros han de centrarse en examinar qué beneficios aporta el entrenamiento mediante juegos/videojuegos en la mejora del aprendizaje lector.
Detección temprana de la dislexia mediante el reconocimiento de voces
2015
Un aspecto clave para la intervención educativa específica es la detección temprana de niños con riesgo de dislexia. En este trabajo presentamos una sencilla tarea conductual de asociación de voces (modalidad auditiva) con avatares (modalidad visual), en la que las personas con dislexia muestran un rendimiento más bajo que las personas normo-lectoras. Dicho patrón de datos ocurre no solamente con lectores adultos, sino también con niños. Por tanto, esta tarea de integración multisensorial puede ser empleada como un marcador de la dislexia, en conjunto con otras tareas (v.g., conocimiento fonológico).
Un pequeño aumento en el espaciado entre letras favorece la lectura en niños disléxicos
2012
Varias investigaciones recientes han mostrado que un ligero aumento del espaciado entre las letras (respecto al espaciado estándar) produce tiempos de lectura más rápidos en los niños con dislexia, así como mejoras en la comprensión de los textos. Si bien el aumento en el espaciado de las letras no “cura” la dislexia, sí permite una mejora en el proceso de lectura. Es importante remarcar que la posibilidad de modificar el espaciado entre letras se encuentra disponible en los programas de procesamiento de texto. Creemos que dicha opción debería estar disponible próximamente en los libros electrónicos.
Music and Dissociation : Experiences Without Valence? 'Observing' Self and 'Absent' Self
2013
Empirical studies of music listening in everyday life frequently frame individuals' experience of music primarily in terms of emotion and mood. Yet emotions - at least as represented by categorical and dimensional models of emotion - do not account for the totality of subjective experience. This is particularly apparent in the case of a range of so-called 'alternate' or 'altered' states of consciousness including 'flow', aesthetic and spiritual expe-riences. Some researchers have responded by highlighting the process of absorption (effortless attention) within significant experiences of music. To date however, the role of dissociation (detachment), the counter-part of absorption, has receiv…
Le dégoût pour la raison face à la réalité sociale du XXe siècle dans des écrits choisis de Marguerite Duras
2020
One of the important problems raised in the works by Marguerite Duras is a specific opposition to rationalism, understood as the loss of meaning and absurdity of human existence in the face of the tragedy of World War Two. In this way, the author presents her attitude to Nazi barbarism, and in a broader context to the history of mankind. Her texts − exposing the writer’s doubts and obsessions − express the lack of logic of the world, the painful awareness of the inevitability of misfortune, existential emptiness, and the powerlessness of a man towards his own impotence. By rejecting “material life”, Duras’s work resounds with the contestation of rationalism illustrating the paradoxes of the…
