Sensory Processing Disorders in Children and Adolescents: Taking Stock of Assessment and Novel Therapeutic Tools
2022
Sensory processing disorders (SPDs) can be described as difficulty detecting, modulating, interpreting, and/or responding to sensory experiences. Because SPDs occur in many individuals with autism spectrum disorder and in other populations with neurodevelopmental disorders, it is important to distinguish between typical and atypical functioning in sensory processes and to identify early phenotypic markers for developing SPDs. This review considers different methods for diagnosing SPDs to outline a multidisciplinary approach useful for developing valid diagnostic measures. In particular, the advantages and limitations of the most commonly used tools in assessment of SPDs, such as caregiver r…
Behavioral Restriction Determines Left Attentional Bias: Preliminary Evidences From COVID-19 Lockdown
2021
International audience; During the COVID-19 lockdown, individuals were forced to remain at home, hence severely limiting the interaction within environmental stimuli, reducing the cognitive load placed on spatial competences. The effects of the behavioral restriction on cognition have been little examined. The present study is aimed at analyzing the effects of lockdown on executive function prominently involved in adapting behavior to new environmental demands. We analyze non-verbal fluency abilities, as indirectly providing a measure of cognitive flexibility to react to spatial changes. Sixteen students (mean age 20.75; SD 1.34), evaluated before the start of the lockdown (T1) in a battery…
Hating Adolescents Test (HAT): a preliminary development of a measure to assess hating among adolescents
2020
The phenomenon of haters is becoming common among adolescents. The aims of the present research were to evaluate the preliminary psychometric properties of the Hating Adolescents Test (HAT), an ad hoc questionnaire created to evaluate online and offline hate (Study 1), and possible risk factors connected with hate (Study 2). Participants (202 female and 200 male) of this study completed the HAT, the How I Think Questionnaire, the Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire, and the Penn State Worry Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were applied. Preliminary data suggest how males reported higher level of hate than…
Diez ideas potenciadoras para rendir al máximo en el deporte
2020
El objetivo principal del presente trabajo es el planteamiento de una propuesta práctica de ideas potenciadoras en el deporte. Parte de la base de la Psicología Cognitiva que plantea que existe una interpretación de los acontecimientos que influyen en las emociones y la conducta, y la Psicología Positiva que se centra en lo que se pretende conseguir en lugar de modificar aquello que funciona mal. Se toma como base las teorías cognitivas clásicas y más significativas, junto con diversas estrategias cognitivo-conductuales para aplicar conjuntamente a la implementación de estas ideas en el entorno deportivo. Este tipo de herramientas aplicadas son cada vez más necesarias para profesionales de …
Gestalt Theory, Data Decomposition and Functional Architecture in Visual Neuroscience
2013
Classical and recent result about neuronal properties, and their functions and architectural design prompted claims to bring gestalt theory to bear on neurosciences reserach. It is deemed to contribute to understand brain mechanism through descriptions of visual functions expected to be wired in the brain. The standard models of data decomposition and functional architecture in visual neuroscience are discussed. Such issues as visual primitives identification and neuronal activity integration in gestaltist terms are introduced.
Long-Term Efficacy of Psychosocial Treatments for Adults With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Meta-Analytic Review
2018
Background: Recent evidence suggests that psychosocial treatments, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), are effective interventions for adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The objective of this review was to determine the long-term efficacy of psychosocial interventions in improving clinically relevant variables, including ADHD core symptoms, clinical global impression (CGI), and global functioning. Methods: In total, nine randomized controlled trials and three uncontrolled single-group pretest-posttest studies were included. The data from these studies were combined using the inverse variance method. Heterogeneity and risk of bias were assessed. Subgroup anal…
Watersport and juvenile criminal justice: social projects for individual and community well-being
2023
Background:Intervention projects in social and psychological fields envisage actions aimed at creating a network not only among institutions and informal support but also an opportunity for the promotion of well-being, individuals and communities. Methods:This project was based on an active and individual-centered approach that involved in 2020, 6 young people from the Palermo Juvenile Prison, involving their awareness and participation in planned activities that involved the use of a water sport (snorkeling) to offer them an opportunity for change.

Evaluacion de los riesgos psicosociales y comportamentales asociados a la siniestralidad en el sector del transporte urbano de viajeros
2015
El tema a tratar en este trabajo es el estudio y análisis de los riesgos psicosociales y comportamentales ligados a la siniestralidad. Estos riesgos psicosociales ligados a la siniestralidad se refieren a la respuesta de seguridad de los diversos agentes de la empresa y su percepción de los riesgos y una finalidad básica de esta tesis es explorar la relación entre ellos y su relación con la siniestralidad laboral en el sector del transporte urbano de viajeros. Aunque el concepto de riesgos psicosociales es más amplio, abarcando también el estrés, el acoso y variables semejantes, en esta tesis vamos a ocuparnos de la respuesta de seguridad y de la percepción de riesgos como elementos ligados…
