Bērnības traumatiskas pieredzes un riska uztveres saistība cilvēkiem ar tetovējumiem un tetovēšanās motivācija

2021

Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai pastāv atšķirības starp bērnības traumatisku pieredzi un riska uztveri cilvēkiem ar tetovējumiem un cilvēkiem bez tetovējumiem, vai pastāv saistība starp bērnības traumatisku pieredzi un riska uztveri cilvēkiem ar tetovējumiem un kāda ir tetovēšanās motivācija un pieredze. Pētījumā piedalījās 147 respondenti vecumā no 19 līdz 59 gadiem, dalībnieku ar tetovējumiem izlasē piedalījās 55 respondenti (45 sievietes un 10 vīrieši) un dalībnieku bez tetovējumiem izlasē piedalījās 92 respondenti (76 sievietes un 16 vīrieši). Pētījuma dalībnieki aizpildīja Riska uztveres aptauju (Domain-Specific Risk-Taking Scale, DOSPERT), Bērnības traumas aptauju (Childhood Trau…

Changing forest stakeholders’ perception of ecosystem services with linguistic nudging

2019

This paper explores whether the perceptions of forest owners and professionals could be nudged towards more sustainable management practices by adjusting a policy text's metaphorical content. Recent research has demonstrated a link between information interventions and preference change, but there is a need to further explore individuals' reactions to information on forest-based ecosystem services and to link these to the design of policy instruments. We contribute to narrowing this gap by nudging the content of a policy text comparing rotation forest management (RFM) and continuous cover forestry (CCF), and exposing it to forest stakeholders. The research is carried out in Finland, the so-…

Voluntary Imitation in Alzheimer’s Disease Patients

2016

International audience; Although Alzheimer's disease (AD) primarily manifests as cognitive deficits, the implicit sensorimotor processes that underlie social interactions, such as automatic imitation, seem to be preserved in mild and moderate stages of the disease, as is the ability to communicate with other persons. Nevertheless, when AD patients face more challenging tasks, which do not rely on automatic processes but on explicit voluntary mechanisms and require the patient to pay attention to external events, the cognitive deficits resulting from the disease might negatively affect patients' behavior. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether voluntary motor imitation, i.e.…

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…

Mechanisms involved in the control of feeding behavior in relation to food flavor

2016

Revue; IntroductionIntake is one of the most essential behaviors, since human beings, like any living organism, require adequate nutrients for their survival. Ingestive behavior is controlled to maintain energy balance by peripheral and central mechanisms. When physiological needs are not being met, they will lead to motivation. Thus, being hungry will motivate us to find food, and the motivation will cease when needs are met. Ingestive behavior is thus initially due to a need related to internal signals (Fig. 10.1), in this case, hunger (physiological need) and appetite (urge to eat a food from which we expect pleasure and satisfaction). Sensory (visual, olfactory and, to a lesser extent, …

Imatge percebuda i imatge mental

2012

S'estudia el contrast entre el que es diu la posición Lockeana i la posición Berkeleyana sobre l'origen de la cognoció. La diferencia entre elles rau en el paper asignat al llenguatje respecte al coneixement. Aquest treball manté, no obstant, una posició híbrida. Se estudia el contraste entre lo que se ha venido a llamar posición Lokeana y la posición Berkeleyana, respecto del origen de la cognición. La diferencia entre las dos está en su diferente posición acerca del papel asignado al lenguaje para el conocimiento. Este trabajo explicará la posibilidad de una posición híbrida.

CHANGING PERSPECTIVE ON PERCEPTION PHYSIOLOGY: CAN YOU REALLY SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING?

2018

Perception is a complex, neural mechanism that requires organization and interpretation of input meaning and it has been a key topic in medicine, neuroscience and philosophy for centuries. Gestalt psychology proposed that the underlying mechanism is a constructive process that depends on both input of stimuli and the sensory-motor state of the agent. The Bayesian Brain hypothesis reframed it as probabilistic inference of previous beliefs, which are revised to accommodate new information. The Predictive Coding Theory proposes that this process is implemented through a top-down cascade of cortical predictions of lower level input and the concurrent propagation of a bottom-up prediction error …

Approche neuropsychologique du syndrome de Williams : Aspects-visuospatiaux

2009

International audience; Nous envisageons différentes dimensions de la cognition visuo-spatiale et visuo-constructive : le fonctionnement perceptif, les représentations spatiales et l’attention spatiale, la mémoire à court terme visuelle, les tâches visuo-constructives comme le dessin ou la construction de configurations avec des cubes. Nous discutons ensuite la question du traitement local et global des stimuli perceptifs et l’éventualité de déficits au niveau des fonctions exécutives qui pourraient expliquer les différences observées notamment dans le traitement global entre les personnes présentant un Syndrome de Williams (SW) et les personnes en développement normal. Enfin, les hypothèse…
