Expressing perception in parallel ways. Sentential Small Clauses in German and Romance
2021
This chapter compares Pseudo-relatives (‘PRs’), a construction found in most Romance languages, with ‘Subject-wieclauses’ (‘SWs’), a German construction in which the subject of an embedded wie-clause precedes the complementizer wie (‘how’; e.g. Ich sah Maria, wie sie sang, lit. “I saw Mary, how she sung”, i.e. ‘I saw Mary singing’). We show that both constructions mainly occur with perception verbs, and that they have a very similar syntactic behaviour; e.g., they can be coordinated with adjectival or prepositional small clauses and have anaphoric tense. Furthermore, they both have a clausal nature but can modify a DP. We thus propose to extend Casalicchio’s (2016) analysis of PRs to SWs: t…
"Boire un verre dans un bar...!" - Modulation de l'expérience d'un produit par le contexte. Apport de l'immersion à l'étude des influences contextuel…
2013
The overall aim of the present thesis is to study contextual influences on food behaviour (including variables coming from the environment and from the consumer). To this purpose, an immersive method using a space with physical elements was used, in order to evoke a realistic situation within a laboratory setting. Here, the method consisted in designing an immersive bar evoking the situation of “having a drink in a bar”. Two variants of the bar were created and five studies were implemented in these spaces to study how context influences food choices and evaluation. Our approach consisted in taking the product as central in the link between the consumer and the environment and not as a cont…
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 …
Évaluer le rôle de l’enseignant dans le niveau de développement des compétences non académiques des élèves à l’école primaire

Normality
2018
The chapter explicates the central resources that classical Husserlian phenomenology and its contemporary elaborations offer for the study of psychic disorders. We shall first discuss the phenomenological principles that enable analysis of the conditions and limits of experiencing and sense-constitution. We shall then clarify the concepts that phenomenologists have developed for the discussion of the normality and abnormality of experiencing—optimality and concordance—while also paying heed to the types of phenomena that classical and contemporary phenomenologists have tackled while developing their methods. In this vein, we will emphasize methodological factors that separate phenomenologic…
Predator mimicry, not conspicuousness, explains the efficacy of butterfly eyespots
2015
Large conspicuous eyespots on butterfly wings have been shown to deter predators. This has been traditionally explained by mimicry of vertebrate eyes, but recently the classic eye-mimicry hypothesis has been challenged. It is proposed that the conspicuousness of the eyespot, not mimicry, is what causes aversion due to sensory biases, neophobia or sensory overloads. We conducted an experiment to directly test whether the eye-mimicry or the conspicuousness hypothesis better explain eyespot efficacy. We used great tits ( Parus major ) as model predator, and tested their reaction towards animated images on a computer display. Birds were tested against images of butterflies without eyespots, wi…
Validación de una Medida de Clima de Servicio en las Organizaciones
2012
Service climate is critical for organizations pertaining to the service sector. It reflects the importance organizations attribute to service quality and efforts to please customers. Using previous work of Schneider, White, and Paul (1998) as starting point, this research validates a measure of service climate in the Spanish language. Data from two survey study projects were brought together. A total of 120 hotels, located in Spain, participated in the research. The sample consisted of 508 frontline hotel employees distributed in 152 work-units. Our results confirmed that construct and predictive validity are satisfactory, with four factors describing the facets of service climate: Global S…
Le sens du regard Contribution sémiotique à la technique de l'eye-tracking face aux packagings produits
2009
International audience; This work is presenting a semiotic point of view of a promising but problematic tool of the communication field -eye-tracking- which is used in various fields to track and exploit the eye-path on an object. Drawing form a list of eye-paths on various packagings, the first step of the analysis was the identification without theoretical a priori- of fixed patterns in these paths. Several models can then be inferred on how the order of acquisition of the elements of an image or a pack might have an influence on the construction of their overall meaning.; Ce travail propose un point de vue sémiotique sur un outil du champ de la communication prometteur mais problématique…
Entrenamiento perceptual, test de caras sonrientes
2016
Este software es una programa de entrenamiento perceptual con estímulos acromáticos de contraste variable, sobre ruído aleatorio sintonizado a una banda de frecuencia. La aplicación ha sido desarrollada dentro en el marco de un estudio sobre la ambliopía, realizado por la profesora Rosa Hernández, y está todavía en proceso de evaluación. This is perceptual training software using achromatic stimuli with variable contrast and random noise tuned to a particular frequency bandwith. This app has been developed in the context of a study of amblyopia, carried out by professor Rosa Hernández, and is still under testing.
The Australian Sheep-Goat Scale: An Evaluation of Factor Structure and Convergent Validity.
2018
The Australian Sheep-Goat Scale (ASGS) is a commonly used measure of belief in the paranormal. The scale contains items that index extrasensory perception (ESP), psychokinesis (PK), and life after death (LAD). Although, research employs the ASGS as both a general (unidimensional) and factorial (multidimensional) measure, few studies have examined the appropriateness of these solutions. Accordingly, the present paper tested the psychometric integrity of the ASGS via two studies. Study 1 assessed ASGS factorial structure using confirmatory factor analysis. To achieve this, merging of ASGS data from previously published studies and ongoing work created a heterogeneous sample of 1,601 responses…
