Is Embodiment All That We Need? Insights from the Acquisition of Negation
2012
Simulation of propositional content does not sufficiently explain real-life linguistic activity, even for action-related language. In addition, how we get from propositional content to implicit and inferential meaning needs to be explained. Indeed, simulative understanding is immediate, automatic and reflex-like while an explicit interpretative act, even if not always needed, is still a part of many linguistic activities. The aim of this paper is to present the hypothesis that speaking is a complex ability realized by means of at least two different mechanisms that are likely developed at different and consecutive steps of cognitive and linguistic development. The first mechanism has a neur…
La educación lectora, literaria y el libro en la era digital
2016
Los autores estudian la relacion entre las transformaciones de las tecnologias de la informacion y la comunicacion en relacion con la recepcion y produccion de textos desde la educacion lectora y literaria contemporanea. Con este objetivo revisan diferentes conceptos clave en este nuevo escenario comunicativo, como lectura, lector o practicas y habitos de lectura en relacion y apuntan su influencia para los objetivos de la formacion lectora y literaria. Asimismo, reflexionan en torno a los retos que estas modificaciones implican para la disciplina y sus objetivos basicos y abogan por la necesaria vinculacion entre las competencias mediatica, digital, lectora, literaria y comunicativa para p…
Testing audiovisual comprehension tasks with questions embedded in videos as subtitles: a pilot multimethod study
2017
<p>Listening, watching, reading and writing simultaneously in a foreign language is very complex. This paper is part of wider research which explores the use of audiovisual comprehension questions imprinted in the video image in the form of subtitles and synchronized with the relevant fragments for the purpose of language learning and testing. Compared to viewings where the comprehension activity is available only on paper, this innovative methodology may provide some benefits. Among them, it could reduce the conflict in visual attention between watching the video and completing the task, by spatially and temporally approximating the questions and the relevant fragments. The technique…
Azorín y la “historia menuda” de España: una lectura de Los pueblos (1905)
2015
El propósito de este trabajo es proponer una lectura de Los pueblos (1905) desde el punto de vista del historiador; concretamente, desde la perspectiva de dos corrientes historiográficas —la microhistoria y la history from below— surgidas en Europa durante los años setenta con el objetivo fundamental de recuperar al individuo anónimo como sujeto histórico, prestando atención a las “clases subalternas” de la sociedad. Mediante el análisis de dicha obra, mi intención es demostrar que la concepción que tiene Azorín de la historia de España responde a una idea fundamental: la necesidad de conceder la atención que merecen a los pequeños hechos y sucesos de la vida cotidiana protagonizados por in…
La figurazione dello spazio architettonico di Gaspare De Fiore
2017
Dal 1967, anno in cui Gaspare De Fiore pubblicò La figurazione dello spazio architettonico, ad oggi sono trascorsi esattamente 50 anni, eppure l’opera conserva la medesima fresca attualità che fu possibile rilevare leggendola per la prima volta durante gli anni della nostra formazione. Nell’affrontare il problema dello spazio architettonico De Fiore distingue tra la sua ideazione e la sua rappresentazione, segnatamente affrontando il secondo argomento da molteplici punti di vista e lungo un arco temporale che abbraccia l’intera storia dell’uomo, dalla pittura preclassica all’arte contemporanea, passando attraverso la rappresentazione dell’architettura in epoca romana, le dinamiche concettua…
The distributions of protein coding genes within chromatin domains in relation to human disease.
2019
Abstract Background Our understanding of the nuclear chromatin structure has increased hugely during the last years mainly as a consequence of the advances in chromatin conformation capture methods like Hi-C. The unprecedented resolution of genome-wide interaction maps shows functional consequences that extend the initial thought of an efficient DNA packaging mechanism: gene regulation, DNA repair, chromosomal translocations and evolutionary rearrangements seem to be only the peak of the iceberg. One key concept emerging from this research is the topologically associating domains (TADs) whose functional role in gene regulation and their association with disease is not fully untangled. Resul…

Which Factors Modulate Letter Position Coding in Pre-literate Children?
2021
One of the central landmarks of learning to read is the emergence of orthographic processing (i.e., the encoding of letter identity and letter order): it constitutes the necessary link between the low-level stages of visual processing and the higher-level processing of words. Regarding the processing of letter position, many experiments have shown worse performance in various tasks for the transposed-letter pair judge-JUDGE than for the orthographic control jupte-JUDGE. Importantly, 4-y.o. pre-literate children also show letter transposition effects in a same-different task: TZ-ZT is more error-prone than TZ-PH. Here, we examined whether this effect with pre-literate children is related to …
