Mirror neurons : physiological requirement for emotional empathy and social and moral behaviour of human and nonhuman primates
2018
Fil: Claramonte Sanz, Vicente. Universitat de València. Departament de Filosofia. Área de Lògica i Filosofia de la Ciència; España. Claramonte Sanz, V. (2018). Las neuronas espejo: presupuesto fisiológico de la empatía emocional y de las conductas sociales y morales en primates humanos y no humanos. Metatheoria, 8(2), 15-22. A partir de la evidencia científica y los análisis debidos a los estudios de investigadores como Rizzolatti, Sinigaglia, Galle-se, Goldman, Iacoboni, etc., este artículo argumenta que el vínculo entre neuronas espejo y empatía emocional resulta corroborado por los estudios de Neurociencia sobre la actividad perceptiva y las reacciones emocionales. En particular, con las…
Contribution of executive functions to eating behaviours in obesity and eating disorders.
2020
AbstractBackground:Patients with eating disorders (ED) or obesity show difficulties in tasks assessing decision-making, set-shifting abilities and central coherence.Aims:The aim of this study was to explore executive functions in eating and weight-related problems, ranging from restricting types of ED to obesity.Method:Two hundred and eighty-eight female participants (75 with obesity; 149 with ED: 76 with restrictive eating, 73 with bingeing-purging symptoms; and 64 healthy controls) were administered the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, the Iowa Gambling Task, and the Group Embedded Figures Test to assess set-shifting, decision-making and central coherence, respectively.Results:Participants wi…
Obstacles modelling reality: Two exploratory studies on physics defined and undefined problems
2014
For some researchers, and perhaps for many teachers, problem-solving is strongly related to thinking (Mayer, 1983). Several reports highlight the importance of developing suitable skills to solve complex, ill-defined and boundless real-life problems in educated people (NSF Standards, U.S. Department of Labour, ABET engineering accreditation organization, and American Institute of Physics, mentioned in Etkina & Van Heuvelen, 2007; Bureau of Labour Statistics, U.S. Department of Labour, 2014; Competency Model Clearinghouse, 2012). Problem-solving is virtually the core of the professional activity of a physicist (Etkina, Van Heuvelen, White-Brahmia, Brookes, Gentile, Murthy, Rosengrant & Warre…
Technition: When Tools Come Out of the Closet
2020
People are ambivalently enthusiastic and anxious about how far technology can go. Therefore, understanding the neurocognitive bases of the human technical mind should be a major topic of the cognitive sciences. Surprisingly, however, scientists are not interested in this topic or address it only marginally in other mainstream domains (e.g., motor control, action observation, social cognition). In fact, this lack of interest may hinder our understanding of the necessary neurocognitive skills underlying our appetence for transforming our physical environment. Here, we develop the thesis that our technical mind originates in perhaps uniquely human neurocognitive skills, namely, technical-reas…
Developing a conceptual framework : the case of MAGICC
2015
This paper reports the steps taken to develop the conceptual framework of the MAGICC project (2013), which aimed to provide action-oriented descriptions of multilingual and multicultural academic and professional communication competence, instructional designs to promote these in higher education language teaching, and multidimensional forms of assessment aligned with the learning outcomes established – all presented in an academic ePortfolio that expands the features of the existing European Language Portfolio (ELP) to the higher education level. “Starting with systematic desk research into the existing conceptualisations of multi/plurilingual and multi/ intercultural competences as well a…
Cognición social y habilidades de comunicación en adultos jóvenes con síndrome de Asperger
2017
Abstract: The aim of this study is to compare patients with Asperger syndrome (AS) and control participants on social cognition tasks and communication skills. Twenty young adults were assessed in three social cognition domains; recognition of basic emotions, recognition of complex emotions and Theory of Mind (ToM). In addition participants completed a self-report questionnaire as a measure of social communication skills. The results indicate that adults with AS perform below neurotypical control participants in emotion processing, ToM and communication skills. There were no significant correlations between the variables of social cognition and communication skills in the group of AS. Taken…
Mutiskās prezentācijas prasmes angļu valodā akadēmiskai un profesionālai izmantošanai
2020
Prezentācijas prasmēm ir liela loma akadēmiskajā un profesionālajā jomā, jo tās palīdz informēt un izglītot, kā arī nodot vēstījumu auditorijai un attiecīgi iespaidot auditorijas reakciju uz vēstījumu. Bakalaura darba galvenais mērķis bija izpētīt kā prezentāciju prasmju apgūšana akadēmiskajā vidē palīdz sagatavoties prezentēšanai profesionālajā vidē. Literatūras analīze, anketēšana un novērošana tika izmantota kā galvenās pētniecības metodes. Prezentāciju un aptaujas analīze atklāja, ka prezentācijas prasmes var tikt izmantotas, lai ieinteresētu, pārliecinātu un izglītotu cilvēkus, un ir spēju kopums, kas palīdz mijiedarboties, nodot vēstījumu un sazināties ar publiku. Pētījumā secināts, k…
Las habilidades comunicativas básicas en la inserción profesional. Intervención con estudiantes del Grado de Administración y Dirección de Empresas
2014
This research is a study on communication skills, skills needed in professional insertion. Our starting point is a consideration of what is demanded in today's society, what companies ask for when hiring students after college and how students should prepare for their working lives. The most necessary skills in the workplace are analyzed and explained through a study of students in the final year of the Bachelor of Administration and Management, using questionnaires and conducting a workshop coordinated by two qualified educational specialists. We find that in addition to language skills, skills in information technology and communication, the ability to adapt to new situations and initiati…
Relational priming is to analogy-making as one-ball juggling is to seven-ball juggling
2008
Relational priming is argued to be a deeply inadequate model of analogy-making because of its intrinsic inability to do analogies where the base and target domains share no common attributes and the mapped relations are different. The authors rely on carefully handcrafted representations to allow their model to make a complex analogy, seemingly unaware of the debate on this issue 15 years ago. Finally, they incorrectly assume the existence of fixed, context-independent relations between objects. Although relational priming may indeed play some role in analogy-making, it is an enormous – and unjustified – stretch to say that it is “centrally implicated in analogical reasoning” (sect. 2, para…
La voz como instrumento clave en la competencia comunicativa del docente universitario
2019
Actualmente, el perfil del profesor universitario engloba el desarrollo de competencias en áreas tan diferentes como complementarias: la docencia, la investigación y la gestión. En este trabajo se presenta una aproximación teórica al estado del arte respecto a las competencias del profesorado universitario en cuanto a su actuación docente. En concreto, se aborda la competencia comunicativa entendida como: a) la capacidad de formar enunciados que no solo sean gramaticalmente correctos sino también socialmente apropiados (Hymes, 1971) y b) el conjunto de conocimientos y destrezas/habilidades lingüísticas, discursivas, socioculturales que permiten la actuación eficaz y adecuada del hablante en…
