The Bias toward the Right Side of Others Is Stronger for Hands than for Feet
2021
As shown by a series of previous studies, ambiguous human bodies performing unimanual or unipedal actions tend to be perceived more frequently as right-handed or right-footed rather than left-handed or left-footed, which indicates a perceptual and attentional bias toward the right side of others&rsquo
Interruptions to workflow: Their relationship with irritation and satisfaction with performance, and the mediating roles of time pressure and mental …
2013
Understanding the mechanisms of workflow interruptions is crucial for reducing employee strain and maintaining performance. This study investigates how interruptions affect perceptions of performance and irritation by employing a within-person approach. Such interruptions refer to intruding secondary tasks, such as requests for assistance, which occur within the primary task. Based on empirical evidence and action theory, it is proposed that the occurrence of interruptions is negatively related to satisfaction with one's own performance and positively related to forgetting of intentions and the experience of irritation. Mental demands and time pressure are proposed as mediators. Data were g…
Percepción del estudiante sobre el entorno educativo clínico en asignaturas prácticas en programas académicos de salud: revisión bibliográfica
2019
El ambiente educacional refleja las condiciones a las que se somete un estudiante dentro de su proceso formativo; en etapas prácticas, dada la ausencia de aulas intermediarias y contextos tradicionales de formación, habitualmente se desestima cual es el impacto de un ambiente favorecedor, e inclusive, el propio cumplimiento de los estándares de aprendizajes asociados a cada programa de asignatura dentro del proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje. Esto ocurre aun cuando su análisis positivo refleje un listado indiscutible de beneficios que trascienden al contexto educativo y que incluso puede impactar esferas personales del desarrollo profesional. El objetivo de esta revisión bibliográfica fue doc…
The Educational Multimedia Clip as a Tool for Students’ Self-learning on Concept Mapping
2016
It has been already justified that concept mapping is an exceptionally suitable tool for formative assessment of structural knowledge. However, before the implementation of such type of assessment, the teacher should decide on a reasonable students’ training strategy, its implementation way, and content to be delivered. The paper focuses especially on the last mentioned issue - the selection of the content and its representational forms for an educational multimedia clip that has been developed as a main tool for students’ self-learning on concept mapping before the regular concept map based formative assessment of structural knowledge in one of the author’s taught study courses. Content re…
Free Entrance Comes at a Price. An Exploration of Some Perceptions of Museums and Monuments Audiences
2006
This paper considers the theme of audiences' perceptions of free of charge entrances in nationalFrench museums and monuments. It relies partly on the results stemming from a study made atthe request of the Département des Etudes et Prospectives of the French Ministère de la Cultureet de la Communication. The results show that, from an individual perspective, perceptions offree entrance are linked to perceptions of price, of money and of the act of payment, hencecomplementing perceptions expressed by the audiences in a collective perspective, generally putforward by advocates and opponents of free entrance in their discussions. In an individualperspective, exemption from payment is perceived…
Geography of Emotions Across the Black Mediterranean: Oral Memories and Dissonant Heritages of Slavery and the Colonial Past
2019
AbstractThis contribution is dedicated to analysing oral memories about the Black Mediterranean through interviews with people from or culturally linked to the Horn of Africa. The aim is to consider how the interviewees make use of archives to voice their feelings about the past and present in Africa and Europe. I introduce the concept of a “geography of emotions” as a set of different perceptions of Europe and its past. The mobilization of these memories in new interpretative perspectives is part of a dissonant heritage which is actively working inside the European borders in order to produce new cultural identities, to reiterate forms of belonging to black diasporic communities, and to in…
La perception phonémique en français des apprenants polonophones (le cas des voyelles antérieures de moyenne aperture : [e][ɛ])
2017
The perception of sounds of a foreign tongue influences the quality of comprehension and speaking in the language, as well as learning how to read and write properly. The differentiation and identification of sounds enables the development of aural-verbal memory, subsequently associating particular sound patterns with particular meanings. In other words, a developed perception of sounds ensures an efficient communication in a foreign language. Since learners perceive foreign sounds with varied proficiency, the teacher should recognize the difficulties and undertake remedial measures to facilitate learning progress. This article aims to present an educational tool, currently in development, …
Sonority as a Phonological Cue in Early Perception of Written Syllables in French
2020
Many studies focused on the letter and sound co-occurrences to account for the well-documented syllable-based effects in French in visual (pseudo)word processing. Although these language-specific statistical properties are crucial, recent data suggest that studies that go all-in on phonological and orthographic regularities may be misguided in interpreting how—and why—readers locate syllable boundaries and segment clusters. Indeed, syllable-based effects could depend on more abstract, universal phonological constraints that rule and govern how letter and sound occur and co-occur, and readers could be sensitive to sonority—a universal phonological element—for processing (pseudo)words. Here, …
Sensory-active compounds influencing wine experts' and consumers' perception of red wine intrinsic quality
2015
© 2014 Elsevier Ltd. There is a lack of studies focusing on the chemical compounds involved in quality perception. The present work combines both sensory and chemical approaches with the final goal of evaluating the sensory-active compounds influencing wine experts' and consumers' perception of red wine quality. Perceived quality was categorised by 108 consumers and 119 experts according to four levels going from very low to very high quality. In parallel, samples were described by a descriptive trained panel and volatile and non-volatile chemicals with known sensory activity were quantified. Wines with higher concentrations of eugenol, E- and Z-whiskylactones and 4-ethylphenol (discussed i…
Do Women Prefer More Complex Music around Ovulation?
2012
The evolutionary origins of music are much debated. One theory holds that the ability to produce complex musical sounds might reflect qualities that are relevant in mate choice contexts and hence, that music is functionally analogous to the sexually-selected acoustic displays of some animals. If so, women may be expected to show heightened preferences for more complex music when they are most fertile. Here, we used computer-generated musical pieces and ovulation predictor kits to test this hypothesis. Our results indicate that women prefer more complex music in general; however, we found no evidence that their preference for more complex music increased around ovulation. Consequently, our f…
