The inhibitory effect of long-term associative representation on working memory
2020
Studies on how long-term memory affects working memory (WM) have found that long-term memory can enhance WM processing. However, these studies only use item memory as the representation of long-term memory. In addition to item memory, associative memory is also an essential part of long-term memory. The associative memory and item memory involve different cognitive mechanisms and brain areas. The purpose of the present study was to investigate how associative memory affects WM processing. Before the WM task, participants were asked to store 16 pairs of dissimilar pictures into long-term memory. The participants would obtain the associative memory of these pairs of pictures in the long-term …
Työelämäyhteistyö ammattikorkeakouluopettajan osaamishaasteena
2019
Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin ammattikorkeakouluopettajien työelämäyhteistyön osaamishaasteita. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin yksilö- ja ryhmähaastatteluilla, joihin osallistui 16 eri alojen ammattikorkeakouluopettajaa. Aineisto analysoitiin temaattisella analyysillä. Työelämäyhteistyön osaamishaasteina tulivat esille muutos koulutuksen ja työelämän suhteissa, verkostomainen opettajuus, monipuolisten taitojen hallinta ja pedagogiikan uudistaminen. Ammattikorkeakouluopettajien työelämäyhteistyö edellyttää uusien taitojen omaksumisen lisäksi yhteisöllisyyden kehittämistä niin työelämän kuin opiskelijoidenkin kanssa.
Technostress and social networking services: Explaining users' concentration, sleep, identity, and social relation problems
2018
It is common for users of social networking sites and services (SNS) to suffer from technostress and the various associated strains that hinder their well‐being. Despite prior SNS stress studies having provided valuable knowledge regarding SNS stressors and their use consequences, they have not examined the various strains related to well‐being that those stressors can create nor the underlying SNS characteristics. To address this gap in the research, we used a qualitative approach involving narrative interviews. As a contribution, our findings reveal four types of strains related to well‐being (concentration problems, sleep problems, identity problems, and social relation problems) as well…
Reading changes in children and adolescents with dyslexia after transcranial direct current stimulation.
2016
Noninvasive brain stimulation offers the possibility to induce changes in cortical excitability and it is an interesting option as a remediation tool for the treatment of developmental disorders. This study aimed to investigate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on reading and reading-related skills of children and adolescents with dyslexia. Nineteen children and adolescents with dyslexia performed different reading and reading-related tasks (word, nonword, and text reading; lexical decision; phonemic blending; verbal working memory; rapid automatized naming) in a baseline condition without tDCS and after 20 min of exposure to three different tDCS conditions: left …
Sosiaaliset taidot ovat entistä tärkeämpiä työelämässä
2018
Teknologiset innovaatiot muovaavat yhä voimakkaammin työmarkkinoita, kun koneet ja robotit ottavat hoidettavakseen työtehtäviä. Osa työelämässä aiemmin vaadituista taidoista vanhentuu tai muuttuu hyödyttömiksi, ja tilalle nousee uusia osaamistarpeita. Eräs oletettavasti korostuva taito on kyky toimia sosiaalisissa tilanteissa. Tuloksemme osoittavatkin, että Suomen työmarkkinoilla viime vuosikymmeninä yhä suurempi osuus työpaikoista on ollut sellaisia, joissa vaaditaan hyviä sosiaalisia valmiuksia. Sosiaalisemmat henkilöt myös tienaavat muita enemmän, ja tämä ansioero on kasvanut entisestään viime vuosina. nonPeerReviewed
Heijastavatko työn ja perheen yhteensovittamisen kokemukset yksilön elämänarvoja?
2014
Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin yksilön elämänarvojen yhteyttä työn ja perheen välisen ristiriidan ja rikastavuuden kokemuksiin. Analyysit perustuivat 50-vuotiaisiin Lapsesta aikuiseksi - pitkittäistutkimuksen osanottajiin (n = 156, 53 % miehiä). Schwartzin (1992) menetelmällä tarkastellut elämänarvot olivat hyväntahtoisuus, universalismi, turvallisuus, yhdenmukaisuus, hedonismi, itseohjautuvuus, suoriutuminen, stimulaatio, traditiot ja valta. Suoriutuminen ja universalismi olivat myönteisesti yhteydessä sekä työn ja perheen välisen ristiriidan että rikastavuuden kokemuksiin. Sen sijaan stimulaatio oli myönteisesti yhteydessä vain ristiriidan ja yhdenmukaisuus vain rikastavuuden kokemuksi…
Attenzione e prestazione
2012
L'attenzione è uno dei processi cognitivi più complessi. È un presupposto di tutte le altre attività psichiche – memoria, percezione, apprendimento, problem solving. L'attenzione si riferisce alla selettività del processo di elaborazione. Il fatto di stare attenti implica infatti, la necessità di selezionare soltanto una porzione degli innumerevoli stimoli che possiamo percepire coi nostri sensi, guardando, toccando, ascoltando, annusando o assaggiando. L’attenzione implica il distogliere il pensiero da alcune cose per dedicarsi selettivamente ad altre. Dunque, c’è una quantità finita di cose a cui possiamo prestare attenzione nello stesso momento. Ciò accade perché il nostro cervello possi…
Barriers and (im)mobility in Rio de Janeiro
2016
In Rio de Janeiro, immobility or the share of people with no journeys on any given day is very high (46%). Immobility has a marked geographical dimension in what is a segregated city. But income has only limited explanatory power. The population structure, with high proportions of people who are not in the labour force and who are unemployed, accounts for the high levels of immobility in the poor districts. Although population structure effects prevail, spatial factors such as the severance effect also account for differences between districts. Indeed, Rio de Janeiro features many different types of barriers that affect immobility in several districts and for several population groups. The…
Bond and work ruptures in group counseling
2021
Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the immediate effects of group counseling ruptures. Group ruptures were defined as discrepancies between (1) the member’s bonding and working ratings in a session and the member’s average bonding and working across all sessions, (2) the member’s bonding and working in a session and the group-as-a-whole’s (across all members and sessions) bonding and working, and (3) the member’s average bonding and working across all sessions and the group-as-a-whole’s bonding and working. Method: Participants were 232 counseling students (199 women and 33 men; age: M = 22.78, SD = 3.51) who participated in one of 13, 7-session, interpersonal process groups. At…
Defining collaboration rules in mechatronic Industry
2011
Small and medium companies in order to survive in the global market should promote the creation of partnerships and business networking. Thanks to business networks, in fact, they can reach efficiencies, improve their knowledge and increase their degree of internationalization. The industrial district is a very common type of business network model, especially in Italy. Belonging to an industrial district increases companies inclination to sign inter-firm collaboration contracts such as alliances, outsourcing and joint ventures. However, some Italian districts, mostly those recently constituted and localized in the south of Italy, such as the Sicilian Mechatronic District (SMD), lacks of ac…
