ABSTRACT Visual search is an attentional process that requires the subject to search for a target among distractors. Failures in this process are associated with a variety of difficulties that manifest in different stages of development. They are often assessed using Conjunction Visual Search tasks. Despite this, few studies have analysed the errors committed in these tasks during development in detail. The purpose of this study is to analyse the types of errors associated with developmental changes in school-age children. Our hypotheses are that younger children would present more errors than older ones; there would be more omission errors than commission errors; younger children would commit more omission errors than older ones; and omission errors would increase as the number of distractors increased. The study results have shown that errors tend to decrease throughout development. Specifically, commission errors remain stable according to the number of distractors and task complexity, while omission errors increase according to these variables. These results provide evidence indicating that error types are based on different cognitive processes.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the inability to feel pleasure towards music — or musical anhedonia — is part of the psychological construct of anhedonia (DSM-5) or whether they are both independent constructs, as suggested by the field of cognitive neuroscience. To assess this objective, six unpublished musical compositions were created to evoke basic emotions. We analysed the level of arousal and valence in a sample of 153 music professionals and 303 students (M = 17.58 years, SD = 4.16) and were able to verify a high consistency between the results of both groups. By using a structural equation model, we subsequently observed a statistically significant high correlation (r = .63, p < .001) between the latent means of valence (pleasure evoked by musical fragments) and levels of social anhedonia, measured by the Anticipatory and Consummatory Interpersonal Pleasure Scale (ACIPS). Furthermore, social pleasure maintained inverse correlations with the emotions of negative valence (Anger, Fear and Disgust) provoked by musical fragments, which allowed us to conclude that musical anhedonia is strongly related to social anhedonia.
本研究的目的是评估无法感受到音乐的愉悦——或音乐快感缺乏症——是快感缺乏症心理结构(DSM-5)的一部分,还是像认知神经科学领域所建议的那样,它们都是独立的结构。为了评估这一目标,研究人员创作了六首未发表的音乐作品,以唤起人们的基本情感。我们分析了153名音乐专业人士和303名学生(M = 17.58岁,SD = 4.16)的唤醒和效价水平,并能够验证两组结果之间的高度一致性。通过结构方程模型,我们随后观察到效价的潜在手段(由音乐片段引起的愉悦)与社会快感缺缺性水平(由预期和圆满的人际愉悦量表(ACIPS)测量)之间具有统计学显著的高相关性(r = 0.63, p < 0.001)。此外,社交愉悦与音乐片段引发的负效价情绪(愤怒、恐惧和厌恶)保持负相关,这使我们得出结论,音乐快感缺缺性与社交快感缺缺性密切相关。

ABSTRACT This systematic review aimed to find attitudes towards Altruistic and Game-playing love styles across individualistic and collectivistic cultures. Addressing major moderators concerning Altruistic and Game-playing love styles are the secondary objectives of this review. This review included 102 articles comprising samples from 37 countries (N = 41,997). The findings of this meta-analysis show that there is a collectivistic and individualistic difference in Game-playing but not in the Altruistic love style. Collectivistic and individualistic cultures, on average, demonstrate the same perception concerning the Altruistic love style, whereas collectivistic culture shows the Game-playing love style more strongly. To explain the role of moderators in key measures, the subgroup analysis and meta-regression show that both Game-playing and Altruistic love styles decline by increasing the length of the relationship. Likewise, having children affects these love styles such that the Altruistic love style is improved and the Game-playing love style is reduced by the presence of children in families.

ABSTRACT This study investigates whether autistic participants are able to respond in a similar way to neurotypical (NT) participants in a novel visual irony task presented in an app format, and whether their verbal abilities can affect its comprehension. Twenty British children between eight and 16 years old — nine of them with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders, ASD, and 11 NT — completed the tasks. A second group also emerged due to their verbal IQ. Autistic children were able to understand the fundamental basis of irony presented in a visual format. This design, based on visual forced-choice response that shows all the information at once, would be a suitable format to focus the attention of autistic individuals on important details and therefore decrease the working memory load.

ABSTRACT Behavioural problems in childhood are frequently maintained through relational patterns such as escalation, but can be abandoned through family therapy and a conversational process of co-construction of agreements on relational preferences (RP). Using micro-analytic discursive methods, we identified 27 micro-conversational practices that can serve as realizers of change. We organized these micro-practices in an emerging taxonomy that includes different levels, focuses and modes as they appeared in the change process. Our results help to better understand the change process through the concept of reflexivity stemming from family therapy theory. We discuss the relationship between our results and therapeutic alliance, and how they can be used as an initial model for a dynamic change sequence, which could be empirically validated in the future.

ABSTRACT This study analyses the relative incidence of visual-motor processes compared to other cognitive processes involved in spelling, to understand its relevance in orthography acquisition in school-aged children when contextual variables are controlled for and there has been explicit instruction. A sample of 96 students between third and sixth grade of primary education was divided into two groups according to their spelling performance (low and high performance). They were all assessed in rapid naming, vocabulary, visual and auditory working memory, visual-motor integration and intelligence. Results show that visual-motor integration and auditory working memory differentiate the low and high performance groups, being the variables that best predict spelling. The relationship between auditory working memory and visual-motor integration appears to establish when the word is being incorporated into the child’s lexicon. These results have important educational implications referred to teaching spelling through handwriting when its use is being debated against the use of digital technologies for writing acquisition.

ABSTRACT Several studies indicate that the capacity for retaining visual content in long-term memory (LTM) is almost unlimited and vastly superior to the storage capacity for verbal data. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the fidelity of visual memory in adults and older adults and compare it with that of young adults. A Visual Long-Term Memory Test (VLT-MT) was developed in which the participants viewed 512 images, divided into two groups of 256 figures, and performed a subsequent forced-choice task after viewing each group. The results also indicate that the semantic category to which the stimulus belonged influenced the performance of the subjects, and that the capacity to recognize a given object diminished as the number of figures from the same category increased.

ABSTRACT Identification of the basic competencies needed to address the challenges that today’s society presents has always been central to educational research. Contemplative education is a recent field of research that is based on the development of spiritual competence in educational contexts. Its purpose is to promote useful social and personal skills to foster a more aware, harmonious and sustainable future society. This article outlines a conceptual approach to spirituality and spiritual competence based on the field of educational psychology, and describes their main components and their definition. Contemplative education is associated with a particular way of understanding the relationship between subject and object of knowledge. The scientific evidence available on the effectiveness of training programmes based on one of its most widespread secular manifestations (mindfulness) is critically reviewed, and the relationship between contemplative education and spiritual tradition is briefly addressed. Finally, the authors comment on some interesting aspects to consider for the design of future research.
