Download or read book Estudio de la memoria y la orientaci n espacial en el ser humano written by María Rosa Cánovas López and published by Universidad Almería. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La memoria espacial es la parte de la memoria encargada del recuerdo de toda la información que tiene que ver con el espacio en el que nos movemos y nuestro lugar dentro del mismo, por lo que resulta una de las funciones clave para poder desenvolvernos en nuestro día a día. Los estudios realizados con modelos animales en diversos paradigmas de aprendizaje, como la piscina de Morris y el laberinto radial, han aportado la mayor parte del conocimiento que tenemos en la actualidad sobre la memoria y la orientación espacial, proporcionando además pruebas irrefutables del papel crítico que desempeña la formación hipocampal en estas habilidades cognitivas. Desafortunadamente, las tareas de orientación espacial en humanos permanecieron poco desarrolladas hasta hace relativamente pocos años. Un acontecimiento clave para el progreso en su estudio fueron los avances en el desarrollo de las técnicas de realidad virtual, las cuales han permitido la creación de entornos virtuales en los que investigar la cognición espacial destacando aquellos entornos que se basan en paradigmas de aprendizaje utilizados en roedores. Estas tareas han demostrado ser sensibles no sólo en la medición de la orientación espacial en humanos, sino también al efecto que ejercen sobre la misma las lesiones o alteraciones hipocampales, incluso las modificaciones hipocampales menores como las existentes entre individuos de distinto sexo. Sin embargo, una de las mayores desventajas de las tareas desarrolladas hasta la fecha es la limitada capacidad de regulación de los niveles de dificultad de la tarea a las capacidades de la muestra de estudio. El trabajo de la presente tesis doctoral se ha orientado al desarrollo y validación de una novedosa tarea de realidad virtual denominada la "Sala de las Cajas", basada en modelos animales que permite regular la dificultad y facilita la comparativa entre especies. A lo largo de los cuatro estudios que componen la presente tesis doctoral se demuestra que la "Sala de las Cajas" constituye una herramienta fiable, fácil de administrar y de rápida adquisición para la investigación del aprendizaje y la memoria espacial en humanos. Los resultados confirman la utilidad de adaptar la dificultad de la tarea a las características de la muestra de estudio. En este sentido, se demuestra que las diferencias entre ciertas poblaciones y condiciones ambientales sólo emergen ante niveles adecuados de dificultad. Además, la tarea permite configurar las características del entorno, demostrando que el número y la localización de las pistas disponibles son importantes atributos a considerar en la investigación de la navegación espacial humana. La validez de la tarea se ha visto confirmada primero por la correlación positiva de la "Sala de las Cajas" con la adaptación virtual de la piscina de Morris, uno de los paradigmas más empleados para el estudio de la memoria espacial y la navegación en humanos y roedores; segundo, al demostrar, en un estudio realizado con pacientes con lesiones del lóbulo temporal, que el hipocampo es esencial para la correcta ejecución de la tarea en línea con otros estudios en animales y humanos y, por último, al revelar también nuestra tarea el dimorfismo sexual ampliamente constatado en memoria espacial.

Download or read book Attention deficit Disorders and Comorbidities in Children Adolescents and Adults written by Thomas E. Brown and published by Elsevier España. This book was released on 2000 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incidence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), with an estimated 5% of the population affected, is on the rise. Of those 5%, more than half must also cope with one or more comorbid disorders of learning, emotion, and behavior—complicating ADHD diagnosis and treatment. The challenge for clinicians is to treat not just ADHD, but also the psychiatric disorders and comorbid disorders that often accompany it. Edited by a leading researcher and practitioner, Attention-Deficit Disorders and Comorbidities in Children, Adolescents, and Adultsbrings together the work of 25 distinguished contributors—all on the cutting edge of ADHD research. The past decade of research and clinical experience has shown that ADHD is far from the simple disorder, starting in childhood and remitting in adulthood, it was once thought to be. Divided into two main sections, this volume includes a chapter on each of the psychiatric disorders and comorbidities that often occur with ADHD. • In the first section, "ADDs With Comorbidities," the editor introduces readers to ADHD by talking about our emerging understanding of and the latest genetic research on ADHD. The author of each subsequent chapter shows how ADHD interacts with mood and anxiety disorders, oppositionality and aggression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, learning disorders, substance abuse disorders, sleep disturbances, Tourette syndrome, and developmental coordination disorder. This section concludes with two final chapters: one on assessing and treating ADDs in preschoolers and the other on different treatment outcomes as reported in existing longitudinal studies of ADDs. • The second section, "Assessments and Interventions for ADDs", includes in-depth chapters on clinical assessment and diagnosis, pharmacotherapy, psychosocial and educational interventions, and a cognitive therapy perspective on ADHD. This section wraps up by emphasizing the importance of tailoring treatment to the individual as a whole, considering not only comorbidities but also family and social settings. Heavily annotated and written with practical implications for both clinicians and educators in mind, this comprehensive volume demonstrates a scope and depth unparalleled within the current literature. As such, it will find its way into the libraries of professionals and interested laypersons alike: clinical psychiatrists and psychologists; pediatricians, family practitioners and other primary care physicians who treat children, adolescents, and adults; education professionals, including school nurses, special education teachers and administrators, and college and university disability services personnel; and juvenile justice system professionals, including clinical and social workers and administrators.

Download or read book S pero no La poes a de B cquer written by Giannina Braschi and published by Costa-Amic Editores. This book was released on 2022-05-27 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las rimas de Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, así como su obra en prosa, ponen de relieve la polaridad, la contradicción, el continuo vaivén de la esperanza y la desilusión. La estructura de sus poemas responde, en la medida de su lógica interna (sí/pero no), a la misma ley de contradicción que existe en los estratos profundos del espíritu. El problema de la vida y el amor se plantea y se une con su visión del mundo. La vida, o la experiencia, puede ser bella o fea, buena o mala. Toda experiencia abre una última dualidad insuperable, que desgarra la unidad de la existencia. En su coyuntura interna, lo uno anula lo otro; un mismo objeto o sentimiento puede ser motivo de entusiasta afirmación y al mismo tiempo de apasionada negación. Su poesía es delirio alegre o reconcentrado dolor; el ritmo psicológico oscila entre impulsos contrarios. La acumulación de las antítesis profundiza los estados internos. El alma se debate entre opuestos: la razón y la pasión; la alegría y el dolor; la esperanza y la desesperanza.

Download or read book Latin American Military and Politics in the Twenty first Century written by Dirk Kruijt and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-22 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a comparative analysis of the role of the military in Latin America in domestic politics and governance after 2000. Divided into four parts covering the entirety of Latin America, the book argues that the Latin American military as semi-autonomous political actors have not faded away since 2000 and may even have been making a comeback in various countries. Each part outlines scenarios which effectively frame the various pathways taken to post-military democratic society. Part 1 critically examines textbook cases of political demilitarization in the Southern Cone, Peru, and Costa Rica. Part 2 contrasts the role of the military in the post-2000 politics of two regional powers: Brazil and Mexico. Part 3 examines the political role of the military facing ‘violent pluralism’ in Colombia and the Northern triangle of Central America. Finally, Part 4 identifies country cases in which the military have been instrumental in the rise, sustenance, and occasional demise of left wing revolutionary projects within Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Bolivia. Latin American Military and Politics in the Twenty-First Century will be of interest to scholars, students and professionals in the fields of Latin American history, international relations, military studies and studies concerning democracy, political violence and revolution in Latin America elsewhere.

Download or read book Sites of Memory in Spain and Latin America written by Marina Llorente and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-09-03 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sites of Memory in Spain and Latin America isa collection of essays that explores historical memory at the intersection of political, cultural, social, and economic forces in the contexts of Spain and Latin America. The essays here focus on a variety of forms of memory—from the most concrete to the performative—that resist forgetting and unite individuals against hegemonic memory. The volume comprises four thematic sections that focus on Chile, Spain, Argentina, Venezuela, Mexico, Peru, and the Dominican Republic. Keeping in line with the concept informing this collection, that the past returns politically to haunt the present, the four sections move from the contemporary context to the colonial and pre-Columbian eras in Latin America. For all its diversity, the researchers’ interdisciplinary methodology displayed in this collection brings to light processes that would otherwise have remained illegible under a more narrow interpretative approach to historical memory. This volume focuses on the processes of remembering in geographies that have been transformed by violence and conflict in Spain and Latin America. In the cases investigated witnessing, trauma, and testimony speak to the urgency of truth and justice; historical memory, therefore, is ultimately a political act.
