A poorly understood aspect of deaf people (DP) is how their emotional information is processed. Verbal ability is key to improve emotional knowledge in people. Nevertheless, DP are unable to distinguish intonation, intensity, and the rhythm of language due to lack of hearing. Some DP have acquired both lip-reading abilities and sign language, but others have developed only sign language. PERVALE-S was developed to assess the ability of DP to perceive both social and basic emotions. PERVALE-S presents different sets of visual images of a real deaf person expressing both basic and social emotions, according to the normative standard of emotional expressions in Spanish Sign Language. Emotional expression stimuli were presented at two different levels of intensity (1: low; and 2: high) because DP do not distinguish an object in the same way as hearing people (HP) do. Then, participants had to click on the more suitable emotional expression. PERVALE-S contains video instructions (given by a sign language interpreter) to improve DP’s understanding about how to use the software. DP had to watch the videos before answering the items. To test PERVALE-S, a sample of 56 individuals was recruited (18 signers, 8 lip-readers, and 30 HP). Participants also performed a personality test (High School Personality Questionnaire adapted) and a fluid intelligence (Gf) measure (RAPM). Moreover, all deaf participants were rated by four teachers for the deaf. Results: there were no significant differences between deaf and HP in performance in PERVALE-S. Confusion matrices revealed that embarrassment, envy, and jealousy were worse perceived. Age was just related to social-emotional tasks (but not in basic emotional tasks). Emotional perception ability was related mainly to warmth and consciousness, but negatively related to tension. Meanwhile, Gf was related to only social-emotional tasks. There were no gender differences.
«El sexo anatómico, la identidad, la preferencia sexual y el comportamiento masculino y femenino, son todas cualidades independientes que se combinan de formas diversas para distintas personas».Rachel Pollack 1 INTRODUCCIÓNHemos escrito este artículo con tres propósitos fundamentales: (1) romper la dicotomía tradicional entre el discurso «científico» y el «humanístico», (2) centrar el estudio desde la concepción de que los humanos formamos un continuum con el resto de los organismos del planeta y (3) manifestar un respeto absoluto a las creencias de cada uno, utilizando los datos aquí aportados como fuente para la reflexión y el debate pero nunca con el objetivo de convencer, dogmatizar y menos discriminar. Con esos planteamientos hemos dividido el trabajo en los siguientes apartados: -Nosotros los organismos: una aproximación a la biología -Concepto de sexo y de sexualidad -Identidad de género y papel de género -Orientación sexual -Sexo, género y neurociencias NOSOTROS LOS ORGANISMOS: APROXIMACIÓN A LA BIOLOGÍAEn general, cuando abrimos un libro de biología o le pedimos a un biólogo que nos defina su disciplina, lo habitual es que nos encontremos con frases como ésta, la Biología es la ciencia de la vida. Lo malo es que esta definición, automáticamente, nos lleva a otra pregunta todavía más difícil de contestar: ¿qué es
In the last three decades, childhood obesity has become a 21st century epidemic, a product of social development. The purpose of this study was to analyze the repercussions that overweight and obesity have for the basic motor skills of a group of children in primary school, as well as their interrelations. We analyzed a sample of 287 students from Spain, aged between 8 and 12 years. Anthropometric data were taken to determine their Body Mass Index (BMI). A scale of assessment of basic motor skills was used to evaluate their motor skills. The BMI data revealed that 11% of this sample was considered obese, and 26% was overweight. Children showed higher competence in locomotor skills than in object control and turn and rolling skills, for which motor competence levels were lower. Likewise, there was an inverse relationship between BMI and basic motor skills; children with obesity had the lowest levels of motor skills, and there was a significant difference regarding non-obese children (p ≤ 0.05). These results showed that overweight and obese children have lower basic motor skills, which can lead to the abandonment of physical activity and the preference for other activities that reinforce a sedentary lifestyle.
A new didactic method for the apprenticeship of histological images is presented. A goal in a cours of Histology is to learn how to identify histological images.
