“…But since simply impoverishing visual stimuli to render them faint or invisible (i.e., subjectively undetectable) will very likely eliminate any possible visual processing as a consequence, different strategies have been developed with the objective of testing what types of visual information are prioritised when entering awareness. The aim of these strategies is dissociating sensory processing and awareness; this is based on the assumption that by suppressing a stimulus from awareness while keeping the sensory stimulation intact, one can learn about the aspects of visual processing that do not require awareness to unfold (the dissociation paradigm [22,23]), or may be prioritised for entering awareness [24,25].…”

Human faces convey essential information for understanding others’ mental states and intentions. The importance of faces in social interaction has prompted suggestions that some relevant facial features such as configural information, emotional expression, and gaze direction may be processed unconsciously, yielding preferential access to awareness. This evidence has predominantly come from interocular suppression studies, with the most common method being the Breaking Continuous Flash Suppression procedure, which measures the time it takes different stimuli to overcome interocular suppression. Stimuli that overcome suppression faster arguably gain access to awareness faster. However, the procedures employed in such studies suffer from multiple methodological limitations. For example, they are unable to disentangle detection from identification processes, their results may be confounded by participants’ response bias and decision criteria, they typically use small stimulus sets, and some of their results attributed to detecting high-level facial features (e.g., emotional expression, gaze direction) may be confounded by differences in low-level visual features (e.g., contrast, spatial frequency). In this article, we review the evidence on whether relevant facial features promote access to awareness, we discuss the main limitations of the most popular methods used in the field, and we propose strategies to address these issues.

“…La ignorancia se apoya en la existencia de un mecanismo cognitivo que regula el ocultamiento de información no deseada (Beevers & Scott, 2001) respecto a su congruencia con el contenido de la representación (Augusto, 2016) produciendo lo que se conoce como efecto Dunning-Kruger, concebido como el desconocimiento de la propia ignorancia (Dunning, 2011) que al adherirse a la estructura de la representación fomenta el desconocimiento en la sociedad (Brey, Antoni;Innerarity, Daniel;Mayos, 2009).…”

Resumen. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar las representaciones sociales de la investigación que tienen los estudiantes universitarios matriculados en el proceso de titulación en la Universidad Técnica de Machala con la finalidad de detectar los sentidos errados que testimonien el desconocimiento aprendido. La metódica de investigación fue cualitativa. Se trabajó con 140 estudiantes matriculados en el proceso de titulación de la precitada universidad, de los cuales el 40% eran del sexo femenino y el 60% masculino. La distribución por unidades académicas fue la siguiente: 36% pertenece a ciencias empresariales, 50% a ciencias sociales, 8% ingeniería civil, 4% ciencias agropecuarias y el 2% a ciencias químicas y de la salud. La selección fue a través de un muestreo opinático intencional. Se aplicó un cuestionario sobre representaciones de la investigación, mediante formulario digital. Como estrategia de validez se empleó la triangulación de investigadores y la devolución de los hallazgos a los informantes. Se identificó que la ignorancia inconsciente está enraizada en la normatividad metodológica como condicionante ontológico y gnoseológico de la investigación, develándose como síntomas los siguientes: asepsia ideológica de la investigación, Reduccionismo del saber y negación de lo múltiple, transferencia acrítica del método, el experto como actor de la investigación. Se concluyó la conformación de la ignorancia inconsciente nace de la adopción y legitimación acrítica del método, que sostiene que investigar es una consecuencia del método y de la presencia de sus actores, hecho que contradice la noción constructiva, ideológica e interaccional de la investigación. La rigidez de estos conceptos, hace que el objeto de estudio sea forzado a entrar en el canon metódico como garantía de cientificidad.

The aim of this study was to analyze the social representations of research held by university students enrolled in the certification process at Universidad Técnica de Machala to detect the misconceptions that prove the learned ignorance. The research design was qualitative. We worked with 140 students. Forty percent of the students were female, and sixty percent of them were male. Students belonged to different Colleges; Business Administration (36%), Social Sciences (50%), Civil Engineering (8%), Agricultural Sciences (4%), and Chemistry and Health Sciences (2%). We selected the participants through an intentional opinion sampling. Data was collected by having the students complete an online questionnaire about the representations of research. The validity of the data was guaranteed by triangulation of researchers and the return of the findings to the informants. The results
