Abstract:
Bakgrundsljud och hur det influerar människors uppmärksamhet är undersökt i ett flertal olika former. Vanligtvis genom att använda musik och tystnad som variabler för att jämföra effekten på en primär kognitiv uppgift. Eftersom all musik skapas med intentionen att lyssnas på, dvs. att dra uppmärksamheten till sig, söker denna studie att undersöka huruvida bakgrundsljud ligger till grund för olika reaktionstid beroende på om ljudet är artificiellt eller naturligt (ljud från naturen som en strömmande bäck jämfört med rosa brus). Genom att använda ett visuellt oddball-paradigm på ett reaktionstid

This paper presents a study in which three modified versions of a calibration interface for eye trackers has been designed and evaluated by nine participants with development disabilities.

Children's temperamental negative reactivity was found to moderate the effect of mothers' socialization attempts on children's regulatory behaviors, as suggested by previous theoretical and empirical work (e.g., Putnam, Sanson, & Rothbart, 2002; Rothbart & Bates, 1998).

Abstract:
Self-esteem involves a variety of cognitive processes that help people perceive, interpret, and process social information. A central component of people's self-esteem is their sense of belonging and feelings of acceptance. It follows that people react strongly to social rejection and that being attuned to signs of real or potential social rejection can serve a self-protection function. However, being overly attuned and sensitive to social rejection can have a paradoxical effect, whereby aberrant attentional processes can contribute to the perpetuation of the vicious cycle of low self-esteem.

Para alcanzar esta finalidad, se proponen dos ejes de indagación: 1) una investigación etnográfica para evidenciar el modo en que el pueblo indígena y los funcionarios del Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar (ICBF) interactúan desde las directrices de la atención diferencial; y 2)

Abstract:
Antecedentes y objetivos: el tempo cognitivo lento (TCL) se ha asociado, desde su definición, al trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad subtipo inatento (TDAH-I). Se han hallado síntomas TCL en el trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad subtipo combinado (TDAH-C), en otros trastornos psiquiátricos y en grupos clínicos sin trastorno mental. Existen correlaciones entre los síntomas de TCL y síntomas de ansiedad, depresión, dificultades de regulación emocional de emociones negativas, mayor sensibilidad al castigo, evitación social, bajo rendimiento académico y con un

Abstract:
El análisis de la atención que prestan los espectadores durante el consumo de contenidos de televisión es un aspecto fundamental para comprender los procesos de recepción de los medios. En esta tesis se realiza una investigación en torno a este tema que incluye una revisión de los diferentes modelos teóricos y metodologías empleados para su estudio, así como una propuesta teórica sobre los posibles efectos de las respuestas automáticas de atención en la motivación del espectador. En relación con ello, también se presenta una investigación experimental sobre los efectos de la imagen en alta def

Abstract:
We have combined a theoretical and experimental approach to study the biophysical substrates for the coding of orientation and contrast in the activity of V1 neurons. We first explore theoretically how the emerging activity in V1 depends on the input properties, single neuron input-output transfer-function properties and the connectivity pattern within V1. We explain the conditions on the different input sources in a hypercolumn model, that allow for both contrast-invariant orientation tuning width and sigmoid contrast response functions (CRF). We emphasize the role of the systems' components

Abstract:
With the recent evolution of mobile communication, there is a lack of understanding of increased radiofrequency (RF) exposure from these new technologies, especially among children. Little is known about the amount of RF exposure children experience day-to-day and its main sources. Furthermore, there is little understanding of RF dose during fetal life or RF dose to the brain during childhood. This thesis assessed environmental RF exposure and RF brain and body dose in children in several large, population-based cohort studies through personal exposure measurement studies and integrated ex
