El Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) y el Trastorno del Desarrollo del Lenguaje (TDL) presentan perfiles conductuales solapados, lo que dificulta su diagnóstico temprano. Este estudio combina técnicas de eye-tracking con Machine Learning Explainable (MLX) para identificar patrones de exploración visual diferenciadores en niños con TEA, TDL y des...

Purpose Developmental language disorder (DLD) and autism sometimes appear as overlapping conditions in behavioral tests. There is much literature on the visual scanning pattern (VSP) of faces in autistic children, but this is scarce regarding those with DLD. The purpose of this study was to compare the VSP of faces in young children with DLD, those...

Transdiagnostic group cognitive behavioural therapy (TD-GCBT) is more effective in improving symptoms and severity of emotional disorders (EDs) than treatment as usual (TAU; usually pharmacological treatment). However, there is little research that has examined the effects of these treatments on specific symptoms. This study used Network Interventi...

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and specific language impairment (SLI) exhibit serious social-emotional difficulties from early infancy which hamper the differential diagnosis of these two conditions. This review aims at analysing differences between ASD and SLI disorders in children from 0 to 12 years regarding emotional competence ab...

Background Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) demonstrate distinctive scanning of faces, which has been suggested as an obstacle to social expertise, hindering their lifelong social relationships. Method This study aimed at comparing social attention in young children with and without ASD (N = 34). We designed two eye-tracking paired pr...

Emotional competence (EC) refers to a set of skills to identify, understand, and respond to one’s own emotions and those of others. It plays a fundamental role in socialization processes, where children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and specific language impairment (SLI) show marked deficits. However, due to the similarities between these tw...

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are associated to social attention (SA) impairments. A gaze bias to non-social objects over faces has been proposed as an early marker of ASD. This bias may be related to the concomitant circumscribed interests (CI), which question the role of competing objects in this atypical visual behavior. The aim of this study...

Trastorno específico del lenguaje (TEL) y trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) son trastornos del neurodesarrollo muy similares a edades tempranas, lo que dificulta el diagnóstico diferencial temprano. El fenómeno ‘migración diagnóstica’ alude al cambio diagnóstico por evolución del trastorno o modificación de criterios diagnósticos, instrumentos o...

La formación inicial y permanente del profesorado constituye una herramienta clave para lograr una enseñanza de calidad.

El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar cómo percibe sus niveles de Inteligencia Emocional (IE) y Emp...

Parents and teachers are concerned about the academic outcomes of children. Among the variables that play an important role in school success, parenting styles and behavior problems are some of the most studied. Literature shows that presence of behavioral problem and parenting styles based on physical punishment, lack of consistency and ineffectiv...

The study examines the influence of induced negative mood on dictator game giving (DGG) with two recipients. Participants (N = 63) played the role of a dictator in a three-player dictator game. They could choose among two options: an altruistic option, where two receivers receive 10 Euros and the dictator himself receives nothing, or a selfish opti...

En este artículo reflejamos un trabajo de coordinación y sistematización en torno al aprendizaje cooperativo en las aulas del primer curso de los Grados en Educación Primaria y en Educación Infantil. Hemos considerado tanto el ámbito del aprendizaje y la enseñanza del alumnado como también el desarrollo profesional del profesorado universitario. He...

Background: Currently, there is a strong movement to implement mindfulness interventions with young people. The objective of this randomised clinical trial was to assess the potential effects of a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) programme for adolescent outpatients in mental health facilities in Cordoba, Spain. Method: A total of 101 a...

De acuerdo con la literatura, uno de los objetivos fundamentales del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior es que el alumnado debe desarrollar una serie de competencias, siendo agentes activos de su propio conocimiento, primando el aprendizaje por descubrimiento guiado por el profesor. Siguiendo esta línea, desarrollamos un proyecto de innovación d...

Objective: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) appears frequently in cancer survivors, but not all survivors meet the criteria proposed by the DSM-V to be diagnosed with PTSD. This situation may lead an underestimation of the problem and furthermore, in this patient group, PTSD is related with different aspects of psychological well-being, such as...

The aim of this paper was to study whether real angry faces do capture attention to the extent of overcoming the inhibition of return (IOR) effect and whether the anxiety level of participants modulates this effect by stressing biases toward threatening stimuli. With this purpose, participants categorized the emotional valence of face targets in a...

Temporal preparation and impulsivity involve overlapping neural structures (prefrontal cortex) and cognitive functions (response inhibition and time perception), however, their interrelations had not been investigated. We studied such interrelations by comparing the performance of groups with low vs. high non-clinical trait impulsivity during a tem...

Normative ratings on valence, arousal, subjetive familiarity, and its relation with threat, depression and anger of 238 nouns in university students. We present normative data of the assessment by university students of nouns on scales of valence, arousal, word frequency or subjective familiarity, and its relation with threat, depression and anger....

Attentional biases regarding attentional capture by threat-related stimuli in anxious people were investigated by using a standard spatial cueing procedure suitable to measure inhibition of return (IOR). In two experiments, participants categorized the emotional valence of either emotional (positive and negative words) or non-emotional (neutral wor...

Participants in this research were selected on the basis of their high vs. low score on an adapted Spanish version of State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and performed an emotional stroop colour-naming task. Besides, they filled in an adapted Spanish version of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS) by Salovey, Mayer, Goldman, Turvey, and Palfai (1995)....
