The traditional way of teaching mathematics generates significant learning difficulties in students that are reflected in their academic performance. In recent years, the number of teachers and researchers interested in finding innovative, flexible and comprehensible methodologies has increased. The main objective of this article has been to carry...
Background. Serious mental illness (SMI) represents a category of psychiatric disorders characterized by specific difficulties of personal and social functioning, derived from suffering severe and persistent mental health problems. Aims. We wanted to look into differences in cognitive performance among different SMI patients. Methods. Repeatable Ba...
One of the means for representing quantities/magnitudes is the mental number line. It is still a nonsolved question as to whether the method of learning mathematics in the early years could improve this type of estimating. A total of 233 students, aged four and five years, who learned mathematics with a new method called Open Algorithm Based on Num...
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have an increasing influence on the way we interact, learn, and live. The increase in teaching and learning methodologies that are mediated by ICT in the field of education and in the domestic settings encourages the design of new effective technological tools, supported by scientific research and de...
The development in the field of neuropsychology is supporting reductionist approaches. They endorse explanations of causation of behaviour where mental phenomena are a mere consequence of brain processes. These advocates of eliminativism and physicalism believe that there is no actual science in folk psychology, i. e., the explanations made in term...
Early math skills are determined by higher cognitive processes that are particularly important for acquiring and developing skills during a child's early education. Such processes could be a critical target for identifying students at risk for math learning difficulties. Few studies have considered the use of a structural equation method to rationa...
El bienestar psicológico en las personas de alta capacidad intelectual ha sido motivo de controversia en la literatura especializada. En ocasiones se ha considerado que estas personas son más proclives a un desajuste psicológico, mientras que otras veces los resultados han sido poco concluyentes. En el presente trabajo se ha estudiado el bienestar...
Having screening tools to identify students at risk of learning difficulties in mathematics is an essential resource to address future interventions that reduce failure and poor performance in mathematics.
We present a pilot study with 49 students (average age of 9 years, 5 months) of 4th year of primary education to which we have evaluated with t...

This article highlights the need of a reliable test for the selection of future operators in vessel traffic services. It describes the theoretical basis of the test that lies in situational awareness and the process of building and validation of the Situation Awareness Test for Vessel Traffic Services (SAT-VTS) by means of a test of expert judges,...
El presente trabajo busca conseguir dos objetivos: la construcción de un instrumento de medida de la violencia de género soportada en chicas adolescentes y el estudio de la validez de contenido de dicho instrumento. Para ello, se ha partido de las dimensiones que forman el propio constructo de violencia de género: violencia física, psicológica, soc...
Algunas habilidades prelectoras pueden preparar al niño para un desempeño lector exitoso. A su vez, la existencia de un contexto alfabetizador familiar favorece la adquisición de estas habilidades prelectoras. El objetivo de este trabajo fue explorar las relaciones entre contexto alfabetizador familiar y adquisición de habilidades prelectoras, así...

The main aim of this study was to show that statistically significant differences do not exist in the early mathematical abilities between boys and girls. 1053 girls and boys were assessed with the Utrecht Test Tor Number Sense Spanish version. Students came from 14 elementary public schools. They were in the last pre-school academic year and first...
-The relationship between occupational preferences and personality traits was examined.
