Abstract:

Movement-related sensory suppression is an example of a motor-sensory interaction whereby sensory stimuli are perceived as less intense before and during a movement than at rest. This thesis focuses on sensory suppression of a weak electrocutaneous stimulus delivered just prior to movement onset, and develops this situation as a paradigm for studying motor-sensory interactions. In a typical experiment, subjects prepared a motor response in advance of a visual signal. They received a weak electric shock to the right hand just prior to voluntary movement. Subjects reported at the end of each tri

2013/2014<br>The studies presented in this thesis contribute to the growing body of knowledge regarding the relationships between domain general precursors, domain specific precursors and mathematical learning. Given the previous inconsistent results about the link between ANS acuity and mathematical abilities (i.e. Kolkman et al., 2013) we were interested in the investigation of the relation between the ANS and early mathematics abilities in preschool years. This relationship was explored by using two different approaches: in Chapter 2 the relationship between ANS and different mathematical m

Abstract:

This thesis is an examination of language and number in two atypically developing groups, Williams Syndrome (WS) and Down's Syndrome (DS). These groups were chosen because their cognitive profiles in adulthood differ significantly. It is already known that language is a relative strength in WS but that it is poorer than non-verbal ability in DS. The precursors to both language and number ability were studied in 24-36 month old infants and performance at this stage was compared with that in the steady state, by testing older children and adults, aged 9-35 years. Similar age-appropriate tests we

Abstract:

The research presented in this thesis combined a number of aims. One was to investigate in detail the early typical development of individual cognitive domains including attention, literacy and numeracy, and consequently to investigate whether domain-general attentional abilities constrain the development of either literacy or numeracy skills in preschool to school-age children. A further aim was to test the development of the same cognitive processes in two groups of children with developmental disorders of known genetic origin; Down syndrome (DS) and Williams syndrome (WS).

Abstract:

Referring to Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) and Rubinsten and colleagues’ (2018) theoretical models, the general purpose of this dissertation was to provide a cognitive-environmental approach to the study and promotion of early mathematical skills, underlining the multiplicity of factors that, already at a very early stage, come into play in the emergence and development of math learning from preschool to the beginning of primary school. In line with this main goal, the thesis is essentially divided into two parts: on the one hand, in Chapters 2 and 3, we have examined the role of some cognitive prec

Abstract:

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is common among college students. The disease perpetuates depressive symptoms and potentially leads to chronic depressive episodes. Existing literature has shown that students who use both cognitive and behavioral maladaptive coping skills are more prone to endure depressive symptoms and poorer academic performance. Despite these known associations, little research has examined the relationship between coping skills and self-efficacy in response to warning signs of MDD in college students. This study sought to fill the gaps in the research of MDD related to prec

Abstract:

Theory of mind refers to the ability to attribute mental states to others and to predict their behaviour based on inferences about their mental states, for example their perception, desires, or beliefs. Forty years ago, research on theory of mind originated from the question of whether or not chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) have a theory of mind, a question that – after all this time – is still debated. In the present thesis, I investigate theory of mind and its precursors in birds of the crow family, specifically Eurasian jays (Garrulus glandarius), California scrub-jays (Aphelocoma californica

The current study represents the first known meta-analysis on the association of APP, PSEN1 or PSEN2 on neurocognitive variables.

Social categorization based on group membership has a significant and broad influence on behaviour (Turner, Hogg, Oakes, Reicher, & Wetherell, 1987). People perceived as being of the same group, ‘in-group' members, are accorded all kinds of special treatment, such as the tendency to reward them over out-group members (Tajfel, Billig, Bundy, & Flament, 1971). At the other extreme is denigration based solely on a person's status as ‘out-group' member, sometimes even to the point of perceiving that person as less human than fellow in-group members, a phenomenon termed dehumanisation (Leyens et al

As alterações bioquímicas da DA são resultado de processos celulares como o metabolismo da proteína precursora do amilóide (APP), fosforilação da tau, stress oxidativo, inflamação e desregulação lipídica.

Employment of an operant conditioning paradigm using an automated olfactometer, an olfactory habituation/dishabituation test and a spatial learning test with non olfactory cues resulted in data showing that the 5xFAD mice develop olfactory impairments already at 2-3 months of age.

The short Aβ peptide is derived from a large transmembrane precursor protein, APP. Two different proteolytic enzymes, BACE1 and the gamma-secretase complex, are responsible for cleaving Aβ peptide from APP through an intricate processing pathway. Dysregulation of APP and BACE1 levels leading to excess Aβ deposition has been implicated in various forms of AD. Thus, a major goal in this dissertation was
