La presente comunicación describe una experiencia de diseño y realización de un Ciclo de Mejora Docente de ocho horas de duración para la asignatura de Psicología de la Atención y de la Percepción del Grado en Psicología de la Universidad de Sevilla durante el curso 2018/2019. En concreto la actividad se va a aplicar al tema de Percepción del...

Psychological memory tests have traditionally relied on paper-based methods. However, the emergence of virtual reality tools, including adaptations of animal lab tests, has opened up new possibilities for evaluating and enhancing attention and memory processes. The impact of virtual environments on spatial memory remains a topic of ongoing...

This study explores the under-researched domain of long-term stimulant treatment in children and adolescents diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The necessity for extended treatment duration, often accompanied by safety concerns and side effects leading to treatment discontinuation, underscores the significance of...

Traditional diagnostic scales are based on a number of symptoms to evaluate and classify mental diseases. In many cases, this process becomes subjective, since the patient must calibrate the magnitude of his/her symptoms and therefore the severity of his/her disorder. A completely different approach is based on the study of the more vulnerable...

Experimentos previos sugieren que las tortugas emplean diferentes estrategias de aprendizaje y memoria espacial. Estos diferentes sistemas de orientación podrían presentar propiedades conductuales específicas e implicar sistemas neurales diferenciados. En el presente trabajo se analiza la ejecución de tortugas en un procedimiento de inversión...

Efectos de la ablación telencefálica sobre el aprendizaje apetitivo instrumental en la carpa dorada (Carassius auratus). En este experimento se emplearon carpas doradas (Carassius auratus) con ablación bilateral del telencéfalo o con operación de control en un procedimiento de entrenamiento instrumental con distribución de ensayos ampliamente...

Frustration tolerance is a skill related to emotional regulation processes and is important insofar as it affects people's social relationships and even health. Low levels of frustration tolerance in children have been associated with a greater number of externalizing symptoms such as aggression or anger. Despite its importance, there are a...

Mammals and birds can use different spatial navigation strategies subserved by distinct learning and memory systems. A range of evidence suggests that when animals are trained in a test environment where they can simultaneously rely on the spatial relationships among distal landmarks (place strategy) and on a single conspicuous local visual cue...

Se presenta una innovación del programa de prácticas de la asignatura Fundamentos de Psicobiología. Con la intención de mejorar la calidad docente en la enseñanza de Fundamentos de Psicobiología, se procedió a una revisión y reorganización de los contenidos de las clases prácticas. Las prácticas se organizaron en unidades temáticas para...

Surprising violations of outcome expectancies have long been known to enhance the associability of Pavlovian cues; that is, the rate at which the cue enters into further associations. The adaptive value of such enhancements resides in promoting new learning in the face of uncertainty. However, it is unclear whether associability enhancements...

The concept of ADHD has changed widely through the history of mental health classification manuals. In the past three decades, the number of ADHD diagnoses has hugely increased worldwide. One of the reasons to explain this fact could be the lack of precision, differentiation and adjust of the criteria and indicators of this disease. Research...

The hippocampus of mammals and birds is critical for spatial memory. Neuroanatomical evidence indicates that the medial cortex (MC) of reptiles and the lateral pallium (LP) of ray-finned fishes could be homologous to the hippocampus of mammals and birds. In this work, we studied the effects of lesions to the MC of turtles and to the LP of...

In this research, a prepulse inhibition task was carried out in which subjects were treated with a psychostimulant, methylphenidate (MPH), acutely and chronically in a population of Wistar rats. The dataset contains all the data from a sample of 56 Wistar rats (females and males). These data include the prepulses, pulses and phase of the...

Recent studies support the idea that stimulus processing in latent inhibition can vary during the course of preexposure. Controlled attentional mechanisms are said to be important in the early stages of preexposure, while in later stages animals adopt automatic processing of the stimulus to be used for conditioning. Given this distinction, it...

An attention disturbance is a problem that affects many school-aged children. The assessment in children is usually report-based, and as a result, controversy surrounds the diagnosis. To solve this issue, the aim of this study was to develop a new tool to detect possible attention-related problems and impulsive behavior in 4- and 5-year-old...
