Letters away from the looking glass: Developmental trajectory of mirrored and r...

The present study investigated when, in reading development, mirror-image discrimination becomes automatic during visual word recognition. The developmental trajectory of masked priming effects was investigated from 2nd to 6th grade and in adults, by manipulating letter type (nonreversible; reversible) and prime condition (control; identity; mirrored; rotated). Standardized identity priming increased along read...

The cognitive profile of adults with low literacy skills in alphabetic orthogra...

Dealing with text is crucial in modern societies. However, not everyone acquires sufficient literacy skills during school education. This systematic review summarizes and synthesizes research on adults with low literacy skills (ALLS) in alphabetic writing systems, includes results from behavioral and neurobiological studies, and compares these findings with those on developmental dyslexia given that this develo...

Terratech ERASMUS+ project tackling the objectives of the Farm to Fork Strategy

O sucesso da estratégia do Prado ao Prato, que visa a transição para a sustentabilidade da agricultura europeia, irá depender das soluções tecnológicas já existentes e das que se irão desenvolver num futuro próximo. Estas tecnologias permitirão integrar diversos fatores (ex.: propriedades do solo, fatores climatéricos, fatores intrínsecos das cultivares) em avaliações preditivas das necessidades de água e nutri...

A Perspective on the Link between Mitochondria-Associated Membranes (MAMs) and ...

Mitochondria interact with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through contacts called mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs), which control several processes, such as the ER stress response, mitochondrial and ER dynamics, inflammation, apoptosis, and autophagy. MAMs represent an important platform for transport of non-vesicular phospholipids and cholesterol. Therefore, this region is highly enriched in proteins i...

Relatório de Estágio Curricular – Jardim de Infância Vale do Ferreiro (Oliveira...

O presente relatório de estágio surge no âmbito da Licenciatura de Animação Sociocultural, desenvolvido ao longo de 400 horas, de 23 de fevereiro a 29 de maio de 2023. No relatório pretendo demonstrar as atividades desenvolvidas no Jardim de Infância Vale do Ferreiro, em Oliveira do Hospital. Ao longo do estágio foi possível aplicar e desenvolver as competências teórico-práticas adquiridas ao longo destes três ...

Letters away from the looking glass: Developmental trajectory of mirrored and r...

Discrimination of reversible mirrored letters (e.g., d and b) poses a challenge when learning to read as it requires overcoming mirror invariance, an evolutionaryold perceptual tendency of processing mirror images as equivalent. The present study investigated when, in reading development, mirror-image discrimination becomes automatic during visual word recognition. The developmental trajectory of masked priming...

Se não é “tradição” é “aberração?”: disputas por legitimidade articuladas em li...

O artigo objetiva apresentar o modo como as disputas por legitimidade religiosa se apresentam na linguagem cotidiana de adeptos do candomblé, pertencentes a um movimento político-religioso localizado no Rio de Janeiro. A partir de materiais obtidos por meio de pesquisa de campo, realizada entre fevereiro de 2018 e outubro de 2020, discutem se as seguintes questões: de que forma a categoria tradição tem sido mob...

From Hand to Eye: a Meta-Analysis of the Benefit from Handwriting Training in V...

Handwriting (HW) training seems to boost recognition of visual graphs and learning to read more than other learning experiences. However, efects across studies appear to be variable and the underlying cognitive mechanism has been elusive. We thus conducted a meta-analysis on 50 independent experiments (with 1525 participants) to determine the magnitude of this HW beneft in visual graph recognition, while enligh...

Where is mirror invariance? Masked priming effects by mirrored and rotated tran...

The cognitive mechanism underpinning mirror priming effects for letters (e.g., IDEA primed by ibea) is still unclear: it could be about mirror invariance (perceptual equivalence of mirror images - d and b - which does not extend to other orientation contrasts like plane rotations - d and p) or about visual similarity (b, d, and p share the same visual features and shape). To enlighten it and investigate the mod...
