Aspects related to oral health situation in older adults
Masis, Carlos; Norma, Lao; Jiménez, Luis; Villanueva, LuisaOlder adults may be exposed to various factors that negatively affect their health. This study aimed to describe the main risk factors associated with the oral health of the elderly population. It is an observational, retrospective, and cross-sectional study conducted with elderly individuals residing in Los Guido de Desamparados, Costa Rica, with informed consent. The initial sample included over 300 individua...
Neurodevelopmental correlates of implicit-explicit learning mechanisms in child...
Soares, Ana Paula; Gutiérrez-Domínguez, Francisco-Javier; Vasconcelos, Margarida; Oliveira, Helena M.; Tomé, David; Lousada, Marisa; Jiménez, LuisThis project has the grant POCI-01-0145-FEDER-028212, started in June of 2019 ending in May of 2022, with researchers from ESS | P. PORTO, University of Minho and University of Aveiro. Aims to analyze the neurocognitive correlates of implicit-explicit learning mechanisms in preschool specific-learning impairment (SLI) children and to track their developmental trajectories until they enter primary school. Studie...
Literacy effects on artificial grammar learning (AGL) with letters and colors: ...
Soares, Ana Paula; Silva, Rosa; Faria, Frederica Rodrigues Freitas; Santos, Maria Silva; Oliveira, Helena Mendes; Jiménez, LuisLiteracy affects many aspects of language and cognition, including the shift from a more holistic mode of processing to a more analytical part-based mode of processing. Here we examined whether this shift impacts the ability of preschool and primary school children to learn the rules underlying a finite-state grammar using an artificial grammar learning (AGL) paradigm implemented with either linguistic (letters...
Not all words are equally acquired: transitional probabilities and instructions...
Soares, Ana Paula; Gutiérrez-Domínguez, Francisco-Javier; Vasconcelos, Margarida Fátima Gomes; Oliveira, Helena M.; Tomé, David; Jiménez, LuisStatistical learning (SL), the process of extracting regularities from the environment, is a fundamental skill of our cognitive system to structure the world regularly and predictably. SL has been studied using mainly behavioral tasks under implicit conditions and with triplets presenting the same level of difficulty, i.e., a mean transitional probability (TP) of 1.00. Yet, the neural mechanisms underlying SL u...
