Oxytocin modulates neural activity during early perceptual salience attribution
Santiago, A. F.; Kosilo, M.; Cogoni, C.; Diogo, V.; Jerónimo, R.; Prata, D.Leading hypotheses of oxytocin's (OT) role in human cognition posit that it enhances salience attribution. However, whether OT exerts its effects predominantly in social (vs non-social) contexts remains debatable, and the time-course of intranasal OT's effects’ on salience attribution processing is still unknown. We used the social Salience Attribution Task modified (sSAT) in a double-blind, placebo-controlled ...
Psicólogos cognitivos no quotidiano: Uma pedagogia activa, crítica e socialment...
Jerónimo, R.; Soares, S.A natureza abstracta dos modelos teóricos torna-os de difícil apreensão, sobretudo quando há pouco conhecimento prévio nesse domínio, desafio patente na unidade curricular Percepção, Atenção e Memória. Partindo da ideia que a aprendizagem beneficia da construção activa do conhecimento, desenvolveu-se uma prática pedagógica na qual o/as estudantes têm oportunidade de identificar um problema do quotidiano que que...
Narrating science: Can it benefit science learning, and how? A theoretical review
Soares, S.; Gonçalves, M.; Jerónimo, R.; Kolinsky, R.Narrative texts have been advocated as tools to tackle science learning challenges, and there is even the proposal of a “narrative effect” on learning. We believe it is necessary to examine previous evidence on this effect, as well as to characterize the process of learning through science narrative texts more broadly. In this article, we offer a theoretical review drawing on three frameworks, namely on pedagog...
Attribution of intentions in autism spectrum disorder: A study of event‐related...
Fernandes, J. M.; Soares, S.; Lopes, R.; Jerónimo, R.; Barahona‐Corrêa, J. B.Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by social cognition deficits, including difficulties inferring the intentions of others. Although deficits in attribution of intentions (AI) have been consistently replicated in ASD, their exact nature remains unexplored. Here we registered the electrophysiological correlates of a nonverbal social cognition task to investigate AI in autistic adults. Twenty-one mal...
The neural basis of authenticity recognition in laughter and crying
Kosilo, M.; Costa, M.; Nuttall, H. E.; Ferreira, H. A.; Scott, S. K.; Menéres, S.; Pestana, J.; Jerónimo, R.; Prata, D.Deciding whether others’ emotions are genuine is essential for successful communication and social relationships. While previous fMRI studies suggested that differentiation between authentic and acted emotional expressions involves higher-order brain areas, the time course of authenticity discrimination is still unknown. To address this gap, we tested the impact of authenticity discrimination on event-related p...
Relatório final do Grupo de Projeto Museus no Futuro
Camacho, C. F.; Carvalho, A.; Ferreira, E.; Ferro, I.; Fernandes, I.; Varejão, J.; Silva, R. H.; Jerónimo, R.; Brighenti, S. B.; Julião, B.; Alípio, E.No seguimento do projeto criado por Resolução de Conselho de Ministros em fevereiro de 2019, o Grupo de Projeto Museus no Futuro apresentou em novembro de 2020 os resultados do seu mandato à Ministra da Cultura. Na sequência de um processo de auscultação dos diretores dos Museus, Palácios e Monumentos da Direcção-Geral do Património Cultural e das Direções Regionais de Cultura e de subsequente discussão pública...
The sense of sounds: brain responses to phonotactic frequency, phonological gra...
Silva, S.; Vigário, M.; Fernandez, B.; Jerónimo, R.; Alter, K.; Frota, S.Two outstanding questions in spoken-language comprehension concern (1) the interplayof phonological grammar (legal vs. illegal sound sequences), phonotactic frequency(high- vs. low-frequency sound sequences) and lexicality (words vs. other soundsequences) in a meaningful context, and (2) how the properties of phonologicalsequences determine their inclusion or exclusion from lexical-semantic processing. Inthe pr...
Too much? The effect of colour saturation and food perception and preference
Jerónimo, R.; Rocha, M. L.; Simão, C.; Costa, A. I. AWe are often contacting with chromatic stimuli, either by the objects we see or by everything that nature has been busy painting, such as food. Our first contact with food is through vision, therefore, it makes colour an important indicator for food assessment and selection. This research aimed to study how a specific colour attribute – the saturation – of vegetables/fruits and animal food products, both natura...
Revisiting stress “deafness” in European Portuguese – a behavioral and ERP study
Lu, S.; Vigário, M.; Correia, S.; Jerónimo, R.; Frota, S.European Portuguese (EP) is a language with variable stress, and the main cues for stress are duration and vowel reduction. A previous behavioral study has reported a stress “deafness” effect in EP when vowel quality cues are unavailable. The present study recorded both event-related potentials (ERPs) and behavioral data to examine the stress processing by native EP speakers in the absence of the vowel quality ...
Social cognition in schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders: a systematic r...
Fernandes, J. M.; Cajão, R.; Lopes, R.; Jerónimo, R.; Barahona-Corrêa, J. B.Background: Deficits in social cognition are well-recognized in both schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, it is less clear how social cognition deficits differ between both disorders and what distinct mechanisms may underlie such differences. We aimed at reviewing available evidence from studies directly comparing social cognitive performance between individuals with schizophrenia and ASD...
