To ameliorate occupational health, it is therefore crucial ...
Ethnic influences on the perceptual properties of human chemosignals
Parma, Valentina; Redolfi, Nelly; Alho, Laura; Rocha, Marta; Ferreira, Jacqueline; Silva, Carlos Fernandes da; Soares, Sandra C.Individuals of African and Caucasian descent show different chemical signatures in their body odors (BO). Does such biological difference have a perceptual correlate? We tested BO donors and raters of Afro-Portuguese (AP) and Caucasian (C) descent to investigate whether olfactory ratings reveal an ethnic bias and whether olfactory ethnic discrimination is possible. C (vs. AP) women rated the C BO as more pleasa...

Dias, Carlos Manuel de Melo; Silva, Carlos Fernandes daA teoria da aprendizagem social, de Albert Bandura, é revisitada em exclusividade, enquanto base conceptual do método de aprendizagem da formação de habilidades de conversação, definindo que o desenvolvimento e funcionamento da pessoa decorrem da relação triádica recíproca entre os estímulos internos, os estímulos externos, e o comportamento. A aprendizagem pela observação é assim governada por quatro processos...

Event-related potentials modulated by the perception of sexual dimorphism: The ...
Carrito, Mariana L.; Bem-Haja, Pedro; Silva, Carlos Fernandes da; Perrett, D. I.; Santos, I. M.Sexual dimorphism has been proposed as one of the facial traits to have evolved through sexual selection and to affect attractiveness perception. Even with numerous studies documenting its effect on attractiveness and mate choice, the neurophysiological correlates of the perception of sexual dimorphism are not yet fully understood. In the present study, event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded during visua...
Unconscious influence over executive control: Absence of conflict detection and...
Silva, Fábio; Dias, Joana; Silva, Samuel; Bem-Haja, Pedro; Silva, Carlos Fernandes da; Soares, Sandra Cristina de OliveiraExecutive control and its modulation of attentional mechanisms allow us to detect and adapt to conflicting information. According to recent studies, executive control functions may be modulated by unconsciously perceived information, although the available evidence is not consistent. In this study, we used a Flanker Task and employed Chromatic Flicker Fusion, a suppression technique that has been proposed as mo...
Emotional body odors as context: Effects on cardiac and subjective responses
Ferreira, Jacqueline; Parma, Valentina; Alho, Laura; Silva, Carlos Fernandes da; Soares, Sandra Cristina de OliveiraMany studies have indicated that the chemical cues from body odors (BOs) of donors experiencing negative emotions can influence the psychophysiological and behavioral response of the observers. However, these olfactory cues have been used mainly as contextual information for processing visual stimuli. Here, for the first time, we evaluate how emotional BO affects the emotional tone of a subsequent BO message. A...
Sociality and culture explaining academic and cognitive differences of immigran...
Figueiredo, Sandra; Martins, Maria Margarida Alves d'Orey; Silva, Carlos Fernandes daSociality remains as an underestimated concept to explain the behavior of young immigrant students mainly considering life critical periods for the cultural and social development. Sociality and Culture, on the other hand, are intrinsically related to understand the cognitive mapping and the academic achievement of immigrant students. In Portugal schools are responding with different approaches to the inclusion...
