A BASIC program for the computation and record of heart rate differential scores
El propósito de este artículo es ofrecer un programa, escrito en lenguaje BASIC, para el cálculo de las puntuaciones diferenciales de tasa cardiaca (dTC). Para llevar a cabo este cálculo, el programa solicita una serie de valores de entrada, como por ejemplo [...]
Power rates of two robust approaches to the analysis of longitudinal data
El propósito del presente trabajo fue examinar la potencia de dos de las pruebas más novedosas, y quizás también más robustas, de cuantas se hallan disponibles actualmente para analizar datos longitudinales con matrices de dispersión arbitrarias. En concreto, se comparó la sensibilidad [...]
Perception of Acceleration in Motion-In-Depth With Only Monocular and Binocular Information
Observers are often required to adjust actions with objects that change their speed. However, no evidence for a direct sense of acceleration has been found so far. Instead, observers seem to detect changes in velocity within a temporal window when confronted with [...]
Self-Steem and changes in heart rate during laboratory-based stress
The relationship between self-esteem (SE), type of stressor, and fluctuations in heart rate was assessed in a sample of 59 college students (40 females, 19 males; with a mean age of 23.98 years (SEM = 1.0)). SE was measured using the Rosenberg [...]
The role of the syllable & rhyme in language production: Evidence from Spanish speech errors

The locus of semantic interference in picture naming
Masked priming was used to study the locus of the semantic interference effect. This effect was studied by varying the nature of the task (naming and gender decision) and the type of prime-target relation (semantic and phonological). The time of presentation of [...]
Overshadowing between landmarks in a navigation task
O’Keefe y Nadel (1978) consideran que un mapa cognitivo es una representación del entorno en la que se incluye toda la información disponible respecto a los puntos de referencia y sus relaciones espaciales. Una vez formado el mapa cognitivo, los animales pueden [...]
Counterfactual thinking in everyday life situations: Temporal order effects and social norms
Counterfactual thinking is the comparison of a factual situation to a simulated alternative one. When people think about how things could have been different, they tend to mentally undo the last occurrence in an independent sequence of antecedents to an outcome. We [...]
Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) polymorphisms and memory in healthy adults with university education
The polymorphisms (C270T) and Val66Met of the BDNF gene are related [...]
