Uma resposta comportamental adequada, face a um ambiente em constante mudança, depende da integridade destas funções. Quando estas funções estão comprometidas, a aplicação de ambientes de realidade virtual (ARV) pode ser uma técnica valida para avaliação e reabilitação dessas capacidades. No entanto, a maioria dos ARV regist. 2016.

  7. Factorial validity and group invariance of the Portuguese short version of the Social Physique Anxiety Scale in adolescents. The purpose of this paper is to determine the factorial validity and group invariance of the Portuguese short-version of the Social Physique Anxiety scale (SPAS). A nationally representative sample of 3330 8th and 10th grade students (mean age = 15.07 ± 1.34 years) completed Motl and Conroy’s (2000) 7-item SPAS version. Principal component analysis followed by confirmatory factor analysis resulted. 2013.

  9. Hemispheric asymmetries in recognition memory for negative and neutral words. Federmeier and Benjamin (2005) have suggested that semantic encoding for verbal information in the right hemisphere can be more effective when memory demands are higher. However, other studies (Kanske & Kotz, 2007) also suggest that visual word recognition differ in function of emotional valence. In this context, the present study was designed to evaluate the effects of retention level upon recogn. 2011.

Snakes are thought as fear-relevant stimuli (biologically prepared to be associated with fear) which can lead to an enhanced attentional capture when compared fear-irrelevant stimuli. Inherent limitations related to the key-press behaviour might be bypassed with the measurement of eye movements, since they are more closely related to attentional processes than reaction times.

The increasing use of the World Wide Web has promised a huge advertising platform for marketers. Investment in online advertising is growing and is expected to overcome traditional media. However, recent studies have reported that users avoid looking at advertising displayed on the World Wide Web. This study aimed at examining the impact of verbal emotional cues (negative/neutral/positive) to capt. 2011.
