Reading metacomprehension of Spanish deaf and hard-of-hearing students
Difficulties in monitoring reading comprehension result in poor comprehension. One key aspect of monitoring is metacomprehension, which refers to one’s awareness of one’s own reading comprehension. Previous studies have observed difficulties in metacomprehension among the deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) population. This study aims to determine whether the metacomprehension of DHH students corresponds to their reading score and whether they are trul…
Atypical vocabulary acquisition in autism
Word-learning development is extremely varied among children with autism, with some showing a peak of abilities in vocabulary and others little or no comprehension or expression of isolated words. Typical word learning mechanisms, such as the application of mutual exclusivity, cross-situational mapping, the whole-object principle, and the noun-naming bias also share this heterogeneity: some mechanisms appear to develop in a typical fashion and ot…
Proceso de evaluación de pictogramas
Todas las personas necesitan apoyarse en elementos del contexto para desenvolverse por los entornos de manera autónoma. Esta necesidad se concreta en apoyos específicos cuando las personas tienen dificultades en comprensión permanentes o circunstanciales. Para que un contexto sea accesible universal y cognitivamente se emplean pictogramas para identificar los entornos. Estos pictogramas constituyen una señalética que debe ser validada por proceso…
The influence of syntactic knowledge on reading comprehension varies as a function of oral vocabulary in Spanish‐speaking children
Background Reading comprehension is a complex process influenced by many factors. However, the abilities that are known to influence reading comprehension may not contribute equally for children with different levels of oral language. Aims Here we examined the relationship of two factors known to influence reading comprehension (morphology and syntax) in a group of children who varied in their levels of oral vocabulary. Method Two hundred seventy…
An experimental eye-tracking study of text adaptation for readers with dyslexia
Cartografías políticas del recuerdo
This work addresses the way geographical space is represented in Mapa dibujado por un espía (2013) by Guillermo Cabrera Infante. Taking into account the notions of Wayne C. Booth and Walter Benjamin regarding the narrator and the role of literature in society, we analyze this formal aspect of the text, the focalization of which proposes a “true” plot. The cartography of La Havana is based on the experience of the Cuban revolutionary reality that …
Cartografías políticas del recuerdo
En este trabajo se aborda la exploración del espacio de La Habana en Mapa dibujado por un espía (2013) de Guillermo Cabrera Infante. Desde las nociones de Wayne C. Booth y Walter Benjamin sobre el narrador y el rol de la literatura en la sociedad, se analiza esta dimensión formal del texto, cuya focalización propone una trama “verídica”. La cartografía de La Habana se basa en la experiencia de la realidad cubana revolucionaria que contrasta radic…
A Spanish Sign Language (LSE) Adaptation of the Communicative Development Inventories
This article presents the adaptation of the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory (CDI; Fenson et al., 1993, Guide and technical manual for the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventories. San Diego, CA: Singular Press; Fenson et al. 1994, Variability in early communicative development. Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 59, 1–173) to Spanish Sign Language (LSE). Data were collected from 55 participants (32 b…
Inferencing in Deaf Adolescents during Sign-Supported Speech Comprehension
We tested the capability of deaf adolescents, including a group of users of cochlear implants, to generate inferences during spoken language comprehension and whether they benefited from the use of sign-supported speech (SSS). Stimuli consisted of 24 short video-recorded texts in spoken language and in SSS. Participants responded to literal and inferential multiple-choice questions. In spoken language cochlear implant users had more difficulty in…
The Development of Anaphora Resolution in Spanish
Social Information Processing in Deaf Adolescents
The goal of this study was to compare the processing of social information in deaf and hearing adolescents. A task was developed to assess social information processing (SIP) skills of deaf adolescents based on Crick and Dodge's (1994; A review and reformulation of social information-processing mechanisms in children's social adjustment. Psychological Bulletin, 115, 74-101) reformulated six-stage model. It consisted of a structured interview afte…
Emergent Bilingualism and Working Memory Development in School Aged Children
The present research explores working memory (WM) development in monolingual as well as emergent bilingual children immersed in an L2 at school. Evidence from recent years suggests that bilingualism may boost domain-general executive control, but impair nonexecutive linguistic processing. Both are relevant for verbal WM, but different paradigms currently in use vary in the degree to which they reflect these subprocesses. We found that only younge…
Supporting people with Autism Spectrum Dis. in leisure time
Social participation has positive effects on mental and physical health, and it can be taken as an indicator of quality of life. However, the participation of people with disabilities in their communities is still scarce, especially for people with autism.The impact on individual satisfaction produced by a university volunteer program (APUNTATE) aimed at supporting people with autism in leisure activities was evaluated. A questionnaire of impact …
Reading Efficiency of Deaf and Hearing People in Spanish
Different studies have showed poor reading performance in the deaf compared to the hearing population. This has overshadowed the fact that a minority of deaf children learns to read successfully and reaches levels similar to their hearing peers. We analyze whether deaf people deploy the same cognitive and learning processes in reading as their hearing peers. For this purpose, we analyzed the relation between phonological processing, speechreading…
Ethnicity and negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia
The purpose of this study was to assess ethnic differences in the negative symptom profile of 25 Anglo American and 26 Mexican American subjects with schizophrenia. Subjects were rated at the end of a 1-2-week medication washout period (time 1) and at discharge (time 2) with the Negative Symptoms Assessment (NSA), Brief Psychiatric Research Scale, (BPRS), the [Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th edition)] DSM-IV negative fa…
Acculturative Stress
Mexican-American Perceptions of Severe Mental Illness
In south Texas, Mexican-Americans make up a large part of the patient population in public psychiatric facilities. Changing demographic trends that increase the proportion of Hispanics across the United States suggested the relevance of a comprehensive assessment of the perceptions of mental illness and hospital treatment among families of Mexican-American psychiatric patients. Results indicate low levels of formal education and acculturation in …
Coping with Stress
Le is a married 35 year old South Vietnamese refugee who works two jobs to support her three children and elderly relatives. The family of eight was one of many boat people whose journey to freedom involved prolonged stress as they left their home secretly and withstood the deprivation of a refugee camp for more than a year before being chosen by a sponsor to relocate in the U.S. Ten years later, Le proudly recites the new responsibilities she ha…
