Третичният мисловен процес на кръстопътя между метапсихологията, когнитивната наука и невронауката

Author(s): Petar Radoev Dimkov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2016

The strict differentiation between the abstract-verbal-logical thought (the Freudian secondary thought process) and the primitive, fantastic thought (primary thought process) is conditional and the border between the two is not clear-cut. This fact allows one to postulate the existence of a third thought process, which would fill the empty space. The third process, essentially, can be defined as concrete, imaginative representation of abstract notions, which is subjected to modifications of volition or as a regress in the name of the ego. Due to this position, the question about the third process touches upon some ancient philosophical questions, e. g. the origin of notions, in particular, the so-called conceptual empiricism, and the transcendental schematism of Kant. Also involved are the contemporary psychological research on representations as concrete and nonetheless generalizing image as well as fantastic imagination and reproductive imagination. The third process reveals itself as invaluable means to creative thought, which, in comparison with the secondary process, is elastic and plastic, and exactly due to this fact it can be subjected to modification (constructivism). Subjectivism and constructivism allow one to view this thought process from a philosophico-practical point of view.

Real-Life Frustration from Virtual Worlds: The Motivational Potential of Frustration

Author(s): Magdaléna Balážiková / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

The presented paper offers a short general introduction to frustration followed by a discourse on frustration as an integral part of gaming experience with the core distinction between positive in-game frustration and negative at-game frustration. The potential of frustration to increase motivation to play, emotional engagement and immersion is outlined. The paper includes comprehensive research using the means of a questionnaire (n=159) and content analysis (n=327) identifying types of frustrating situations ingames, perceived sources of frustration, the behavioural impact of frustration and the relationship between locus of control and ascribed source of frustration. Results showed toxic behaviour as a leading cause of frustration. The most common declared behavioural output of frustration caused by the toxic behaviour of other players was quitting a game for a certain amount of time. Frustration showed the most motivational potential within the category of frustrating situations related to gamers e.g. being stuck in a part of the game, losing, not succeeding, etc. At-game frustration concerns mainly the category called the “game itself”. Most often the game was blamed for insufficiencies in game mechanics or game design, malfunctioning and technical issues within the game. The presented research did not show a statistically significant association between the source of frustration and a participant’s locus of control. The paper has potential in terms of game design and research of emotion, motivation or immersion.

Macedonian Affective Rhizome: Fear and Shame in the Case of the Macedonian “Name Issue”

Author(s): Ana Blazheva / Language(s): English Issue: 1-2/2019

The text examines two core emotions - fear and shame - and how they shape the affective and social dynamic in relation to the Macedonian “name issue.” Both fear and shame are analyzed through phenomenological approach and in relation to other affects and as core affects that also enable social polarization. Polarization is explained through two Gestalt concepts: polarities and fixed gestalts that serve to analyze the phenomenon that results in exclusionary and divisionary types of thinking and behavior into two blocs - “us” vs “them.” The intersubjectivity is taken to be one of the core conditions of the social field that shape its dynamic as a crucial argument towards the need for overcoming polarized and dichotomized logic of understanding social and political polarization. The analysis shows that fear and shame create a rhizomatic pattern that connects different affects binding together and creating complex structures of behavioral responses and intersubjective space. Enacted through discourse, those affects shape the Macedonian social body as wounded by fear, anxiety, shame, hate, anger and trauma, all of which constitute experience of parlous precarity. Those experiences could not be reduced to binary positions, but they create multiplicity.

The Moral Education Of Children And Youth From A Pedagogical Retrospective

Author(s): Marianna Marusynets,Zoriana Vakolia,Inna Perepeliuk / Language(s): English Issue: 12/2019

Contemporary educational science is actively seeking ways in which it is possible for the growing personality to consciously absorb basic principles of high morale where national and universal human values would be equally combined. The latter serve as guidelines determining the subject of interaction between educators and pupils. In this respect, cooperative pedagogy with its methodology comes into the picture. It involves mutual respect, equality, sociability – all the attributes of the subject-to-subject interaction oriented towards the maximum activity of educators as well as pupils.It brings about a change in the traditional approach to essence, methods and forms used in the educational process. Its ultimate goal has to consist not only in pupils` understanding of a profound meaning hidden in moral values – it is more about moral act commitment through actions, words and feelings. Only such an educational strategy leads to the result when pupils embrace social and natural environment and become true patriots of their country.

In this paper I will present the role of kinetotherapy in diminishing the physical deficiency of the lower limbs - genu recurvatum, the importance of practicing exercises on a regular basis, the importance of the subject's collaboration in the recovery process and the effect of the results of therapy.By the fact that the deficiency is not painful, as long as it does not change, and there are no complications, is required to be corrected especially for appearance.The best results come from preschoolers, followed by adolescents and then adults, with the recovery program having a greater number of repetitions of positions and exercises over a longer period of time because keeping results under control is more cumbersome , precisely because the processes of growth and development of the organism have come to an end.I want to show that to minimize and even reduce total deficiency genu recurvatum no need to resort to sophisticated equipment, costly and difficultInternational Journal of Educational Theory and Practice (IJETP)Volume 2/ Issue 3/ 201564to access, but enough simple exercises executed correctly with appropriate dosage.

The role of physical therapy treatment in infirmity cerebral motor - type, spastic paraparesis

Author(s): Gabriela Iuliana CAZAC,Simona MURARU / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2015

In this paper we want to present the role of physiotherapy in the recovery of children with neuro-psycho-motor.Since this pathology is a problem that could not be eliminated despite the tremendous progress made by modern medicine, these children need in addition to applying existing disability-specific methods and acceptance, appreciation, they need to grow and develop.Therefore Robănescu stated that the evolution of a child deficient recoverable or partially recoverable depends largely on the family as it grows and develops. By this statement we want to emphasize that with IMC child development includes not only the use of existing disability-specific methods and integrating the child in an educational environment whether in a schools or at home. Integration into the community is a very important step for children with disabilities because by doing so they call the child a chance to grow and to create a better social future to the detriment deficiencies they have. We think that there should be no restriction for these children to develop and lead a normal life, the contrary would have the skills that they have to be exploited, to be educated in ,, normality’’ (Elena Căciulan, 2011) and help them enjoy the privileges enjoyed a normal child. The harmony of family life, ,, how parents understand that the child must be helped, guided and encouraged always will be the pillars on which to build the education of child with cerebral palsy” (N., 1976). Therefore,we want to check whether the means physical therapy can help in recovering cerebral palsy in children with tiny cerebral motor and if they give beneficial results on maintaining and increasing the amplitude of articulation, reduce spasticity, maintain and / or increase the excitability of muscle, maintaining memory kinesthetic and the movements.

Conservative treatment in patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis

Author(s): Larisa Lenuța Cîrdei / Language(s): English Issue: 9/2018

Lumbar spinal stenosis is a common disorder in middle-aged and elderly patients that results from narrowing of the neural canal and foramina, from congenital or degenerative causes. This narrowing leads to co-compression of the lumbosacral nerve root.Most patients with symptomatic lumbar stenosis have intermittent neurogenic claudication with decreased risk. However, although the physical findings and clinical symptoms of lumbar stenosis are not acute, radiographic findings are relatively severe. Magnetic resonance imaging is a non-invasive and good method for the evaluation of lumbar stenosis. Although there are very few studies that refer to the natural progression of lumbar stenosis, its symptoms respond favorably to nonoperative management. In patients who do not respond to non-operative treatment, surgical treatments, such as decompression or decompression with spinal fusion, are required.

The role of kinetotherapy in recovering the deficiency of the lower limbs - genu varus

Author(s): Gabriela Iuliana CAZAC / Language(s): English Issue: 10/2018

In view of the increasing tendencies of the last decades of the physical deficiencies, in this paper I want to present the role of the kinetotherapy in reducing the deficiency of the lower limbs genu varus: the efficiency of the physical exercises practiced regularly, the importance of involving the subject in the recovery process and not lastly the results of the therapy. Because it is a painless physical deficiency in the beginning (the potential negative consequences can evolve to osteoarthritis of the knee), varus genus is mainly corrected for the aesthetic aspect. The results are very good especially for preschoolers, adolescents and adults (Eşi, 2014/2013; Posteucă, 2013), maintaining the results obtained is more difficult and requires repeated exercises and positions for a longer period. In achieving the desires for the recovery of the genus varus deficiency, kinetotherapy is the central pawn, because the beneficial effects of physical exercise cannot be achieved by other means.The physiotherapist must evaluate, adapt and systematize the therapeutic techniques and methods themselves, in order of their succession in order to obtain maximum therapeutic effects. From the time advances of kinetotherapy, the primacy of scientific knowledge results, which makes the "servant of this field of science and practice a multidisciplinary specialist, trained in the value system of anatomy and physiology, of the biomechanics of movements, biochemistry and hygiene, of physical education and sport.

PSYCHOPEDAGOGICAL INTERVENTION ON PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS SUBJECT TO PHYSICAL ABUSE

Author(s): Gabriela Balan / Language(s): English Issue: 15/2021

A novelty of this research is the study of early childhood abuse. The fight to eliminate physical abuse in the school environment must start from the first level of placing the child in this environment, respectively from the young school age. The important scientific problem solved lies in the change of the attitude of the parents and teachers towards the physically abused child, but also in the establishment of the psychotherapeutic methods of working with them. The causes of physical abuse are numerous because abuse is a complex phenomenon, and the literature mainly reveals the abnormal behaviors of parents, poor parent-child relationships and problematic families. Very often we meet children who belong to disorganized families and / or with a disadvantaged socio-economic level. Any attack on the child's health, physical abuse, regardless of its form, affects all areas of psychological functioning of the child (intellectual, emotional, volitional, interpersonal), not only causes physical damage, but also negatively affects the child's overall development, his relationships with other people, school performance.

An Analysis of the Movie “Hachiko: A Dog’s Story” in Terms of Empathy and Solidarity with Animals

Author(s): Nur Okutan / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2023

The aim of this study was to analyze the movie "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" in terms of empathy and solidarity with animals. For this purpose, the scenes in the movie were interpreted on the basis of empathic reactions towards animals (cognitive and affective; self/other-oriented) and solidarity with animals (emotions and behaviors such as attachment, belonging, intimacy, and cooperation). The movie is about the attachment between a dog and a human, and it encourages the viewers to understand this attachment. In order for this to happen, audiences should be able to empathize with the protagonist of the movie, Hachi. Through the analysis of the movie, it becomes clear that empathy with animals is depicted in scenes where efforts are made to understand the protagonist's fear, joy, or expectations (self/other-oriented cognitive empathic responses) as well as in scenes where the desire to do something for the protagonist is shown (other-oriented emotional empathic responses). Solidarity with animals is depicted in scenes that include emotions and behaviors such as sharing (time, happiness, sorrow, “bread”), support (helping, assuming care, etc.), and intimacy (desire to be together). Additionally, the movie directs viewers towards a dog's emotions such as joy, loyalty, sorrow, separation, and longing in many scenes.

The Biological Unconscious, Memory and Identity in Charles Fernyhough’s A Box of Birds

Author(s): Maria Margaroni / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

This essay proposes to critically engage with dominant materialist and narrative models of human identity, addressing the old, ‘tired’ question of subjectivity from a twenty-first century perspective. Drawing on contemporary neuroscientific theory and Lacanian psychoanalysis, I aim to read Charles Fernyhough’s A Box of Birds (2012) as a creative reflection on the nature of memory, consciousness and the unconscious. As I shall demonstrate, what lies at the heart of Fernyhough’s reflection is the Platonic allegory of the mind as an aviary. Taken up and re-interpreted by different characters in the novel, this allegory permits Fernyhough to experiment with contemporary discourses of neuro-subjectivity, tracing a richer, more dynamic relation among mind, brain and body.

Vliv tempa a frázování čteného textu na porozumění

Author(s): Jana Vlčková-Mejvaldová / Language(s): Czech Issue: 2/2023

The study investigates whether and to what extent speaking rate and phrasing affect the comprehension of a read text. Three groups of listeners were presented with three different versions ofa naturally read text. The versions were acquired naturally, i.e., without speech signal modification,in three ways: using normal speech rate and phrasing corresponding to the logical and syntactic structure of the text, using high speech rate with preserved logical phrasing, and, finally, using natural speech rate with distorted phrasing. The three recordings were presented to three comparable groups of respondents respectively. Their task was to determine whether the statements related to the text were true. It turned out that an increase in speech rate affected comprehension minimally, while chaotic phrasing caused a decrease in comprehension of up to 33%.

Using volumetric brain analysis to differentiate a patient with 117 multiple personalities from schizophrenia: a case report and literature review

Author(s): Tasmia Khan,Heela Azizi,Mursal Naisan,Tiffany Benjamin,Payton Colantonio,Cassandra D’Andrea,Tulin Ahmad,Gulshan Begum,Shahzad Chidai,Olaniyi Olayinka,Samuel Adeyemo,Chiedozie Ojimba,Ayodele Jolayemi / Language(s): English Issue: 6/2020

DID is defined in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) as a “disruption of identity characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality states.” This involves discontinuity in sense of self and agency as well as variations in “affect, behavior, consciousness, memory, perception, cognition, or sensory-motor functioning.” The DSM-5 estimates the 12-month prevalence of DID as 1.5% of the American adult population. In other studies of DID, the prevalence is estimated to be between 1% and 3%, with higher rates among patients with other comorbid psychiatric conditions. In the inpatient setting, the prevalence of DID has been estimated to be as high as 7.5%. The severity of DID in terms of distinct identity varies from two reported identities to 23 reported distinct identities, however the average number of reported distinct identities stated is 13.1 DID has been associated with or may co-occur with other psychiatric conditions. Many studies have shown an association between DID and history of childhood trauma or maltreatment between ages 4-8. About 80- 100% of patients diagnosed with DID have a comorbid diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or a lifetime history of PTSD.
