Abstract The ability to predict the actions of others is quintessential for effective social interactions, particularly in competitive contexts (e.g. sport) when knowledge about upcoming movements allows anticipating rather than reacting opponents. Studies suggest that we what are doing by using our own motor system as an internal forward model and fronto‐parietal action observation network (AON) fundamental this ability. However, multiple‐duty cells dealing with perception execution have...
COVID-19 has come to change societal organization. Due lockdowns, work typologies have been rethought and telework gained strength. However, the impact of constant use information communication technologies on mental health workers needs be considered. We aimed investigate different conditions health, which end we disseminated an online questionnaire during lockdowns assess imagined surveillance, mobile maintenance expectation, overload, feelings entrapment, depression, anxiety, stress,...
Background:Educational neuroscience is a relatively new discipline. However, many obstacles persist in delaying the success of an interface between and education. One such major obstacle has been spread neuromyths.Purpose:The main aim this study was to verify whether Portuguese teachers are susceptible misinterpreting neuroscientific findings believe neuromyths that might ultimately impair their teaching – or simply waste time investing techniques will not aid students.Sample:A sample 583...
Previous research suggests that social media use can have immediate cognitive effects, raising concerns about its impact on adolescent cognition. This study aimed to examine the short-term effects of acute exposure and screen time habits by comparing performance in adolescents (13-15 years old) following 30 min interaction versus face-to-face conversation, according their (more or less spent front a screen). A total 66 participants were divided into four groups: group who used spend than 540...
The aim of the present study was to investigate psychometric properties and validate Portuguese version Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ-Brazil). This instrument assesses how beliefs fear individuals with lower back pain affect two subscales related their physical activities (FABQ-Phys) work (FABQ-Work). questionnaire translated into Brazilian Portuguese, following recommended methodology, applied 53 non-specific chronic pain. test-retest intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC =...
Mobile phone addiction is a robust phenomenon observed throughout the world. The social aspect of mobile use crucial; therefore, phubbing part phenomenon. Phubbing defined as ignoring an interlocutor by glancing at one's during face-to-face conversation. main aim this study was to investigate how Scale (containing 10 items) might vary across countries, and between genders. Data were collected in 20 countries: Belarus, Brazil, China, Croatia, Ecuador, India, Israel, Italy, Netherlands,...
Responses to pictures of famous tennis and soccer athletes are slower when the responding effector is a hand or foot, respectively, indicating that visual recognition individuals characterized by skilled motor behavior interferes with reactivity nonproficient observers. By contrast, directly viewing actions induces facilitation, suggesting mapped in observers' system. Here, we used single-pulse Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation determine 1) whether observing recognizing identity selectively...
When considering deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) population, research recognizes that fatigue due to communication challenges multi-focal attention allocation is a significant concern. Given the putative heightened demands distance learning on students, we investigate how an online environment might differently affect participants, compared Portuguese Sign Language (PSL) users non-users. Our findings show group present higher values in post-task rates with differences from (non-PSL users)....
Stroke is a neurological deficit caused by an acute focal injury to the central nervous system due vascular that can result in loss of function, lasting brain damage, long-term disability and, some cases, death. The literature reports aerobic physical exercise, as well dual-task cognitive walking, are used for recovery people with stroke. We aimed assess whether exercise influences post-stroke recovery, namely performance on selective and sustained attention. tested hypothesis leads more...
Digital media addiction limits face-to-face communication, which can have negative effects on the subjective wellbeing of individuals. However, effect digital has not been adequately explored, and it is recommended in literature that role mediating variables related to social life should be investigated.

In...
Abstract Phubbing is defined as ignoring other individuals by using a mobile phone during face-to-face conversation. The Scale (PS) was developed to assess this practice. In study, we analyze the psychometric properties of 8-item version PS (PS-8) in Portuguese population, providing validity evidence based on internal structure and relationships with variables, examining item properties, reliability, measurement invariance across gender. Participants were 391 adults (132 men, 259 women) who...
Educational Neuroscience is currently raising high attention by the educational and neuroscientific community. However, society has created too many expectations concerning what can bring to Education. With this study, we aim identify eventual distorted of teachers propose ways overcome these. This study was carried out in Portugal with 30 participating schools, where 627 questionnaires were answered from Preschool High School. Our results show that there are still misunderstandings...
This study aimed to assess how the capacity acquire, form and consolidate motor memories might vary across different tasks groups (with without expertise). 20 athletes 21 non-athletes were tested on five tasks: a sequence task, reaction time two visuo-manual tasks, balance task. Performance was measured before training (T0), immediately after (T1), 24 hours (T2), acquisition memory formation consolidation. T2 performance higher in both groups, additional training, task one of (Pouring Task)....
Problematic mobile phone use can be related to negative mental states. Some studies indicate that behavioural dependency is variables associated with the country of origin. The aim our study was investigate if indicators moderated relationship between phubbing and psychological distress. Our sample consisted 7,315 individuals from 20 countries, who completed Phubbing Scale Kessler Psychological Distress (K6). analyses also included indicators: Gender Gap Index (GGI), Human Development (HDI),...
