Arte y psicología
(2018) Wilchez, José L.; Avila Martinez, Maria Cristina; Moreno Polo, Miguel Francisco; Reyes Guaranda, Mauricio Esteban
This work is a link between Art and Psychology within Cognitive Science. If it is not understood how the subject processes information with respect to Art, it is impossible to appreciate in a holistic way all the dimensions of the human being; including its artistic-expressive facet. The expression of Art is an energetic investment in which the creator of a work of Art shapes his vision of the world. This ability is developed over time (not possessed since our evolutionary beginnings) and is the product of cognitive processes such as memory, representation, problem solving and decision making. Each person is a world and extracts the essence of his environment in an idiosyncratic way, hence each person has a preference for a type of art that goes from the most figurative to the most abstract. To understand Art is to understand an intimate part of Psychology.
Autoeficacia percibida en el personal sanitario del Centro de Salud “San Joaquín” en la ciudad de Cuenca en periodo 2020
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2020-12-17) Moreno Polo, Miguel Francisco; Reyes Guaranda, Mauricio Esteban; Peña Contreras, Eva Karina
Based on the initial construction of Bandura (1997), the perceived self-efficacy constitutes a fundamental factor within the cognition and behavior of the individual, influencing the way of reacting, either positively or negatively, to the demands of the environment in which they perform. This study aims to describe the levels of self-efficacy in healthcare personnel, in addition to determining the existing differences in the levels of perceived self-efficacy in relation to the sociodemographic variables of the participants. To carry out this study, a nonexperimental, cross-section, quantitative approach with a descriptive scope was used. The study involved 22 workers belonging to the "San Joaquín" Health Center in the city of Cuenca in 2020. Of the participants, 10 were men and 12 women, aged between 23 and 59 years. The data was collected through a sociodemographic form and the application of the Generalized Self-efficacy Scale for the Ecuadorian Context. The results of the study reveal that the level of self-efficacy in the population has a mean of 31, a score that indicates that self-efficacy occurs at high levels; In addition, among the most important results, there are non-significant differences in the levels of perceived self-efficacy in relation to the area of work, marital status, job stability in terms of work time and relationship with the institution, and the age range of the participants
Cognitive psychology in traffic safety
(2023) Tigre Atiencia, Wilson Xavier; Ordoñez Alberca, Danny Sebastian; Michay Valarezo, Wendy Lizbeth; Campos Castro, Camila Ines; Reyes Guaranda, Mauricio Esteban; Moreno Polo, Miguel Francisco; Avila Martinez, Maria Cristina; Montesdeoca Andrade, Mateo Sebastian
Improving traffic safety requires a better knowledge of cognitive Science, especially of the cognitive Ergonomics of road infrastructure and the vehicle–human interface. Driving is a complex task that involves different cognitive modules that have to coordinate simultaneously. Perception, Language, Memory and Mental Representation, Learning, Emotion and Motivation, Attention, Executive Functions, Thinking and Reasoning or Motor Programming should be better understood in order to adapt traffic infrastructure and interfaces to the human information processing. In this work, we review the importance of these cognitive modes in traffic safety. A holistic exam of all cognitive processes related to driving and road safety is recommended to be taken by all governments and in all countries. In this sense, systematic research in drivers’ evaluation and its link to automobile accidents should be implemented. Driver assistance systems can assist to drivers but they cannot substitute the human processing. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
