    "Among neurodevelopmental disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the main cause of school failure in children. Notably, visuospatial dysfunction has also been empha sized as a leading cause of low cognitive performance in children with ADHD. Consequently, the present study aimed to identify ADHD-related changes in electroencephalography (EEG) characteris tics, associated with visual object processing in school-aged children. We performed Multichannel EEG recordings in 16-year-old children undergoing Navon’s visual object processing paradigm. We mapped global coherence during the processing of local and global visual stimuli that were consistent, inconsistent, or neutral. We found that Children with ADHD showed significant differences in global weighted coherence during the processing of local and global inconsistent visual stimuli and longer response times in comparison to the control group. Delta and theta EEG bands highlighted important features for classification in both groups. Thus, we advocate EEG coherence and low-frequency EEG spectral power as prospective markers of visual processing deficit in ADHD. Our results have implica tions for the development of diagnostic interventions in ADHD and provide a deeper understanding of the factors leading to low performance in school-aged children".

    "El propósito del trabajo fue analizar, desde la neuropsicología Histórico-Cultural, los tipos de errores en la escritura en adolescentes de educación media básica con alto rendimiento académico (ARA) y bajo rendimiento académico (BRA). Con base en el análisis sindrómico propuesto por Luria, se identificó a los mecanismos de regulación y control y de análisis y síntesis espacial global, como mecanismos subyacentes a los tipos de errores presentados por los participantes. Método. Se aplicó un diseño transversal descriptivo. La muestra incluyó 8 adolescentes con ARA y 8 con BRA, de cada uno de los tres grados del nivel de educación secundaria, siendo una muestra total de 48 adolescentes mexicanos. Se aplicaron tareas para evaluar a los mecanismos neuropsicológicos y a la escritura. Los resultados mostraron los tipos de errores de escritura característicos a los mecanismos identificados como deficientes en su nivel funcional, los errores fueron más significativos en el grupo de BRA. Se resaltan la necesidad de corregir las dificultades en la escritura no desde la escritura misma, sino contemplar actividades que favorezcan el desarrollo funcional de los mecanismos deficientes, incluso desde el nivel de la educación básica inicial".

    "The aim of the present work was to investigate the use of verbal language applied to the solution of inverse function problems in comparison to the algebraic method in students of humanities. We consider only algebraic functions in our study. Three precalculus problems were chosen and two solution methods used. A total of 120 students participated in this study, half of them used the verbal method and the other half the algebraic method. To determine if there was a relationship between the utilized method and the effectiveness of the solution, that is the number of exercises solved correctly related to the type of method used, we used Pearson’s chi-square test. We found a significant association between the type of method and the success of the solution χ2 (1) = 10.84, p < 0.001. Regarding the effect size, we found that the probability to get a correct solution was 3.75 times higher when solved with the verbal method in comparison to the algebraic method. The results of the present study showed that verbal language applied to the solution of inverse function problems is highly effective when compared to the algebraic method".
