Americanismo e iberismo: a questão do atraso na América Latina

This article aims to analyze some aspects os interpretations of Brazil listed in Tavares Bastos, André Rebouças and Oliveira Viana. In this context, the debate on the concepts of americanism and “iberismo” become fundamental to the analysis of the development of the modernization process which it lasted from the second half of the nineteenth century to the mid of the twenty century.

Um modelo cognitivo baseado na atenção para consciência em robôs inteligentes

Understanding consciousness is one of the most fascinating challenges of our time. From ancient civilizations to modern philosophers, questions have been asked on how one is conscious of his/her own existence and about the world that surrounds him/her. Although there is no precise definition for consciousness, there is an agreement that it is strongly related to human cognitive processes such as: thinking, reasoning, emotions, wishes. One of the key processes to the arising of the consciousness is the attention, a process capable of promoting a selection of a few stimuli from a huge amount of information that reaches us constantly. Machine consciousness is the field of the artificial intelligence that investigate the possibility of the production of conscious processes in artificial devices. This work presents a review about the theme of consciousness - in both natural and artificial aspects -, discussing this theme from the philosophical and computational perspectives, and investigates the feasibility of the adoption of an attentional schema as the base to the cognitive processing. A formal computational model is proposed for conscious agents that integrates: short and long term memories, reasoning, planning, emotion, decision making, learning, motivation and volition. Computer experiments in a mobile robotics domain under USARSim simulation environment, proposed by RoboCup, suggest that the agent can be able to use these elements to acquire experiences based on environment stimuli. The adoption of the cognitive architecture over the attentional model has potential to allow the emergence of behaviours usually associated to the consciousness in the simulated mobile robots. Further implementation under this model could potentially allow the agent to express sentience, selfawareness, self-consciousness, autonoetic consciousness, mineness and perspectivalness. By performing computation over an attentional space, the model also allows the ...

Desvalorização pelo atraso, dependência química e impulsividade

Descuento por demora (DD) se refiere a la elección, especialmente influída por el grado de inmediatez con la que una recompensa es liberada, habiendo disminución de su preferencia en función del retraso en su liberación. El DD se relaciona positivamente con la impulsividad y está presente en pacientes con diversos tipos de adicciones y otros trastornos relacionados con la impulsividad. Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar el DD y su relación con la dependencia química a partir de una revisión de estudios que examinaron la correlación entre ellos y, presentar también, la aplicabilidad de los resultados como una medida de la impulsividad. Los estudios han demostrado que la demora está asociada, de manera significativa, con el uso de sustancias y señalaron que su evaluación puede ser una información importante en el proceso de toma de decisiones en el uso de sustancias. Se presentan, también, estrategias de intervención capaces de controlar y cambiar el DD.
