Validación de algunas medidas del modelo EI de Guilford : la evaluación de unidades.

El presente estudio es una réplica del modelo EI de Guilford, la parcela correspondiente a la evaluación de unidades de contenido figurativo (EFU), simbólico (ESU), semántico (EMU) y conductual (EBU), estudiando asímismo las relaciones con otros paradigmas (la tarea de Posner), sus características predictivas del rendimiento académico y la medida en que están influídos por variables referentes a la formación académica, la edad y algunas variables sociométricas. 180 estudiantes de la Universidad de La Laguna, de los cuales 77 estudian la rama de Electricidad y 103 estudiantes la rama de Administrativo. Sus edades oscilan entre los 13 y 24 años. Diseño factorial. A) Variables predictoras: son las medidas de los rasgos psicométricos, ya que son consideradas como medidas de características estables de los sujetos. B) Variables criterio: las medidas de rendimiento académico correspondientes a la primera evaluación de curso; se tomaron 13 medidas: Cálculo, Ciencias Naturales, Contabilidad, Formación Humana, Física-Química, Inglés, Lengua Española, Matemáticas, Mecanografía, Práctica Técnica Común, Técnica de Expresión Gráfica, Tecnología. C) Variables moduladoras: datos personales y familiares. 1. Batería de aptitudes mentales primarias (PMA); batería de test para la selección del personal administrativo (SET); batería factorial de aptitudes (BFA); formas idénticas; Minessotta Clerical test (MCT); test de aptitudes administrativas II (GCT); test de aptitudes diferenciales (DAT); test de cuadrados de letras (CL); test de percepción de diferencias (caras) Toulouse Pieron (T-P). 2. Pruebas construidas: test de discriminación de firmas manuscritas (EBU); Tarea de Posner (ESU). La versión oblicua del modelo de Guilford proporciona una alternativa muy valiosa de la estructura de la inteligencia. El estudio de todas las facetas del modelo y su aplicación educativa, podría aportar una información valiosa. Sería interesante estudiar el campo de los contenidos conductuales.

Management of co-occurring substance use disorders

Reviewing the breadth of current knowledge on schizophrenia, this handbook provides clear, practical guidelines for effective assessment and treatment in diverse contexts. Leading authorities have contributed 61 concise chapters on all aspects of the disorder and its clinical management. In lieu of exhaustive literature reviews, each chapter summarizes the current state of the science; highlights key points the busy practitioner needs to know; and lists recommended resources, including seminal research studies, invaluable clinical tools, and more. Comprehensive, authoritative, and timely, the volume will enable professionals in any setting to better understand and help their patients or clients with severe mental illness.

An Investigation of Organic Factors in the Neuropsychological Functioning of Patients with Borderline Personality Disorder

The hypothesis to be tested in this study was that the cognitive deficits that have been documented in patients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) are largely the consequence of organic insult, either developmental or acquired. Using a cross–sectional design, 80 subjects (males and females) who met the criteria for BPD participated in the study. They completed a battery of neuropsychological tests and a comprehensive interview assessing organic status as well as measures of the potentially confounding factors of current levels of depression and anxiety. It was expected that BPD-patients with a probable history of organic insult would perform significantly worse than would BPD patients without such a history. Analyses of the results provided partial support for the hypothesis. Subjects with both BPD and a history of organic insult were significantly more impaired on several measures including measures of attention than were BPD only subjects. The results suggested that the impaired cognitive performance of persons diagnosed with BPD may, in part, be attributed to organic factors.
