讲座内容简介

幽默理解是一个复杂的认知过程，近年来吸引了很多学者从不同角度对其进行解读。以往，学者们大多视幽默为一种语言现象进行研究，几乎没人关注幽默的神经心理加工过程。因此本讲座包括以下三个方面的内容：顿悟在幽默加工中的促进作用；生命周期不同阶段的幽默理解与加工机制；汉语幽默加工的ERP研究。

讲座二：Embodied meaning in language and memory

讲座内容简介

Understanding action-related sentences like ‘Yang cuts the paper”involves the activation of sensory-motor areas in the brain. This is considered as proof of embodied meaning. I will present some research demonstrating that embodied representations are necessary for comprehension and they have consequences in our memory. Specifically, interfering motor processes impairs comprehension and recall of action language. By contrast, enhancing motor processes by means of brain stimulation improves comprehension and recall of action language.

主讲专家简介

Professor of Basic Psychology at the University of La Laguna since 1982, where he maintains an uninterrupted teaching and scientific activity in the field of cognitive and brain processes in language. He is the founder and current director of the University Institute of Neuroscience (IUNE), where he and his collaborators develop studies with techniques of electroencephalography, non-invasive brain stimulation and functional neuroimaging. His main lines of research are directed to the neurophysiology and neuroanatomy of linguistic meaning. Specifically, how the brain reuses neural networks of action, inhibition, perception and emotion for the understanding of language.

He has been visiting professor and has developed scientific exchanges in several research centers in the United States (Harvard, Illinois, Oregon, Wisconsin and Memphis), Italy (Bologna, Padua and Rome), Germany (Saarbrucken, Dresden and Freiburg), France (Paris and CNRS), the United Kingdom (Sussex and York), the Netherlands (Max Plank Institute of Psycholinguistics), Cuba (Center of Neurosciences of Cuba), Chile (Concepción), Argentina (Institute of Cognitive Neurology) and China (Dalian). He has been the principal researcher of more than a dozen of competitive projects; has directed 18 doctoral theses and published about 100 articles, mostly in international journals, and has written or edited 6 books in the fields of Cognitive Psychology, Psycholinguistics and Cognitive Neuroscience. He has received 6 research Awards from the Spanish Government, the maximum possible number, in recognition to his continued scientific productivity. He has been president of the Spanish Society of Experimental Psychology, is Fellow of the Society for Text and Discourse and received the 2017 Research Award from the University of La Laguna.

讲座三：Promotion of positive parenting to foster child development

讲座内容简介

The Council of Europe (2006) recommended to all its members to support positive parenting to foster child development and wellbeing. Positive parenting is defined as: “parental behavior based on the best interest of the child that is nurturing, empowering, non-violent and provides recognition and guidance which involves setting of boundaries to enable the full development of the child”. This recommendation also includes the improvement of the child and family services and professional competence in the work with families. Family policies at national and local levels are established to provide parental support by means of psycho-educational and community services to help parents to provide the best childrearing environment to their children. Therefore, local social services, school centers and primary health centers provides parental support aimed at improving parental and child competences. In this presentation I showcase the efforts made in Spain, the parenting programs developed and the results obtained to promote child development and wellbeing.

María José Rodrigo

Ph.D. in Psychology for the University of Salamanca. Director of the Master Programme on Family Intervention and Mediation at the University of La Laguna, Spain. President of the European Association of Developmental Psychology (2008-2011). Fellow since 2010 of the Association for Psychological Science (APS) for sustained and outstanding distinguished contributions to psychological science. Organizer of several posgraduate courses on Evidence-based Parent Education Programs and Best Practices to Promote Positive Parenting sponsored by the Council of Europe and the Jacobs Foundation. Expert commissioned by the Spanish Ministry of Health, Social Policy and Equality to promote good practices among professionals in the use of evidence-based and preventive approaches for family work. Her research topic is Evidence-based parenting programmes to promote positive parenting in the families under at risk circumstances and prevent child maltreatment on which she has published many international papers. Prof. Rodrigo and her team have designed, implemented and evaluated group parenting programs targeted at families referred by the local social services, which are widely spread in Spain and currently starting in Portugal and Brasil. Prof. Rodrigo and her team have also developed a web resource for Spanish-speaking parents ”Educar en Positivo” that contains an on-line evidence-based parenting programme (http://www.educarenpositivo.es). Dr. Rodrigo is also involved in a second line of research on developmental neuroscience with two topics: a) the study of the neurological and personality bases of maternal insensitivity to infant signals in neglectful mothers; and b) the study of the neural networks activated in adolescents’ risky decision-making in social contexts.
