Extended validation of the Relational Depth Frequency Scale: Retest reliability, divergent validity, criterion validity with psychotherapy satisfaction, and measurement invariance in UK‐ and US‐stratified samples:Retest reliability, divergent and criterion validity, and measurement invariance in UK- and US-stratified samples
No full textAbstractBackgroundThe Relational Depth Frequency Scale (RDFS) assesses moments of profound connection in psychotherapy, associated with therapeutic benefit. To date, the RDFS has not been tested for its retest reliability, divergent and criterion validity, and measurement invariance, nor has it been tested in stratified samples of psychotherapy patients.MethodsTwo stratified online samples of United Kingdom (n = 514) and United States (n = 402) psychotherapy patients filled out the RDFS, the Brief Social Desirability Scale (BSDS); and the Satisfaction with Therapy and Therapist Scale‐revised (STTS‐R). Two subsamples of patients (United Kingdom: n = 50 and United States: n = 203) filled out the RDFS again after 1 month.ResultsReliability for the six‐item RDFS were excellent in United Kingdom and United States samples (Cronbach's α = 0.91 and 0.92; retest r = 0.73 and r = 0.76). Divergent (r = 0.10 and r = 0.12) and criterion validity (r = 0.69; and r = 0.70) were good. Full scalar invariance was established across countries, genders, and time.ConclusionThis contributes important evidence to the validity of the RDFS. Future research should assess predictive validity against psychotherapy outcomes and replicate these analyses in diverse samples
The Symbiotic Match of AVT & Tech Industry:State-Of-The-Art and Way Forward
Get PDFThe Audiovisual Translation (AVT) sector and the Tech industry have been inseparable, a symbiotic match.In the AVT field, the introduction of the DVD in 1995 was the most significant development in the field ofAVT, profoundly influencing the nature of professional practices. It had «repercussions not only in the wayaudiovisual programmes started to be packaged, marketed and consumed, but also from a quantitativeperspective» (Díaz-Cintas 2013: 119). Yet, the greatest catalyst of changes in communications and AVThas always been the Internet (Díaz-Cintas 2013: 119).In the last decade, the world around us has radically altered. On a daily basis, we are immersed in anaudiovisual reality, surrounded by Video Streaming on Demand (SVoD) systems, where players likeNetflix spend billions of dollars in new productions reaching volumes of content that were impossible onlya decade ago. New experiments with advanced technologies applied to AVT have been consistently carriedout since 2000 to meet the demands of SVoD systems: automatic speech recognition (ASR) able to‘understand’ the voices in a dialogue, and neural machine translation (NMT) processes have been appliedto the production of subtitled versions of films and TV shows to a large extent, generating new roles in theindustry and creating new debates about the ethics of technology in the AVT industry.<br/
Exploring semantic verbal fluency patterns and their relationship to age and Alzheimer's disease in adults with Down syndrome
No full textINTRODUCTION: Adults with Down syndrome (DS) are at ultra-high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD), characterized by poor episodic memory and semantic fluency in the preclinical phase in the general population. We explored semantic fluency performance in DS and its relationship to age, AD, and blood biomarkers.METHODS: A total of 302 adults with DS at baseline and 87 at follow-up from the London Down Syndrome Consortium cohort completed neuropsychological assessments. Blood biomarkers were measured with the single molecule array technique in a subset of 94 participants.RESULTS: Poorer verbal fluency performance was observed as age increases. Number of correct words declined in those with AD compared to those without over 2 years and was negatively correlated with neurofilament light (r = -0.37, P = .001) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (r = -0.31, P = .012).DISCUSSION: Semantic fluency may be useful as an early indicator of cognitive decline and provide additional information on AD-related change, showing associations with biomarkers in DS.</p

The Role of Temperaments in Philosophical Inquiry: A Pragmatic Approach
Get PDFIn his Pragmatism lectures, William James famously argued that personal temperaments had an important role to play in philosophical inquiry. Our temperamental natures help determine which philosophical theories we find satisfying and their influence explains persistent disagreement in the history of philosophy. Crucially, James was not just making a descriptive claim about the formation of our philosophical preferences. James was also making a radical normative claim: that temperaments could play a legitimate epistemic role in our philosophical inquiries. This paper aims to evaluate and defend this more radical claim. This temperamental metaphilosophy has been roundly criticised both in James’ own time and in our own. This paper identifies three key problems for James’ view: (1) that allowing temperaments to play a role in our inquiry would dissolve that inquiry by replacing philosophical disagreements with psychological differences; (2) that introducing temperamental differences into our inquiries would allow entirely arbitrary elements to influence the outcome of those inquiries; and (3) that a view in which our temperamental natures could have an epistemic role would assume an implausible metaphysical picture. Through clarifying the exact nature of temperaments, and what would count as a satisfactory philosophical theory on a pragmatist account, this paper argues that there is an available interpretation of James’ metaphilosophical claims which can provide satisfactory responses to these problems. In addition, this interpretation has the benefit of connecting James’ position with a wider pragmatist tradition in which affective states ground philosophical inquiry
