"First, I will get the marbles." Children's foresight abilities in a modified spoon task
No full textPrevious methodologies used to investigate future thinking (i.e., one-step “spoon test”) do not directly assess temporal reasoning. Consequently, the extent to which foresight is required to solve these tasks has been questioned. In the current study, 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds were presented with atwo-step“spoon test”: to secure a future need (e.g., play with a marble run game), childrenfirsthad to obtain a key that allowed themnextto access the marbles. By the age of 4 children selected the key; however, it is only by the age of 5 that children reasoned about the temporal sequence of future eventsandselected the key. Temporal reasoning, memory for the past events and age significantly contributed to predict children’s ability to select the correct item. These findings suggest that temporal reasoning is crucial to assess future thinking and that item-choice measures alone might not involve foresight
Ponencia sobre "Unión Nacional Veterinaria" por D. Félix Gordon Ordas en Barcelona (1917)
No full textResumen. Féliz Gordon Ordas (León 1885 - Méjico 1973). De 1913 a 1916 desarrolló una campaña intensiva con charlas por todas las provincias españolaspara unir a todos los veterinarios mediante Colegios Provinciales y así mejorar el nivel científico, social y económico del veterinario. En la 4ª Asamblea Nacional de Veterinaria, celebrada en 1917 en Barcelona, presentó la Ponencia "Unión Nacional Veterinaria", en ella resumió toda la labor hecha en los años 1913 a 1916, en las diversas provincias española, y que empezó por las periféricas. destacando las que hizo en Valladolid, Barcelona. Girona, Zaragoza, Toledo y Murcia
Conferencia de D. Felix Gordon Ordas en Barcelona en 1913 y sobre "La política del Campo"
No full textFelix Gordon Ordas, nacido en León en 1885, estudió Veterinaria en León acabando en 1905, con brillante expediente. En 1909, sacó el nº1 en el Cuerpo de Inspectores Provinciales de Higiene y Sanidad Pecuarias, pasando destinado a Madrid. Muy pronto se dio cuenta, que el nivel científico, social y económico del veterinario (salvo honrosas excepciones) era muy bajo. Que en la Administración Pública, las estructuras veterinarias eran insuficientes y dispersas, y que la Sociedad desconocía la utilidad del veterinario. Gordon sabe que hay fuerza y razones para ganarse un puesto más alto y digno en la sociedad y para conseguirlo, los veterinarios debemos unirnos en Colegios provinciales y luchar basándose en competencia, diligencia y honradez, pero con fuerza, gallardía y aportando razones. Gordon pasó 3 activisimos años (1913-16), extendiendo y explicando su evangelio veterinario en todas las provincias, empezando por las periféricas
'Will I Want These Stickers Tomorrow?' Preschoolers' Ability to Predict Current and Future Needs
No full textBetween 3 and 5 years of age children develop the ability to plan for their own and others' future needs; however, they have great difficulty predicting future needs that conflict with current ones. Importantly, this ability has only been tested in the domain of physiological states (e.g., thirst). Therefore, it is still an open question whether in a different context preschoolers can disengage from their current needs to secure a different future one. In a Resource Allocation task, 4- and 5-year-olds had to distribute three types of rewards between themselves and another child for either "right now" or "tomorrow." Children's current needs were manipulated by providing them (or not) with their preferred reward at beginning of the task. Only 5-year-olds could predict future needs that conflict with their current ones and act accordingly. Younger children's performance is discussed in the context of temporal and social distance

No full textEl veterinario D. Felix Gordón Ordas (León 1885-Méjico 1973), destinado en 1909 a Madrid como Inspector Provincial de Higiene y Sanidad Pecuaria. A partir de 1913, quiso mejorar el nivel científico, social y económico de los veterinarios de principios del siglo XX e intentar crear un Organismo que agrupara a todas las estructuras veterinarias que estaban dispersas e incompletas, y además dar a conocer la utilidad del veterinario. Pasó 3 activisimos años (1913-16) explicando su "evangelio veterinario" en todas las provincias españolas, empezando por las periféricas. Hecha en plan intensivo toda la citada labor y ayudado también por eficaces colaboradores, presentó la Ponencia titulada "UNIÓN NACIONAL VETERINARIA", en la Cuarta Asamblea Nacional de Veterinaria de Barcelona, celebrada en 1917, explicando la labor hecha en los citados 3 años, y al final presentar a votación, las 10 bases para la creación de la ASOCIACIÓN NACIONAL VETERINARIA y que resultó un éxito. Gracias a lo ealizado, se adelantó la fundación de la Asociación Nacional de Veterinarios Españoles (ANVE) y que fue una realidad en 1923

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

It is about time: Conceptual and experimental evaluation of the temporal cognitive mechanisms in mental time travel
No full textMental time travel (MTT) is the ability that allows humans to mentally project themselves backwards in time to remember past events (i.e., episodic memory) or forwards in time to imagine future events (i.e., future thinking). Despite empirical evidence showing that animals might possess MTT abilities, some still claim that this ability is uniquely human. Recent debates have suggested that it is the temporal cognitive mechanism (i.e., ability to represent the sense of past and future) that makes MTT uniquely human. Advances in the field have been constrained by a lack of comparative data, methodological shortcomings that prevent meaningful comparisons, and a lack of clear conceptualizations of the temporal cognitive mechanism. Here I will present a comprehensive review into MTT in humans and animals—with a particular focus on great apes. I will examine three of the most prominent and influential theoretical models of human MTT. Drawing on these accounts, I suggest that a basic way of understanding time might be shared across species, however culture and language will play a critical role at shaping the way we elaborate mental representations about past and future events
