Ce travail de thèse s’appuie fortement sur le concept de « transformation normative du social et de l’intime », transformations induites par les évolutions de l’environnement économique et social vers une exacerbation de l’individualisme renvoyant d’une part aux cadres sociaux et idéologiques et d’autre part aux psychisme des individus souvent mis en difficulté par cette tourmente transformationnelle. Face à cet environnement en transformation rapide, cette thèse relate, à partir d’un cas d’entreprise, l’utilisation du « marketing de combat » dans le domaine social et considère la fragilité et la gestion du rythme optimal de la dynamique apprenante d’un processus de changement. De l’étude de ce cas est déduite l’importance que peut revêtir la médiation sociocognitive. S’y ajoute une tentative de modélisation des résultats concernant le jeu des interactions et rétroactions relatives aux multiples voies du devenir de la liberté individuelle générée par le difficile processus de subjectivation. Le nécessaire développement de la médiation sociocognitive intra-entreprise ou inter-entreprises est requis pour résoudre (purger) les conflits interpersonnels et déployer l’altérité. / This thesis relies heavily on the concept of "normative transformation of both innermost and social being ", transformations induced by changes in the economic and social environment to an exacerbation of individualism on the one hand referring to executives social and ideological and partly to the psyche of individuals often challenged by the turmoil transformational. Faced with this rapidly changing environment, this thesis describes, from a business case, the use of "marketing war" in the social sphere and considers the fragility and managing the optimal pace of learning the dynamics of a process of change. From the study of this research-action is deduced the potential importance of social cognitive mediation. An attempt to model the results concerning the interplay of interactions and feedbacks on multiple pathways of the future of individual freedom generated by the difficult process of subjectivation is added. The necessary development of sociocognitive mediation intra-company or inter-company is required to solve (purge) interpersonal conflicts and deploy otherness.

Os instrumentos foram o exame do ENADE, o exame do EGRAF e o teste psicológico GfRLD. Além disso, doze desses sujeitos foram submetidos a uma testagem individual de alguns componentes da habilidade matemática e a representação mental, além das variáveis estudadas para os 141 estudantes. Para a habilidade e a representação foram utilizados cinco problemas da série XIX-B de Krutetskii e uma entrevista semi-estruturada. Durante a aplicação do teste de Krutetskii, os doze estudantes foram solicitados a pensar em voz alta. Foram feitas anotações complementando informações não captadas via gravação de voz e imagem. Os principais resultados mostraram que nove dos doze estudantes foram considerados mais habilidosos e apresentaram uma tendência para representar os problemas de maneira proposicional. Essa representação sempre que usada por estudantes que dominavam os elementos do problema e suas relações levavamnos ao sucesso em suas soluções. Os desempenhos desses estudantes no ENADE não indicaram estar associados ao fato de serem ingressantes ou concluintes, mas relacionados ao desempenho em nível acadêmico. O raciocínio dedutivo diferiu significativamente entre estudantes concluintes e ingressantes e, dentre os bem e mal sucedidos em atividades acadêmicas. De uma maneira geral, os 141 estudantes tenderam a apresentar associação entre os desempenhos do ENADE e os do EGRAF, que avaliam as inteligências fluido-cristalizadas e cristalizadas, respectivamente / Abstract: he present research explored the relations between the performance in ENADE 2005, the performance in EGRAF and the deductive reasoning of 141 Freshman and Senior students of the Computer Science course when involved in tasks that explored the mathematic thinking. The instruments were the ENADE exam, the EGRAF exam and the psychological test GfRLD. In addition, twelve of those students were submitted to an individual test of some mathematical ability components and the mental representation, over there the variables studied for the 141 students. For the ability and the representation five of Krutetskii's serie XIX- B series problems and a semi structurated interview were used. During the application of the Krutetskii's test, the twelve students were invited to think out loud. Notes were made to complement information not captured by the voice and image videotape. The main results showed that nine out of twelve students were considered more skilful and presented a tendency to represent the problems in a propositional way. This representation when used by students that dominated the elements of the problem and its relations took them to success in their solutions. Those students' performances in ENADE indicated no association with the fact that they were Freshmen or Senior students, but they were related with the level academic performance. The deductive reasoning differed significantly between Freshmen and Senior students and, between well and bad succeeded in academic tasks. In general, the 141 students tended to present association between ENADE performance and EGRAF performance, that evaluate the fluid-crystallized and crystallized intelligences, respectively / Doutorado / Psicologia, Desenvolvimento Humano e Educação / Doutor em Educação

Na teoria de Freud, o conceito de realidade é central, sendo trabalhado do princípio ao fim da obra. Sustentamos que também é o caso em relação a Lacan. Articulando percepção e representação, a concepção de Freud é que a realidade se dá como atribuição de sentido. Ou seja, não há, para nós, uma realidade meramente dada: a realidade humana se constrói. Já Lacan, expressamente a partir de Freud, enfatiza a importância da relação do sujeito com o Outro na atribuição de sentido que é matriz da realidade humana. A exposição sobre Freud se vale da análise do conceito de representação e de sua importância na teoria da neurose, passando pelos conceitos de realidade psíquica, de fantasia e da teoria de constituição do indivíduo, terminando na idéia, tardia e crucial, de desamparo. Quanto a Lacan, retomamos a concepção de registro do simbólico e as concepções de significante e significado, e suas articulações com os tempos do Édipo e a constituição do sujeito. O estádio do espelho, as estruturas clínicas, a constituição do registro do imaginário e os esquemas R e L são referidos como elementos de explicitação da constituição da realidade a partir da relação com o Outro. Terminamos na referência ao registro do real a partir da introdução do objeto a. Em Freud e Lacan, de modos distintos, mas não excludentes, a realidade é pensada a partir da intersubjetividade e da situação de desamparo constitutiva do sujeito (Freud) ou de falta (Lacan). / In Freuds theory, the reality concept is central, it have been worked from the beginning to the end of it. We sustain that it is the same with Lacan. Articulating perception and representation, Freuds conception is that reality is a sense production. It means there isnt, to us, a reality merely given: human reality is built. Lacan, starting in Freud, emphasizes the importance of the relation between the subject and the Other on producing the sense that is the matrix of human reality. The exposition about Freud uses analyses of the concept of representation and its importance on neuroses theory, passing thru concepts of psychics reality, fantasy and the theory of individual constitution, getting to the crucial and late idea of helpless. In the matter of Lacan, we retake the conception of register of symbolic and conceptions of (significante) and meaning and its articulation with Oedipus age and the constitution of the subject. The mirror stadium, the clinical structures, the construction of the imaginary register and, the schemas R and L are referred as elements of explicitation of reality constitution from the relation to the Other. We finish on the reference on the register of real starting from the introduction of a object. In Freud and Lacan, in different ways, but not excluding each other, reality is thought from the inter subjectivity and the constitutive helpless situation of the subject (Freud) or lack (Lacan).

La préhension modifiée après tétraplégie repose sur la ténodèse. Ses caractéristiques cinématiques sont : un transport poignet fléchi, étendant les doigts puis une saisie poignet étendu, fléchissant les doigts et produisant les prises palmaires et latérales passives. Les deux phases de la préhension sont réalisées successivement après tétraplégie contrairement au maintien du couplage des deux phases du sujet sain. Les caractéristiques cinématiques des autres mouvements du membre supérieur en chaîne cinétique ouverte sont la conservation des invariants de précision et d'économie pour la programmation des gestes malgré la réduction du nombre de degrés disponibles après tétraplégie mais au détriment d'une réduction de la vitesse d'exécution. Le temps de mouvement augmente probablement pour maintenir la précision finale ou consécutivement au déficit moteur. L'extension du coude sans triceps repose sur l'augmentation des mouvements des articulations proximales de l'épaule. Cependant cette compensation est incomplète comme l'atteste la réduction de l'espace de capture supérieur où le déficit moteur des muscles agonistes, synergiques stabilisateurs de la scapulothoracique et du coude mais également la raideur et les douleurs de l'épaule sont impliqués. L'imagerie motrice (i) améliore la préhension par ténodèse, (ii) conduit une plasticité d'adaptation, (iii) améliore qualité et structure temporelle de l'imagerie. Ainsi, la préhension gagne en reproductibilité avec une réduction de la variabilité du temps de mouvement. L'extension du poignet augmente lors de la saisie attestant le renforcement du mécanisme de compensation par ténodèse pour réaliser les prises. L'imagerie motrice favorise une plasticité cérébrale adaptative avec réduction des activations des cortex prémoteur et moteur primaire anormalement augmentées après tétraplégie. Enfin, les hauts scores de vivacité sont associés à une imagerie ralentie révélant un contrôle de la qualité de la représentation mentale au détriment de sa structure temporelle. Après imagerie, la qualité de la reconstruction mentale se renforce et la structure temporelle s'améliore / Tetraplegia alters active prehension which relies on tenodesis. Its kinematic characteristics are flexion of the wrist during transport and extension of the wrist during grasping eliciting lateral and palmar grips. Transport and grasping are two consecutive movements as opposed to healthy reach-to-grasp where transport and grasping are coupled. Others open chain upper limb movements showed that despite the degrees of freedom reduction, the central nervous system still plan movements using kinematic invariants like endmovements accuracy and movement economy but at the cost of velocity that decrease. The increase of movement time can be due to the requierement of endmovement accuracy, motor deficit like inability to generate cocontraction at the elbow level being due to triceps paralysis. Despite triceps brachii paralysis, shoulder movements trigger elbow extension. However, this compensation is incomplete as shown by the decrease of superior maximal reaching. This could be due to the deficit of agonist muscles along with proximal and distal synergic stabilizer, shoulder range of motion decrease and shoulder pain. Motor imagery results in (i) prehension improvement attesting that the compensation is strengthened (ii) cortical adaptive plasticity (iii) increase in quality and temporal structure of mental reconstruction. Thereby, consistency of prehension increases as shown by the reduction of movement time variability. Wrist extension increased during grasping attesting a strengthening of tenodesis compensatory mechanism to produce grips. Motor imagery elicited adaptive brain plasticity with reduction of premotor and primary motor cortex activations that are abnormally increased after tetraplegia. Finally, motor imagery control is based on movement quality to the detriment of temporal structure. In response to motor imagery, movement quality is further enhanced and temporal structure is improved. Thereby, prehension is improved in response to motor imagery. Thus, corrective and adaptive plasticity could be promoted

Les nouvelles pratiques d’aide médicale à la procréation, notamment celle qu’on appelle « le don d’ovocyte » bouleverse le sens de la parentalité. Elle oblige chacun d’entre nous à expliciter ses conceptions de la vie, à énoncer ses priorités, mais elle oblige aussi la collectivité à prendre conscience d’elle-même et de ce qui peut être acceptable. Est-il moralement satisfaisant qu’une femme donne ses ovocytes pour qu’une autre ait un enfant ?En interrogeant 50 donneuses d’ovocytes, ce travail a cherché à mieux comprendre la signification d’un tel geste.La procréation par don, défie nos habitudes et nos manières de penser. Elle nous réinterroge sur notre capacité de fraternité comme réponse d’un appel de l’un pour l’autre, elle cherche à donner une juste place à ce tiers-donneur qui s’insinue (presque malgré lui) dans un arbre généalogique. Elle bouleverse notre rapport à l’enfant qui se pose comme « un ayant droit à connaître ses origines ». En définitive, ce n’est pas tant la question de l’anonymat du don qui nous importe que ce qu’il en est de l’homme, de son altérité et de ses responsabilités / Reproductive technology, in particular oocyte or egg donation, upsets the meaning of parenthood and raises questions about the circumstances surrounding those who decide to have a child by means of this technology. A woman using egg donation must come to grips with questions such as the meaning of life, and what it means to be a mother. But it also requires that society become aware of what is morally acceptable. Is it morally acceptable for the egg donor to give her eggs to anotherwoman who wants to have a child? We would like to gloss over these issues by the power of love or by the growth of the uterus, but these issues will remain in the minds of everyone and will circulate in the subconscious. The purpose of this essay is to grapple with these issues. Reproduction by gift, it challenges our habits and ways of thinking. It causes us to re-examine the companionship among two people, it creates a role for the egg donor who, almost despite herself, inserts herself into the family tree. It disrupts the relationship being the parents and the child who demands the right to know where they came from. Ultimately, the focus rests not on the anonymity of the egg donor but on the father, his otherness and his responsibility.

Esta investigación exploró las representaciones mentales de las madres hacia sus hijos producto de embarazos no planificados, desde una perspectiva y marco psicoanalíticos. El estudio se desarrolló bajo un enfoque fenomenológico, abordado desde un paradigma de investigación cualitativa. Se exploraron 10 casos de madres de 21 a 32 años, a través de la recopilación de información mediante el uso de dos instrumentos, los cuales se usaron en complementariedad: la guía de preguntas, elaborada según la teoría de Stern (1997); y una entrevista cualitativa semiestructurada. Los resultados fueron analizados y organizados temáticamente, y revelaron que la construcción de sus representaciones sobre la maternidad tiene, en su mayoría, una base preelaborada desde la experiencia que vivieron con su propia madre; desplegando así, fantasías de su autorepresentación como madre. Un hallazgo importante, es que las madres que en su mayoría expresaron el deseo de no repetir su propia crianza, fueron las que reconocieron que lo estaban haciendo. Asimismo, se puede observar que la mayor cantidad de entrevistadas “no recuerda” haber tenido mayores expectativas o predicciones de su propio hijo, por lo que coincide con el hijo que hoy día ven. La presencia que esta autorepresentación tiene dentro de su propia psique desde antes de la concepción juega un papel relevante en la manera en cómo su propio hijo y su pareja serán percibidos en el futuro. / This research explored the mental representations of the mother towards her child as a result of an unplanned pregnancy, from a psychoanalytic perspective and framework. The study was developed under a phenomenological approach, approached from a qualitative research paradigm. 10 cases of mothers aged 21 to 32 years were explored through the collection of information through the use of two instruments, which worked in complementarity: the question guide developed according to Stern's theory (1997); and a semi-structured qualitative interview. The results were analyzed and organized thematically, and revealed that the construction of their representations about motherhood has, for the most part, a pre-elaborated base from the experience they lived with their own mother; thus displaying fantasies of her self-representation as a mother. An important finding so far is the mothers who mostly expressed the desire not to repeat their own upbringing were the ones who recognized that they were doing it. Likewise, it can be observed the largest number of interviewees "do not remember" having had higher expectations or predictions of their own child, so it coincides with the child they see today. The presence that this self-representation has within her own psyche from before conception plays a relevant role in how her own child and her partner will be perceived in the future. / Tesis

La presente investigación buscó comparar las Representaciones de Apego Adulto y del Rol Materno en una muestra de madres de niños con Trastorno del Espectro Autista de Lima Metropolitana según su estilo de apego predominante. Participaron en el estudio 100 madres, entre 26 y 52 años. Los instrumentos utilizados para evaluar las variables fueron el CaMir – R y la Escala de Representaciones Mentales del Rol Materno (RMRM). Se encontró predominancia del estilo de apego inseguro, ya que 69 madres contaron con dicho estilo. Asimismo, se encontraron diferencias significativas entre las madres con estilo de apego seguro e inseguro en cuatro dimensiones del CaMir-R: las madres con estilo de apego seguro alcanzaron mayores puntuaciones en las representaciones de seguridad y disponibilidad; mientras que las madres con estilo de apego inseguro lograron mayores puntuaciones en las representaciones de permisividad parental, autosuficiencia y rencor y en traumatismo infantil. Finalmente, se hallaron diferencias significativas en las representaciones mentales del rol materno negativas, ya que las madres con estilo de apego inseguro alcanzaron puntuaciones superiores. / The aim of the present study was to analyze the Adult Attachment Representations and Maternal Representations in a group of mothers of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Lima Metropolitana. The participants were 100 mothers aged 26 to 52 years. The instruments used to assess these variables were the CaMir-R and the Maternal Representations Scale. The predominant attachment style was insecure attachment, since 69 mothers had this style. The results showed significant differences between mothers with secure and insecure attachment style in four dimensions of CaMir-R: mothers with a secure attachment style got higher scores in Security and Availability representations, while mothers with an insecure attachment style got higher scores in Parental Permissiviness, Self-sufficiency and Resentment, and in Infantile Traumatism. Finally, significant differences in the negative maternal representations were also found, since mothers with insecure attachment style obtained higher scores. / Tesis

This thesis explores the use of artificial neural networks for modelling cognitive processes. It presents an exposition of the neural network paradigm, and evaluates its viability in relation to the classical, symbolic approach in cognitive science. Classical researchers have approached the description of cognition by concentrating mainly on an abstract, algorithmic level of description in which the information processing properties of cognitive processes are emphasised. The approach is founded on seminal ideas about computation, and about algorithmic description emanating, amongst others, from the work of Alan Turing in mathematical logic. In contrast to the classical conception of cognition, neural network approaches are based on a form of neurocomputation in which the parallel distributed processing mechanisms of the brain are highlighted. Although neural networks are generally accepted to be more neurally plausible than their classical counterparts, some classical researchers have argued that these networks are best viewed as implementation models, and that they are therefore not of much relevance to cognitive researchers because information processing models of cognition can be developed independently of considerations about implementation in physical systems. In the thesis I argue that the descriptions of cognitive phenomena deriving from neural network modelling cannot simply be reduced to classical, symbolic theories. The distributed representational mechanisms underlying some neural network models have interesting properties such as similarity-based representation, content-based retrieval, and coarse coding which do not have straightforward equivalents in classical systems. Moreover, by placing emphasis on how cognitive processes are carried out by brain-like mechanisms, neural network research has not only yielded a new metaphor for conceptualising cognition, but also a new methodology for studying cognitive phenomena. Neural network simulations can be lesioned to study the effect of such damage on the behaviour of the system, and these systems can be used to study the adaptive mechanisms underlying learning processes. For these reasons, neural network modelling is best viewed as a significant theoretical orientation in the cognitive sciences, instead of just an implementational endeavour. / Psychology / D.

O que quer uma mulher... grávida? Para uma pergunta clássica, uma resposta também clássica: a saúde do bebê. Nesta pesquisa, a representação do corpo do feto foi referência para o exame dos mecanismos regressivos, presentes no discurso de três mulheres, nas últimas semanas de gestação. Foi realizada, com cada uma delas, uma entrevista semidirigida, e o discurso, analisado pelas balizas teóricas fornecidas pelas obras de Freud e Winnicott. Na gestação, à semelhança do estado de sono, parte das excitações psíquicas terá um caminho regrediente. Conceito mutável, de origem múltipla e com diversos pontos de chegada. Desde a Interpretação dos sonhos, Freud proporá inúmeras ordenações: regressão tópica, temporal, formal, da libido do ego versus libidinal, regressão ao narcisismo primário e à alucinação do desejo, regressão aos primeiros objetos versus a toda organização sexual e regressão do eu. Para Winnicott, o mecanismo refere-se à regressão do eu a estados de maior dependência e indiferenciação. A leitura de Soifer e Langer propiciou uma aproximação psicanalítica da experiência gestacional em seus aspectos fantasmáticos, regressivos e estruturantes, e o livro Obstetrícia psicossomática ampliou o campo, na perspectiva médica. Na Psicanálise, orientada pela leitura de Bleichmar, Schneider, Simanke e Gurfinkel, aspectos da obra de Winnicott e Freud ganharam maior relevo e originalidade. Nas leituras realizadas, o foco na representação do corpo do feto apontava para as fantasias gestacionais sobre o bebê que, por sua vez, remetiam a desejos emergentes da elaboração edipiana e ao horror do incesto. Um funcionamento psíquico especial deve estar em ação para que desejos tão primitivos sejam evocados. Nesta configuração especial, a característica discursiva, descrita por Schneider como fala catártica, conjugava a intensidade à convocação de um experimentar com, presente no desdobramento da vontade insaciável de ver o bebê: ver, ver-se, vê-lo, ser vista, ver e não enxergar, não ver, ver a gente... Necessidade universal que parece fazer referência ao gradativo esfumaçamento das fronteiras entre fantasia e realidade. Assim, a preocupação com a saúde, capaz de centrifugar a atenção de uma mulher, parece surgir onde a imaginação, sobrecarregada de imagens e afetos, desiste. Entre o ideal e o real invisível resta, portanto, a saúde, esta abertura, este hiato pleno de sonhos e temores, constituintes de um espaço que sustenta, sob tensão, desejo e mistério. Entre conflitos exuberantes, que envolveram a representação do corpo do feto, a regressão temida pelos obstetras fonte de desorganização do ego mostrou-se fonte de transformação. Quando o psiquismo se volta para suas bases, reencontra um momento de profunda criação. Ao postular a regressão como origem da figurabilidade, Freud apresenta seu aspecto criativo, construtivo. Em Winnicott, a criatividade está na possibilidade de retorno ao estado de não-integração primária que, segundo Gurfinkel, é o precursor do conceito de Informe. / What does a woman wantwhen pregnant? For such a classic question, an answer of the same nature: the health of the baby. In this research, the representation of the foetus body was the reference for examination of the regressive mechanisms found in the speech of 3 women in their last weeks of pregnancy. A half-guided interview was carried through with each one of them and the speech was analyzed in the light of the theoretical basis established in the works of Freud and Winnicott. During the gestation, as it happens during the sleep state, part of the psychic excitements has the course directed to a regressive way. Changeable concept, with multiple origins and a variety of destinations, Freud, since the Interpretation of the Dreams, had considered the regression as follows: topical, temporal, formal; libido of the ego versus libidinal; to the primary narcissism and the desires hallucination; to first objects versus the whole sexual organization and the regression of Ego. For Winnicott the mechanism is related to the regression of self to fusional states. Regarding the pregnancy, the works of Raquel Soifer and Marie Langer propitiated a psychoanalytical approach of the gestational experience in its fantasmatic, regressive and structuring aspects and the book Psychosomatic Obstetrics extended the field under the medical perspective. In the Psychoanalysis, guided for Bleichmar, Schneider, Simanke and Gurfinkel studies, aspects of the Winnicott and Freud works had gained greater detailing and originality. In those readings, the focus in the representation of the foetus body pointed towards the gestational fantasies, which, in turn, sent to emerging desires of the Edipian elaboration and the horror of the incest. A special psychic functioning must operate so that primitive desires can be evoked. In that special configuration, the discursive characteristic described by Schneider as cathartic speech, link its intensity to the need of one to try with, existing in the desire to see the baby: to see, to see herself, to see it, to be seen, to see and not to see, to see nothing, to see us. Universal necessity, it seems making reference to the gradual reduction of the boundaries between fantasy and reality. Thus, the concern with the health, that capture the attention of a woman, appears when the imagination, overloaded of images and affections, gives up. Between the ideal and the invisible Real, it remains the health, this full hiatus of dreams and fears, where is under tension, desire and mystery. Between exuberant conflicts that had involved the representation of the foetus body, the regression, source of disorganization of the Ego, presented itself as the source of transformation. When the psychms return to its bases, a moment of deep creation is reborn. When claiming the regression as the origin of the figurability, Freud presents its creative and constructive aspect; while in Winnicott the creativity lay down in the possibility of return to the state of primary not-integration, according to Gurfinkel, precursor of the Inform Concept.
