A similaridade fonológica tem sido estudada desde a década de 1970, tendo contribuído de maneira essencial para o entendimento acerca do funcionamento da memória de trabalho. Vários trabalhos têm se dedicado ao estudo da similaridade visual, da possibilidade de correspondência entre esta e a similaridade fonológica, sem, entretanto, chegar a um consenso sobre a natureza de seu efeito sobre o desempenho em tarefas de reconhecimento. No presente trabalho, tivemos como objetivo caracterizar os efeitos da similaridade através da análise de algumas variáveis que possivelmente estariam relacionadas aos efeitos da similaridade na memória de trabalho. Realizou-se inicialmente uma avaliação dos estímulos a serem utilizados a fim de validar a classificação destes em diferentes níveis de similaridade. Em um segundo momento, foi realizada uma tarefa de reconhecimento na qual foram manipulados o nível de similaridade entre estímulos, o intervalo de retenção e a forma de apresentação dos estímulos. Os resultados demonstram que a similaridade visual entre os estímulos na codificação, aliada à dissimilaridade na recuperação, favorece o desempenho na realização da tarefa proposta. Além disso, o intervalo de retenção maior sugere um prejuízo no desempenho, especialmente em condições de alta similaridade na recuperação. Tais resultados corroboram a literatura e contribuem para o entendimento sobre o efeito da similaridade visual na memória de trabalho. / The phonological similarity has been studied since the 1970s, contributing in an essential matter for the understanding of working memory. Researchers studied visual similarity and its correspondence with the phonological similarity, without, however, arriving to a consensus about the nature of its effect on performance in recognition tasks. In this work, our objective was to caracterize the efects of similarity analyzing variables that could possibly be related to the effects of similarity in working memory. First, an evaluation was conducted in order to validate the classification we made for stimuli. Second, we manipulated the similarity between stimuli, the duration of retention interval and the stimulis presentation mode using an item recogniton task. Results show that visual similarity between stimuli at encoding, together with dissimilarity at retrieval, favors a better performance at this task. Besides, longer retention interval suggests worst performance, especially when there were high similarity levels at retrieval. These results agree with other works and contribute for the understanding of visual similarity effect in working memory.

El criollismo no es un tema tradicionalmente abordado por las ciencias sociales en el Perú. Las investigaciones de ciencias sociales actualmente tocan el tema desde una perspectiva histórica o de musicología. Sin embargo, se hace necesaria una investigación que se centre en la naturaleza performativa del criollismo y su rol de transmisión cultural con herramientas propias de la antropología visual, como el registro etnográfico audiovisual. / Tesis

En esta tesis analizo las imágenes de dos héroes nacionales, Miguel Grau y Túpac Amaru II, en textos escolares de historia producidos entre 1972 y el 2010. Puntualmente, estudio tres series de textos desarrolladas en los últimos 40 años. Estas son: Historia del Perú, de Telmo Salinas García, producida hacia inicios de la década de 1970; Historia del Perú, de Pablo Macera (1990); y la serie Enfoques de Editorial Norma (2010). Con estas series busco una perspectiva de proceso en relación con la producción de las imágenes indicadas, que comparten el espacio escolar desde fines de la década de 1960. / Tesis

The adverse and lasting effects traumatic experiences can have on individuals pose significant challenges to psychotherapeutic treatments. This is due to the profound impact trauma has on the body and mind of survivors which can result in a wide range of posttraumatic symptoms, The unique nature of traumatic memories, and the extent to which they can become engrained, can further complicate treatment considerations. Relevant literature suggests that Dance Movement Psychotherapy (DMP) can be useful for treating survivors of trauma, due to its emphasis on embodiment and creativity that this modality offers. However, research to support this notion is currently limited. Furthermore, not enough is known about how the therapeutic process with survivors of trauma unfolds in the context of DMP. This thesis, therefore, aimed to identify the components of the therapeutic processes used in trauma-informed DMP as a step towards improving understanding of therapeutic practice with this client group. This thesis used hermeneutic phenomenology as the underlying methodology and epistemological position from which all findings and understandings were derived. It encompassed the following two strands: the first involved semi-structured interviews with practitioners who were experienced in treating survivors of trauma. To ensure a sufficient amount of data were collected, and due to commonalities between the DMP and Body Psychotherapy (BP) modalities with regards to the role of the body in the therapeutic process, participants from both of these professions were interviewed for the first research component. The second strand comprised a heuristic inquiry that utilised embodied and creative practice to synthesise the findings from the first strand, and elucidate further the components of the therapeutic process. Findings suggest that the therapeutic process for treating trauma comprises of several identifiable therapeutic elements, some of which were grounded in embodiment and creativity and appeared to be specific to DMP. A relationship was found between the concepts of "narrative‟, "trauma-processing‟ and "ritual‟ while the notion of "joy‟ was identified as ii supporting and signifying positive change. Concepts of "witnessing‟ and "resourcing‟ were also identified. These were perceived by respondents to facilitate and support the therapeutic process with this client group. Applied embodiment and creativity were found to be empowering and seen to facilitate a manageable and paced access to traumatic material. The synthesised results of this thesis are presented as a map of the therapeutic process, and it is suggested that findings may potentially be transferable and useful for other treatment modalities. Overall, the results of this thesis enabled a fuller understanding of the role DMP can play in facilitating therapeutic processes with this client group. Furthermore, the current findings emphasise the contribution that DMP can make to the wider body of knowledge relating with psychotherapeutic treatment approaches to trauma.
