To assess architectural drawings should respect precise rules and codes is an obvious consideration, nevertheless, analyzing any projects graphics, we can find drawings with considerable ambiguity of expression. In the climate of the Twenties in Italy, we believe that matter assumes a particular value both for the strong impulse to change that for the difficulty the abandonment of historicist styles and modes.

Graphics are physical or mental images that individuals produce through their perceptual, cognitive, and executive functions. Pertaining to this is the study of implicit behaviors, that is, behaviors consisting of an individual’s interior processes, which are useful for understanding the way they “interpret” the environment as independent variables. The concurrent means of formulating this type of “interpretation”, which is tied to the area of perception, are found in both the behavior and literal and graphical verbal or written narration.

The rediscovery of the Coptic language began with the Council of Florence, which represented the illusion of a possible reconciliation between the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church. Although this union was never accomplished, the first nucleus of Copto-Arabic manuscripts that came as a gift on that occasion constituted the premises for the recovery of the Egyptian language of the Christian age, progressively allowing access to
some of the oldest Christian texts that Greek manuscripts had not preserved.

In this multiple case study we analyzed oral text comprehension, reading profiles and underlying cognitive abilities (attention, executive functions, working memory, narrative memory, rapid automatized naming and vocabulary) of 9 children identified as poor written text comprehenders after a school screening on 75 third grade children. Four out of the 9 children were named Language-Minority (L-M) children, since they had immigrant parents. The remaining 5 children were born in Italy from Italian parents.

Distracted driving consists in performing a secondary task while driving, such as cell-phone conversation. Given the limited resources of the attentional system, engaging in a secondary task while driving increases the risk to have car accidents. The secondary task engagement while driving can depend on or be affected by different factors, including driver's individual characteristics, necessities, environmental conditions, and so forth.

Previous research has consistently demonstrated that false-belief (FB) understanding correlates with and predicts metalinguistic ability in preschoolers. Surprisingly, however, there is scant evidence on the question of whether this relation persists at later ages. The present cross-sectional study sought to fill this gap by examining the association between FB understanding, belief-based justifications and metalinguistic awareness.

The paper introduces the figure of American self-taught naturalist Richard Lynch Garner (1848-1920) and his work with the language of animals. Garner was mainly known for his use of the “phonograph”, a tool realised by Thomas Alva Edison towards the end of the Nineteenth-century for

In the chapter, I survey the contemporary pragmatist landscape in the light of its commitment to the centrality of the notion and category of conduct.

This is a note on what philosophy can do if it takes a postcritical attitude. It begins with a juxtaposition of literature and philosophy and explains both what they share and what the latter can do better than the former. The main claim is that postcritical philosophy can enter life in a way that philosophy is no longer used to doing insofar as it ties up with other disciplines.

The assertion that humans differ from animals in their use of lan- guage has been the subject of much discussion as scientists have investi- gated language use by non-human species. This paper considers Claude Perrault’s views on animal language and cognition. One of the leader members of the Early Parisian Académie Royale des Sciences, where comparative anatomy emerged in the late seventeenth century, Claude Perrault rejects both the Cartesian hypothesis of beasts as mere automa- ta and of Pineal Gland as siège de l’âme within the human brain.
