The sample was composed of 424 children from the ages of 3–6 years old (60% male). Use of a hierarchical regression analysis revealed direct and interactive effects. Specifically, reactive temperamental traits were found to predict behavioral problems in children: negative affect tended to increase externalizing problems, and extraversion tended to decrease internalizing problems. The regulative temperament trait (“effortful control”) negatively predicted both internalizing and externalizing problems. To explore moderating effects, post‐hoc analyses were conducted using the Johnson–Neyman technique with Hayes’s PROCESS. Our analyses revealed that high levels of negative affect (characterized in our study by a higher load of anger or frustration than of fear or sadness) makes a significant and strong contribution to internalizing problems when effortful control reaches its highest levels. Thus, our results endure the protective role of extraversion as preventing the emergence of internalizing problems, and the protective role of effortful control as preventing the emergence of both, internalizing and externalizing, problems. The results also alert to the potential risk of a combination between high levels of effortful control and high levels of negative affect. Overall findings are discussed with regard to previous and future research.0262 .

There is a lack of instruments that evaluate these behaviors and their influence in formal caregivers. The aim of this study is to develop and psychometrically test—the Revised Memory and Behavior Problems Checklist for Nursing Homes (RMBPC-NH). A cross-sectional study was carried out. The sample was made up of 312 formal caregivers working in nursing homes from different territories in Spain, 87.5% were women and 12.5% were men. The average age of participants was 39 years (SD = 12.2). The sample was recruited from January 2019 to March 2020. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire, which included sociodemographic information, and assessed quality of technical equipment, level of training, experience of working with older people, job satisfaction, professional quality of life, burnout, and conception of negative stereotypes held towards aging. The four-factor structure of the RMBPC-NH showed a good fit, namely in relation to memory, functional, and emotional factors, and other problems. It has shown adequate psychometric properties, internal consistency, and validity (correlations with professional quality of life, job satisfaction, burnout, and negative stereotypes). The RMBPC-NH is a useful instrument to evaluate the frequency of older people’s memory and behavior problems and professional caregivers’ burden. The practical application in nursing homes is discussed.0362<a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Velasco, Cristina" href="/fez/list/author/Velasco, Cristina/">Velasco, Cristina</a>, <a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de López, Javier" href="/fez/list/author/López, Javier/">López, Javier</a>, <a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Pérez-Rojo, Gema" href="/fez/list/author/Pérez-Rojo, Gema/">Pérez-Rojo, Gema</a>, <a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Noriega, Cristina" href="/fez/list/author/Noriega, Cristina/">Noriega, Cristina</a> y <a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Martínez-Huertas, José Ángel" href="/fez/list/author/Martínez-Huertas, José Ángel/">Martínez-Huertas, José Ángel</a> .

This limit behavior depends on an approximation set that is used to define the approximate proper efficient solutions. We also study the special case when the final space of the vector optimization problem is normed, and more particularly, when it is finite dimensional. In these specific frameworks, we provide several explicit constructions of dilating ordering cones and approximation sets that lead to the desired limit behavior. In proving our results, new relationships between different concepts of approximate proper efficiency are stated.0182<a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Gutiérrez, C." href="/fez/list/author/Gutiérrez, C./">Gutiérrez, C.</a>, <a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Huerga, Lidia" href="/fez/list/author/Huerga, Lidia/">Huerga, Lidia</a>, <a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Novo, V." href="/fez/list/author/Novo, V./">Novo, V.</a> y <a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Sama, Miguel" href="/fez/list/author/Sama, Miguel/">Sama, Miguel</a> .

Using mothers, fathers, and children as sources of information, we explore the informant effect and incremental validity. The sample was composed of 681 participants (227 children, 227 fathers, and 227 mothers). Children’s (40% boys) ages ranged from 9 to 17 years (M = 12.52, SD = 1.81). Parents and children completed both the Parental Acceptance Rejection/Control Questionnaire (PARQ/Control) and the check list of the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA). Statistical analyses were based on the correlated uniqueness multitrait-multimethod matrix (model MTMM) by structural equations and different hierarchical regression analyses. Results showed a significant informant effect and a different incremental validity related to which combination of sources was considered. A multi-informant perspective rather than a single one increased the predictive value. Our results suggest that mother–father or child–father combinations seem to be the best way to optimize the multi-informant method in order to predict children’s behavioral problems based on perceived parental acceptance.0292<a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Izquierdo-Sotorrío, E." href="/fez/list/author/Izquierdo-Sotorrío, E./">Izquierdo-Sotorrío, E.</a>, <a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Holgado-Tello, F.P." href="/fez/list/author/Holgado-Tello, F.P./">Holgado-Tello, F.P.</a> y <a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Carrasco Ortiz, Miguel Angel" href="/fez/list/author/Carrasco Ortiz, Miguel Angel/">Carrasco Ortiz, Miguel Angel</a> .

The temperament of a child and parental socialization have been essential in explaining behavioral problems, particularly in the case of childhood aggression. The aim of this study is to examine—from the parents’ perspective—the role of childhood temperament in the dynamic by which mothers’ reactions socialize their children’s aggression. We also explore how children’s gender and age differences affect these relationships. The sample was composed of 904 participants between 1 and 6 years old. The Early Childhood Behavior Questionnaire and the Children’s Behavior Questionnaire were used to evaluate children’s negative affect and effortful control. The Parent–Child Relationship Inventory Maternal was used to assess maternal communication and discipline, and child aggression was assessed using the Children’s Behavior Checklist. The results supported the mediating role of temperament in the processes by which perceived mothers’ reactions socialize their children’s aggression and suggested that maternal behaviors may not have the same consequences for girls and boys. Specifically, the aggressiveness of girls is dependent on a negative affect throughout toddlerhood and early childhood, while for boys, the duration of the negative affect’s contribution is shorter, and aggressiveness is more sensitive to the maternal behaviors of discipline and communication.0252<a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Carrasco Ortiz, Miguel Angel" href="/fez/list/author/Carrasco Ortiz, Miguel Angel/">Carrasco Ortiz, Miguel Angel</a>, <a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Delgado, Begoña" href="/fez/list/author/Delgado, Begoña/">Delgado, Begoña</a> y <a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Holgado-Tello, Francisco Pablo" href="/fez/list/author/Holgado-Tello, Francisco Pablo/">Holgado-Tello, Francisco Pablo</a> .

Methods We tested an attribute network of regularized partial correlations, standard and alternative centrality measures, and comorbidity bridge symptoms according to centrality bridge measures. Results Regularized partial correlation network and a centrality measures graph shown the prominent position of social problems and anxiety–depression. Minimum spanning tree (MST) found a hierarchical dynamics between attributes where mixed anxiety–depression was identified as the core and the other attributes were hierarchically connected to it by being positioned in six branches that are differentiated according to their theoretical contents. The most central connections are established with the attributes of their own community or theoretical groups, and 37 bridge symptoms were identified in all networks. Conclusions A significant role of mixed anxiety depression as an activator and intermediary of psychopathologies was supported as a central attribute of internalizing problems. Aggressive behavior as part of the broad externalizing dimension was one of the constructs that most intensively activate the network, and social problems were also distinguished as a relevant factor not only in terms of connections and central attributes but also in terms of bridge symptoms and comorbidity. This framework extends to the study of symptomatic “comorbidity.”0372<a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Sánchez Hernández, M.O" href="/fez/list/author/Sánchez Hernández, M.O/">Sánchez Hernández, M.O</a>, <a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Holgado-Tello, F.P." href="/fez/list/author/Holgado-Tello, F.P./">Holgado-Tello, F.P.</a> y <a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Carrasco Ortiz, Miguel Angel" href="/fez/list/author/Carrasco Ortiz, Miguel Angel/">Carrasco Ortiz, Miguel Angel</a> .

Several types of PGMs have been proposed in the last two decades. However, there are some problems for which none of these types are appropriate. For example, none of the types of PGMs proposed has been widely adopted for representing and solving asymmetric decision problems. Decision analysis networks (DANs) have been recently proposed by our research group and they needed efficient evaluation algorithms in order to be applicable to real-world problems. In this thesis, I propose a new algorithm that evaluates DANs by recursively decomposing them into a set of symmetric DANs, which can then be evaluated with standard algorithms, such as variable elimination or arc reversal. The efficiency of this algorithm matches that of the algorithms proposed for other asymmetric representations. Similarly, existing types of PGMs were not apt as dynamic modeling methods for cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA). The existing dynamic PGMs are burdened by the complexity of their evaluation and can only solve unicriterion problems. Only Markov infuence diagrams (MIDs), a more restricted type of dynamic PGMs also proposed by our research group, are suitable to build complex dynamic models to perform CEA. I have developed new types of potentials and new sensitivity analysis algorithms, with which I have been able to replicate as MIDs several models proposed in the literature and to build two new models for CEA: one for malignant pleural effusion and another one for mammography screening. Finally, with the help of an expert, we have built a decision-support system for cochlear implant programming (i.e., parameter tuning) based on PGMs. In this thesis, we also describe tuning networks, a new type of PGM we developed because existing PGMs were not suitable to model the behavior of systems with a high number of tunable parameters. This decision-support system is now routinely used at a hearing clinic in Antwerp (Belgium) to assist audiologists in the programming of cochlear implants. All the contributions to PGMs described in this thesis have been implemented in OpenMarkov, an open-source software tool developed at the UNED, and are publicly available.0Doctoral Thesis6152<a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Bermejo Delgado, Iñigo" href="/fez/list/author/Bermejo Delgado, Iñigo/">Bermejo Delgado, Iñigo</a>. <b><i><a class="citation_title" title="Click para ver : New types of probabilistic graphical models: applications to medicine" href="/fez/view/tesisuned:IngInf-Ibermejo">New types of probabilistic graphical models: applications to medicine</a></i></b> . <span class="citation_date">2015</span>. <span class="citation_publisher">Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (España).

Relational frame theory suggests the existence of two main functional types of RGB termed pliance and tracking. In this paper, we describe the development of the Generalized Tracking Questionnaire (GTQ) and the preliminary evaluation of its psychometric properties and validity through three studies, with a total of 1155 participants. In Study 1, a pool of items describing the main characteristics of generalized tracking was designed and evaluated by experts on the RFT account of RGB. The resulting 11 items were administered to 460 undergraduates to examine the understandability and psychometric quality of the items. The exploratory factor analysis indicated that the GTQ can be seen as a unidimensional scale, with all items exhibiting high factor loadings and corrected item-total correlations. In Study 2, the GTQ was administered online to a sample of 464 non-clinical participants and a clinical sample of 125 participants. The one-factor model of the GTQ obtained a good fit in the conducted confirmatory factor analysis. The GTQ showed measurement invariance across gender and clinical and nonclinical participants. It also obtained excellent internal consistency and correlated in theoretically coherent ways with other constructs. In Study 3, the GTQ and a neuropsychological battery of executive functions were administered to 105 participants. The GTQ showed statistically significant, medium-size correlations with working memory tests, verbal fluency, planning, and behavioral inhibition. In conclusion, the GTQ seems to be a promising measure to advance in the empirical analysis of functional classes of RGB.0362<a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Ruiz, F.

Tools based on artificial intelligence can be used to face this complex problem. In this work, a computer-aided tool is developed to predict relevant mechanical properties of aluminum alloys—Young’s modulus, yield stress, ultimate tensile strength and elongation at break. These predictions are based on the alloy chemical composition and tempers, and are employed to estimate the bilinear approximation of the stress-strain curve, very useful as a decision tool that helps in the selection of materials. The system is based on the use of artificial neural networks supported by a big data collection about technological characteristics of thousands of commercial materials.

Its stochastic representation involves a skew-normal vector and a non negative mixing scalar variable, independent of the skew-normal vector, that injects tail weight behavior into the model. In this paper we look into the problem of finding the projection that maximizes skewness for vectors that follow a scale mixture of skew-normal distribution; when a simple condition on the moments of the mixing variable is fulfilled, it can be shown that the direction yielding the maximal skewness is proportional to the shape vector. This finding stresses the directional nature of the shape vector to regulate the asymmetry; it also provides the theoretical foundations motivating the skewness based projection pursuit problem in this class of distributions. Some examples that illustrate the application of our results are also given; they include a simulation experiment with artificial data, which sheds light on the usefulness and implications of our results, and the application to real data.0532<a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Arevalillo, Jorge M" href="/fez/list/author/Arevalillo, Jorge M/">Arevalillo, Jorge M</a> y <a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Navarro, Hilario" href="/fez/list/author/Navarro, Hilario/">Navarro, Hilario</a> .

However, in psychological terms, CT is still a poorly defined construct, given that its nomological network has not been established yet. In a previous paper, we started to address this issue studying the correlations between CT and some fundamental cognitive variables, such as primary mental abilities and problem-solving ability. The current work deepens in the same direction as it aims to extend the nomological network of CT with non-cognitive factors, through the study of the correlations between CT, self-efficacy and the several dimensions from the ‘Big Five’ model of human personality: Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. To do so, the Computational Thinking Test (CTt) and some additional self-efficacy items are administered on a sample of 1251 Spanish students from 5th to 10th grade (N ¼ 1251), and the Big Five Questionnaire-Children version (BFQ-C) is also taken by a subsample from the above (n ¼ 99). Results show statistically significant correlations between CT and self-efficacy perception relative to CT performance (rs ¼ 0.41), in which gender differences in favor of males are found (d ¼ 0.42). Moreover, results show statistically significant correlations between CT and: Openness to Experience (r ¼ 0.41), Extraversion (r ¼ 0.30), and Conscientiousness (r ¼ 0.27). These findings are consistent with the existing literature except for the unexpected correlation between CT and the Extraversion factor of personality, which is consequently discussed in detail. Overall, our findings corroborate the existence of a non-cognitive side of CT that should be taken into account by educational policies and interventions aimed at fostering CT. As a final contribution, the extended nomological network of CT integrating cognitive and non-cognitive variables is depicted.0352<a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Román-González, Marcos" href="/fez/list/author/Román-González, Marcos/">Román-González, Marcos</a>, <a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Pérez-González, Juan Carlos" href="/fez/list/author/Pérez-González, Juan Carlos/">Pérez-González, Juan Carlos</a>, <a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Moreno-León, Jesús" href="/fez/list/author/Moreno-León, Jesús/">Moreno-León, Jesús</a> y <a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Robles, Gregorio" href="/fez/list/author/Robles, Gregorio/">Robles, Gregorio</a> .

Behavioral resultstesisuned:ED-Pg-PsiSal-EruizThis Thesis is organized in 7 chapters: the theoretical framework, the cognitive changes associated with normal and pathological aging and the contribution of video games programs to prevent the cognitive decline at different age stages, two publications of the interventions with video games in young and older adults, and the main conclusions of the current work. The number of publications related to the effects of video-game training has increased substantially in recent decades, from 15 papers per year during the 90s, to 350 papers in 2015 (Palaus, Marron, Viejo-Sobera, & Redolar-Ripoll, 2017). Video games have many advantages in terms of availability, engagement and cost (Joddrell & Astell, 2016; Burgers, Eden, Van Engelenburg, & Buningh, 2015) but their neurocognitive benefits are still subject to debate. Some authors found positive results derived from video game training (Cain, Landau, & Shimamura, 2012; Shawn Green & Bavelier, 2003; Mondéjar, Hervás, Johnson, Gutierrez, & Latorre, 2016), while others could not replicate them or find any benefit (Irons, Remington, & McLean, 2011; Kable et al. 2017; Murphy & Spencer, 2009). Due to this lack of consensus in the literature about the neurocognitive benefits of video-game training, many studies have pointed out the importance of using an appropriate methodological approach for these kinds of interventions. “The gold standard design” consists in a double blinded study with randomization of participants and an appropriate active control group that matches the experimental group, where placebo effects depending on motivation, engagement and expectations are controlled, and which measures the transfer of learning from the intervention to the neurocognitive functions under study (Boot et al., 2011; Boot & Simons, 2012; Boot et al., 2013; Simons et al., 2016; Shawn Green, Strobach, & Schubert, 2014; Dale & Shawn Green, 2017; García- Betances, Cabrera-Umpiérrez, & Arredondo, 2017; Schubert, Strobach, & Karbach, 2014; Seitz, 2018). Trying to follow these guidelines, we conducted two randomized interventions to analyze the effects of brain-game training on memory and attentional functions in young and older adults. A recent meta-analysis of action video game training studies found that healthy young and older adults benefited from training in overall and specific cognitive domains, but that young adults benefited more than older adults (Wang et al., 2017). It has been studied that brain neuroplasticity continues throughout the lifespan, but how the changes are regulated depends on age (Kolb & Muhammad, 2014; Merzenich, Van Vleet, & Nahum, 2014). Neurocognitive decline associated with normal aging mainly affects memory (working memory, episodic memory, information retrieval and consolidation), executive functions (decision making, problem solving and mental control), attentional networks (selective and divided attention and visuospatial abilities) and reaction times. Thus, it is a priority to investigate the effects of cognitive stimulation programs and optimize them. Among these programs, video games offer many advantages because they are enjoyable, adaptive and engaging for aging people (Chesham, Wyss, Müri, Mosimann, & Nef, 2017) Moreover, neurocognitive deficits associated with normal aging usually occur in pathological aging, with differences in degree, intensity, frequency and temporal distribution (de Flores, La Joie, & Chételat, 2015; Hullinger & Puglielli, 2017). It is therefore essential to study normal and pathological aging, the mechanisms that these processes share, and the stimulation programs that could help to avoid or attenuate them. We firstly conducted an intervention with healthy older adults to measure the effects of non-action adaptive mental games on the cognition of older and young participants, specifically working memory, selective attention, distraction and response inhibition. The results showed that brain games and other kinds of video games such as simulation games could positively benefit the attention and working memory of older adults, but the effects are moderate in terms of near and far transfer of learning. However, older adults showed no gains in inhibitory control after training with non-action video games. Then, we conducted a second intervention with adults aging between 18 and 35 years old. Analysis showed that young adults can transfer learning from non-action adaptive brain games to attention and visuo-spatial working memory with moderate effect sizes, and the positive results could also be obtained with other non-action video games such as simulation games. Nonetheless, playing non-action video games did not improve inhibition responses in young adults either. However, as we did not have a non- intervention control group, we cannot conclude that adaptive non-active video games had an effect. Future studies should include both an active control group and a no-contact group.0Doctoral Thesis8192<a class="citation_author_name" title="Navegar por nombre de Autor de Ruíz Márquez, Eloísa" href="/fez/list/author/Ruíz Márquez, Eloísa/">Ruíz Márquez, Eloísa</a>. <b><i><a class="citation_title" title="Click para ver : Video-game training effects on attention and memory in young and older adults.
