Investigadores de la UGR irán al juzgado para reclamar la paga extra

Escrito por

La sección sindical de UGT en la Universidad de Granada (UGR) ha confirmado que presentará un conflicto colectivo contra el gobierno de la institución docente para reclamar la devolución de la paga íntegra de diciembre al colectivo de investigadores, después de que el encuentro entre las partes en el Servicio Extrajudicial de Resolución de Conflictos Laborales (Sercla) acabara sin avenencia.

Esta situación se produce después de que la UGR aplicara al millar de investigadores que trabajan en la institución el Real Decreto del Gobierno para garantizar la estabilidad presupuestaria, lo que les dejó sin paga de Navidad y, dado que «la tienen prorrateada se quedaron con sueldos de unos 200 euros». Así lo ha explicado a Europa Press el responsable de la sección sindical de UGT en la institución, Antonio Oña. Desde el sindicato mantienen que el Real Decreto que suprime la paga extra de Navidad de los empleados públicos no es de aplicación al personal del capítulo VI en el que se integran los investigadores. De hecho, advierten de que este colectivo recibe su sueldo a través de subvenciones finalistas y fondos europeos que, según la normativa vigente, no se pueden modificar, retraer o dedicar a otros asuntos.

El conflicto colectivo será presentado por UGT para mantener el anonimato de los afectados.

Bilingual kids have better ‘working memory’ than monolingual peers

Escrito por

Bilingual children develop a better working memory –which holds, processes and updates information over short periods of time– than monolingual children, a new study has revealed.

The working memory plays a major role in the execution of a wide range of activities, such as mental calculation (since we have to remember numbers and operate with them) or reading comprehension (given that it requires associating the successive concepts in a text).

The objective of the study — conducted at the University of Granada and the University of York in Toronto, Canada — was examining how multilingualism influences the development of the «working memory» and investigating the association between the working memory and the cognitive superiority of bilingual people found in previous studies.

The working memory includes the structures and processes associated with the storage and processing of information over short periods of time. It is one of the components of the so-called «executive functions»: a set of mechanisms involved in the planning and self-regulation of human behaviour.

Although the working memory is developed in the first years of life, it can be trained and improved with experience.

According to the principal investigator of this study, Julia Morales Castillo, of the Department of Experimental Psychology of the University of Granada, this study contributes to better understand cognitive development in bilingual and monolingual children.

«Other studies have demonstrated that bilingual children are better at planning and cognitive control (i.e. tasks involving ignoring irrelevant information or requiring a dominant response). But, to date, there was no evidence on the influence of bilingualism on the working memory,» said Morales Castillo.

The study sample included bilingual children between 5 and 7 years of age (a critical period in the development of the working memory). The researchers found that bilingual children performed better than monolingual children in working memory tasks. Indeed, the more complex the tasks the better their performance.

«The results of this study suggest that bilingualism does not only improve the working memory in an isolated way, but they affect the global development of executive functions, especially when they have to interact with each other,» Morales Castillo concluded.

The research study has been published in the last issue of the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology.

Bilingual Children Better at Math, Reading

Escrito por

Children who grow up learning two languages are better at tasks that require working memory like math and reading comprehension, says a new study.
Researchers from University of Granada and the University of York in Toronto, Canada, have found that bilingual kids develop better working memory that holds and processes large chunks of information faster than monolinguals.
Previous research has shown that children who grow up learning two languages are better at switching between tasks than children who learn just one language. However, bilingual children develop vocabulary at a slower rate than monolinguals as they have to divide time between two different languages. 

«Other studies have demonstrated that bilingual children are better at planning and cognitive control (i.e. tasks involving ignoring irrelevant information or requiring a dominant response). But, to date, there was no evidence on the influence of bilingualism on the working memory,» said Julia Morales Castillo, of the Department of Experimental Psychology of the University of Granada, principal investigator of the study.
The study included children aged between 5 and 7 years. Researchers found that bilingual children consistently performed better at tasks that need working memory. Also, the more complex the task was, the better bilinguals performed. People with good working memory have higher self-control and ability to keep distractions away.
«The results of this study suggest that bilingualism does not only improve the working memory in an isolated way, but they affect the global development of executive functions, especially when they have to interact with each other,» Castillo said in a news release.
The study is published in the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology.
