Ítem Beyond phonological awareness: stress awareness and learning word spelling(Elsevier, 2019) Gutiérrez-Palma, Nicolás; Valencia Naranjo, Nieves; Justicia-Galiano, María José; Carpio Fernández, María de la VillaThis study investigates whether prosody is related to spelling acquisition. The awareness of a particular prosodic feature, lexical stress, may play some role in the acquisition of word spelling. A sample of 89 Spanish 3rd graders participated in this study. Control measures included non-verbal intelligence, vocabulary, and phonemic awareness. Results highlighted the potential role of prosodic knowledge in learning word spelling. Lexical stress awareness accounted for unique variance in word and sentence writing from dictation. In particular, stress awareness was related to stress errors (in word and sentence writing) while phonemic awareness was related to phoneme errors (in word writing). These data support the view that, in addition to phonological awareness, prosodic (lexical stress) awareness has the potential to be relevant for learning word spelling.Ítem Preliminary study on emotional competence in adults with down syndrome(Taylor & Francis Group, 2020-11) Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Sánchez-Teruel, David; Valencia Naranjo, Nieves; Delgado Rodriguez, RafaelThe social functioning of adults with Down Syndrome (DS) specially influences their quality of life. Emotional intelligence (EI) plays a key role in social outcomes because it is defined as a variety of social and emotional skills that enable people to be more effective in their personal and social lives. Thus, validated EI tests for use among adults with DS must be reliable. This study aimed to evaluate psychometric properties of the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version (EQ-i:YV) in adults with DS. A two-stage cross-sectional inves- tigation was conducted. First, a pilot study (n = 10) was performed to test internal consistency and item analysis of the subscales; second, exploratory (n = 90) and confirmatory (n = 96) factor analyses were carried out. The 5-factor structure of the EQ-i:YV was confirmed: general mood, stress management, adaptability, interpersonal and intrapersonal. The internal consistency (alpha and split halves) of all five dimensions and the total calculated score of the EQ-i:YV yielded high values. This new version of the EQ-i:YV represents a valid and reliable tool to assess EI in Spanish adults with DS.
