| English abstract | The Adaptation Paradigm constitutes a key approach to the study of number processing. Despite the many times it has been used in this field of research, there are not many experiences that combine this paradigm with functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) as a neuroimaging method to measure the activity of the Intraparietal Sulcus (IPS) during numerical adaptation. In the present study, we measured if the modifications made to the Adaptation Paradigm generate activation in the bilateral Intraparietal Sulcus, that is measurable through fNIRS in a sample of native Chinese speakers and native Arabic speakers. For that, 4 native Chinese college students and 4 native Arabic college students completed the designed task, while the activity in the parietal cortex was measured with fNIRS. The activity of the Intraparietal Sulcus detected during the performance of the designed task was medium; which could be related to limitations of the device, that increase the noise of the signal and decrease the statistical power of the data; or to some variables that were not properly controlled during the experimental procedure. Based on these conclusions, modifications were made to the task and to the research design that will use it as an instrument. |
| Spanish abstract | El paradigma de adaptación neural constituye un enfoque clave para el estudio del procesamiento numérico. A pesar de las múltiples ocasiones en las que este ha sido empleado en dicho campo de investigación, no existen muchas experiencias que combinen este paradigma con la Espectroscopía de Infrarrojo Cercano funcional (fNIRS) como método de neuroimágenes para medir la actividad del Surco Intraparietal (SIP) durante la adaptación numérica. En la presente investigación evaluamos la validez de una versión del paradigma de adaptación neural para generar activación en el Surco Intraparietal bilateral que sea medible a través de fNIRS en una muestra de nativos chinos y nativos árabes. Para ellos, 4 estudiantes universitarios nativos del chino y 4 estudiantes universitarios nativos del árabe, completaron la tarea diseñada, mientras se medía la actividad en la corteza parietal con fNIRS. La actividad del Surco Intraparietal detectada durante la realización de la tarea diseñada fue media; lo cual podría estar relacionado con limitaciones del aparato, que aumentan el ruido de la señal y disminuyen el poder estadístico de los datos; o a algunas variables que no fueron debidamente controladas durante la aplicación de la tarea. En función de estas conclusiones, se realizaron modificaciones a la tarea, y al diseño de la investigación que la empleará como instrumento. |
