GENERAL PROJECTS IN PROGRESS
Generación y mantenimiento del Corpus abierto en Lengua de Señas Uruguaya (funding CSIC I+D 2023-2025)
Responsible: Alejandro Fojo Denis. Collaborators: Roberto Aguirre, Maria Noel Macedo, Mauricio Castillo, Marcela Tancredi, Fabrizio Etcheverry. This project will allow the continuation of the “Bimodal Communication with Sign Language” project. It seeks to develop the first open access public Corpus of the Uruguayan Sign Language (LSU). Corpus studies are an indispensable piece for the linguistic description of any language, its use and its mental processing. The project is carried out in collaboration between the CIBPsi, the LSU Spanish Interpretation and Translation Technologist (TUILSU), the Computer Institute and the Institute of Electrical Engineering, the latter two, of the Faculty of Engineering.

Integración de información contextual a través de la modalidad visual en el procesamiento de frases en Lengua de Señas Uruguaya (funding finished and work in progress)
Responsibles: Hernán Quintero, Agustina Echaider, Gabriel Morales, Mauricio Tafernaberry, Fabrizio Etcheverry, Roberto Aguirre. PAIE Financing (2019). The intention of this study is to replicate the findings on the use of non-linguistic information in semantic processing for signers of Uruguayan Sign Language. In signed languages, linguistic and non-linguistic information share the same modality, visual, which, presumably, causes competition for visual attention. In this study we propose to test with Uruguayan Sign Language (USL) signers the psychological reality of this eventual attentional competition.

Modulación de la coherencia motora por los adverbios temporales (funding finished and work in progress)
Responsibles: Luca Tourn Bacci, Victoria Sosa Elias, Franco Durán, Santiago González and Roberto Aguirre. PAIE Financing (2019). The intention of this study is to identify the effects of temporal meanings on the motor activity of individuals. This study is carried out at the Experimental Psychology Laboratory, CENUR, Salto. This research tries to answer what the scope of mental simulation of motor activity and temporal experience (the latter as part of the context of cognitive activity) can be in understanding the meaning of sentences. In this way, we seek to answer whether mental simulation offers an alternative to understand the way in which we process meaning.

Lengua de Señas Uruguaya emergencia e iconicidad de las asignaciones espacio-tiempo a través de un estudio psicofísico (funding finished and work in progress)
Responsibles: Alejandro Fojo, Leonardo Peluso, Maximiliano Melialde, Adriana de León, Maria Noel Macedo, Rocío Goñi, Mauricio Castillo, Germán Tourón and Roberto Aguirre. CSIC R&D Project 2014 (2015-2017). The main objective of this study was to evaluate whether LSU signers maintain the temporal representation of past and future events in working memory while making a manual response in different movement axes. Currently, it is still ongoing, as we are collecting additional data. The study is being continued through new tasks and collaborators.
