En la tercera fase, añadir tesoros, los alumnos introducen tesoros aleatoriamente o en localizaciones específicas dentro de los límites de los colegios e indican una serie de pistas y características que servirán para encontrarlos. Finalmente, en la cuarta fase buscando tesoros, los estudiantes juegan a encontrar los tesoros añadidos por otros.

Initiating conversations, understanding verbal and non-verbal language in different context, etc.), are typical in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but also in children with Communication Disorders (CD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), above all during school ages (4 to 12 years old). Moreover, pragmatics includes different skills were these children can have concurring problems: the "socio-cognitive" skills (linked to Theory of Mind or Social Cognition, to grasp communicative intentions, emotional aspects, etc.), and "linguistic" skills (linked to the ability to establish implicates and inferences between the context and the utterance). These skills are very important to the correct school integration of these children in mainstream schools, and therefore, we need comprehensive and effective tools to assess pragmatic skills. |

This may be the case in some real-time (robotic) applications and, in general, when the conversion cost is not affordable for the task at hand. To overcome this drawback and make log-polar imaging more generally available, parallel solutions with affordable modern multicore architectures have been devised, implemented, and tested in this work. Experimental results reveal that speedup factors as high as or higher than 10 or 20, depending on the configuration, are possible to get log-polar images from large gray-level or color cartesian images using commodity graphics processors. Remarkable speedups are also reported for current multi-core processors. This noteworthy performance allows visual tasks that would otherwise be unthinkable with sequential implementations to become feasible. Additionally, since three different approaches have been explored and compared in terms of several criteria, different cost-effective choices are advisable depending on different visual task requirements or hardware availability. |
