Mnemonics, testing, and creativity : creative thinking and effectiveness of learning method
Get PDFMuch research has been done on various techniques for increasing learning, and both testing and mnemonics such as
the keyword method have been proven effective. We addressed whether people high and low in creativity benefit more
or less from test practice as compared to a mnemonic strategy. We had participants study twenty Lithuanian-English
word pairs. Then participants either restudied the words, received test practice by being given the cue and attempting
to recall the target, generated a mnemonic linking the cue to the target, or received no extra practice with the words.
After a final test over all twenty words, participants completed Remote Association Triad (RAT) problems (Bowden
and Jung-Beeman, 2003) which required participants to find the relationship between three words (e.g., “Cold” is related
to “Sore, Shoulder, Sweat”), and yields an index of creativity. Our hypothesis that the effectiveness of different
study methods would differ across groups failed to achieve significance, and, surprisingly, so did the expected testing
effect. One interesting finding did emerge: higher creativity, as measured by RAT performance, benefited participants
regardless of the method employed in studying.Kalif E. Vaughn, Faculty mento

Prevalence of self-objectification among Northern Kentucky students
Get PDFPast research indicates self-objectification – viewing oneself as an object or collection of body parts – can lead to
depression, body-shaming, and eating disorders. This study identifies the prevalence of self-objectification among
Northern Kentucky University (NKU) students and student awareness of engaging in self-objectifying behaviors.
One hundred twenty surveys were administered to NKU students on campus. Students answered questions designed
to measure awareness of self-objectification and actual engagement in self-objectifying behaviors. Prevalence of
self-objectification among students was found to be high, while awareness was found to be low. Female students had
significantly higher rates of self-objectification (96.6%) compared with male students (77.8%). Female students were
also more likely to engage in body or body-part comparison (86.2%) compared to male students (59.3%). Understanding
the prevalence of self-objectification can offer insight into reasons behind record-high rates of depression
among college students and can lead to more effective treatment interventions. Findings can also help to inform
future research and policy.Jessica Taylor, Faculty mento
