Physiotherapy and planetary health: a scoping review
No full textEnvironmental physiotherapy is an emerging area of importance in the profession as physiotherapists and clients of physiotherapy experience the effects of climate change on health, and physiotherapists are challenged by professional obligations to mitigate the effects of climate change on health of individuals and communities. The objective of this scoping review is to identify and map the literature reporting on the relationship between physiotherapy (theory and practice) and planetary/environmental health
The Influence of Losses on Mental Effort and Performance - Study 1
No full textWhen people make decisions, "losses loom larger than gains" (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979). The concept of loss aversion has been central to the understanding of how people make choices under risk, and has had a profound impact in economics, psychology, and finance, but has also influenced fields such as management, political science, and law. Research on judgment and decision making has revealed that an asymmetric impact of losses and gains manifests consistently in myriad dimensions other than choice. Such asymmetric responses to losses relative to gains have been observed in the autonomic nervous system (Sokol-Hessner et al., 2009; Yechiam, Retzer, Telpaz, & Hochman, 2015), heart rate (Hochman & Yechiam, 2011), exploratory search (Lejarraga & Hertwig, 2017; Lejarraga, Hertwig, & Gonzalez, 2012; Yechiam, Zahavi, & Arditi, 2015), hormonal response (Burke et al., 2018; Margittai et al., 2018), neural response (Canessa et al., 2013; Sokol-Hessner et al., 2012; Tom et al., 2007), and attention (Yechiam & Hochman, 2013). Here we study the extent to which losses impact cognitive reflection
Sustainable food choices across Western and non-Western cultures: a scoping review of application of the theory of planned behaviour.
No full textThis scoping review will map the existing literature to understand how the Theory of Planned Behaviour has been applied to research to understand sustainable food choices in consumers. The review will also aim to identify any knowledge gaps in this field, specifically referring to what information about samples are reported and how sustainable food choices are measured

Awareness of Morally Motivated Reasoning - Study 1
No full textThis registration includes a PDF of the preregistration as well as the survey materials for a study on morally motivated reasoning
Perceived Economic Inequality, Aggression, and Prosociality
No full textThis study aims to test whether perceived economic inequality is associated with individuals’ aggression and prosociality, as well as its underlying mechanism
CORRELATION OF SURFACE ELECTROMYOGRAPHY AND ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY BIOSIGNALS IN INNER SPEECH
No full textSpeech is an individual act (SAUSSURE, 2006) that takes place at the moment of production (RASO, 2013). Speech production involves the interaction of the central and peripheral nervous system and sensory receptors that interpret physiological signals (BEHLAU; AZEVEDO; MADAZIO, 2013), which can be measured through electroencephalography (EEG) (DENBY et al., 2010). In this context, the hypothesis of this work is that there is a correlation between the biosigns of the scalp and the face in the production of pseudowords - it has the syllabic structure of the language, but without semantic load - and syllables in internal speech. The aim of this research is to correlate scalp and face biosignals on EEG in the production of internal speech. This is an experimental, descriptive study (mean, standard deviation, reliability coefficient).To carry out it, 10 participants between 20 and 35 years old, of both sexes, will be invited, by signing a Free and Informed Consent Term (FICT). Student volunteers who are native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese and right-handed will be included, all belonging to the Universidade Federal de Alagoas. Participants who present obvious or self-reported signs/symptoms of communication disorders, neurological and/or cognitive alterations that may interfere with the results will be excluded. Participants able to participate in the research will be invited to attend the Laboratório de Pesquisa da Linguagem, do Cérebro e do Comportamento Humano - Lapelc² (Faculdade de Letras, Universidade Federal de Alagoas), in order to collect data. Volunteers will be interviewed and then they will participate in the experiment with the EMG and the EEG. The multivariate Baysian multilevel model will be applied through the R software (R Core Team, 2018) with a confidence interval of 95% for presenting varied results
Prospective associations between parental feeding practices in early childhood and eating disorder symptoms in early adolescences: Results from the Gemini twin cohort and Generation R
No full textUsing data from two large population-based cohorts, we aim to examine the prospective associations between parental feeding practices at child age 4-5 years and eating disorder symptoms (subclinical binge eating disorder symptoms, compensatory behaviours, and disordered eating behaviours) in early adolescence (12-14 years). If possible, data from both cohorts will be pooled to obtain an estimate of overall effect size
Examining Longitudinal Trajectories of Time Spent Alone in Mexican-origin Youth: The Role of Social Relationships and Personality
No full textThis study aimed to understand how trajectories of TSA in adolescence are shaped by personality, quality of social relationships, and the transition to high school. Furthermore, we aimed to address a gap in our understanding about the experiences of Mexican-origin youth—a population that has been historically excluded from psychological research. The present study will use data from the California Families Project (CFP), a longitudinal study of 674 Mexican-origin youth and their parents, to examine the longitudinal trajectories of TSA over the course of adolescence, from 7th to 12th grade
Rapid semantic effects in immediate serial recall? Online experiment with dyslexic and non-dyslexic adults
No full textThere are well-established links between long-term language knowledge and verbal short-term memory (vSTM) with varied evidence that available semantic information either directly or indirectly supports phonological maintenance (e.g. Savill et al., 2018). Furthermore, a relatively stronger influence on semantic knowledge in short-term memory has been observed when phonological abilities are relatively weak (Savill, Cornelissen, Whiteley, Woollams, & Jefferies, 2019; in line with a primary systems perspective, e.g. Ueno et al., 2014). In Kowialiewski and Majerus (2018), long-term linguistic effects on vSTM are mostly non-strategic as they arise in a fast encoding running span procedure that prevented strategic processes. However, when examining the semantic effect of imageability, researchers found that it only appeared under slower presentation rates that would therefore allow for strategic encoding of the words. Imageability effects have been found in relation to phonological skills under standard immediate serial recall conditions (lists presented at a rate of one item per second) (Savill et al., 2019). Considering that the typical verbal short-term memory deficit observed in dyslexic individuals has been suggested to be related to less efficient encoding strategies (Kramer, Knee, & Delis, 2000), the present study will investigate the nature of lexical-semantic effects under speeded conditions in dyslexic and non-dyslexic individuals, and will assess ISR performance under different semantic and lexical manipulations across two experiments (words imageability, semantic relatedness, lexicality). The first experiment will assess short-term recall performance in an immediate serial recall (ISR) task with lists of high and low imageability words as well as nonwords lists presented under slow and fast presentation rates. In the second experiment, ISR lists will either be semantically related or unrelated
