Individual Differences in Reading Comprehension in Digital and Print Mediums: A Systematic Review
Examine whether reading medium, digital versus print, affects reading comprehension, and whether this is influenced by individual factors or text/task characteristics
Insertion techniques for peripherally inserted central catheters and the occurrence of failures: an integrative review
Integrative review to analyze the main complications, in the medium and long term, resulting from the insertion technique of the PICC
Neural Networks in Early Fear Bias Development: A Study with Infants
This study uses DTI and eye-tracking data to examine the potential neural networks involved in fear bias in infants. The main aim of the current study is to identify whether there is an association between White Matter (WM) tract integrity involved in amygdala-cortical connections and early emotional development in infants. Specifically, is this association present in the development of an attentional bias towards fearful faces
Automatic processing of numerical value and string length in multi-digit numbers - Examining small and large scales (PHD EXP2)
The Arabic number system associates number length with its value so that the longer the number is, the larger its value. We hypothesized that the digits’ identity and the overall string length are both processed automatically when comparing multi-digit numbers from different numeric scales, resulting in a Stroop-like congruity effect. This study will investigate the manner of which performance in a numerical Stroop-like task is influenced by intrapair numerical distance, by intrapair scale differences, by task instructions, and by the difference in scale between pairs of small numbers (10/100/1000) and large numbers (millions, billions, trillions). Participants will perform a comparison task of two multi-digit numbers (both of which are multiples of scale numbers) while trying to ignore the task-irrelevant dimension. Each group of participants will be instructed to focus on one of different aspect that influences the perception of the numbers' values (whole number value, left-most digit, and number length). The experiment will be done in two blocks, one for pairs of small numbers, and one for pairs of large numbers
Longitudinal Assessment of Functional Connectivity and Effortful Control from Birth to 3.5 Years
Explore how individual differences in functional brain connectivity measured via fNIRS during infancy relate concurrently and longitudinally to the development of self-regulation during the first years of life
Preregistration of Study 2 from “Does Attending to the Nose vs. Eyes Reduce the Cross-Race Recognition Deficit? A Systematic Test”
In the present research, we will examine whether the own-race bias in face recognition (ORB; Malpass & Kravitz, 1969) can be eliminated by shifting participants’ attention to the lower half of the faces, as shown by Hills and Lewis (2011)
A Reverse Correlation of Wealth Cues
We will check how cues that are associated to wealthy people look like by using a reverse correlation paradigm
Influence of implicit theory on prosocial behaviors_Study 3
The aim of this research is to test the influence of implicit theories on prosocial behaviors
Antecedents of Interactive Agent Personality3
Our research examines social perceptions regarding adaptive and personalized “interactive agent” technologies. We have proposed a personality model containing two primary factors (“friendly” and “reliable”) and seven underlying facets. This research aims to examine the nomological validity of the personality model by investigating one potential antecedent (customization) unique to reliability perceptions
