No full textLocated in the Black Hills of South Dakota (Figure 1), Fossil Cycad National Monument boasted well-preserved specimens of cycadeoid fossils from the Cretaceous and concentrations of these fossil plants were greatest at the site’s location (Santucci and Hughes, 1998).

Divided Attention With Long-Term Memory: Recollection and Familiarity for Musical Melodies
No full textObjective: Test whether the well-established effects of divided attention 1, 2. (DA) found with non-musical (i.e., verbal and pictorial) materials generalized to musical melodies.
Background: Few studies have used melodies to test recognition models (e.g., DPSD). Parks et al.2 showed stimulus complexity alters source memory reliance on recollection (R) and familiarity (F).
Method: Used a 2 (attention) x 2 (melody type) mixed design with an old-new recognition test to compare DA effects across well-known and novel melodies.
Experiment 1: Applied an n-back task to split participants’ attention; no significant DA effect was observed.
Experiment 2: Shortened melody length and added a simultaneous DA task to address ceiling performance issues from Experiment 1.https://oasis.library.unlv.edu/durep_posters/1268/thumbnail.jp

Understanding Film Tax Credits in Nevada and Nationally
No full textThis policy primer provides an overview of Nevada’s transferable tax credit program for film and other productions and reviews articles, reports, audits, and studies of film tax credits as a tool for economic development in the United States. This review considers a significant body of work analyzing the use of film tax credits in support of economic development. Studies and state audits often show that because film tax credits do not create the number and quality of full-time jobs necessary to merit their costs and do little to stimulate other related industries, they are a poor financial choice for state governments seeking to invest public assets to spur economic growth. Far from a recession-proof industry, film and television production is experiencing major disruptions due to rising costs, lower production levels, changing audience preferences, and the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI). These challenges are ushering in an era of seismic technological shifts and consolidations and mergers that will transform the industry in the coming years
