▼ Previous research has shown that, without practice, users are slower using the foot than the hand to control input devices. This study compared the performance (before and after practice) of users operating a foot-controlled secondary input device (foot mouse) with the performance of users operating a hand-controlled secondary input device (hand trackball) to complete four word processing tasks requiring various amounts of keyboard and secondary input device use. Before practice, hand trackball performance was better on all tasks. After practice, hand trackball performance was better on all tasks except the task requiring the greatest amount of keyboard use, for which there was no significant difference between devices. For all tasks, practice improved performance with the foot mouse but not with the hand trackball. These findings suggest that, with enough practice, it may be efficient for users to use a foot input device for tasks that also require keyboard input.

▼ The purpose of the current study was to look at the effects of a stressor, in the form of a time constraint, on the learning of different stimulus-response (S-R) mappings. Effects of a speed stressor on performance were measured in terms of reaction time (RT) and percentage of errors. Results showed that the speed stressor reduced RT for all S-R mappings, with this decrease being more for incompatible than compatible mappings. However, there was a speed-accuracy tradeoff in which more errors (incorrect response choices) were made in the incompatible mapping conditions. Examination of the errors revealed that subjects revert back to responding with a spatially compatible mapping under the presence of a speed stressor. These results imply that a speed stressor does have an effect on performance with S-R mappings that vary in degree of compatibility and should be taken into consideration when designing display and control interfaces.

▼ Autonomous robots are increasingly being used in everyday life; cleaning our floors, entertaining us and supplementing soldiers in the battlefield. As emotion is a key ingredient in how we interact with others, it is important that our emotional interaction with these new entities be understood. This dissertation proposes using the appraisal theory of emotion (Roseman, Scherer, Schorr, & Johnstone, 2001) to investigate how we understand and evaluate situations involving this new breed of robot. This research involves two studies; in the first study an experimental method was used in which participants interacted with a live dog, a robotic dog or a non-anthropomorphic robot to attempt to accomplish a set of tasks. The appraisals of motive consistent/motive inconsistent (the task was performed correctly/incorrectly) and high/low perceived control (the teammate was well trained/not well trained) were manipulated to show the practicality of using appraisal theory as a basis for human robot interaction studies. Robot form was investigated for its influence on emotions experienced. Finally, the influence of high and low control on the experience of positive emotions caused by another was investigated. Results show that a human – robot live interaction test bed is a valid way to influence participants’ appraisals. Manipulation checks of motive consistent/motive inconsistent, high/low perceived control and the proper appraisal of cause were significant. Form was shown to influence both the positive and negative emotions experienced, the more lifelike agents were rated higher in positive emotions and lower in negative emotions. The emotion gratitude was shown to be greater during conditions of low control when the entities performed correctly, suggesting that more experiments should be conducted investigating agent caused motive-conducive events. A second study was performed with participants evaluating their reaction to a hypothetical story. In this story they were interacting with either a human, robotic dog, or robot to complete a task. These three agent types and high/low perceived control were manipulated with all stories ending successfully. Results indicated that gratitude and appreciation are sensitive to the manipulation of agent type. It is suggested that, based on the results of these studies, the emotion gratitude should be added to Roseman et al. (2001) appraisal theory to describe the emotion felt during low-control, motive-consistent, other-caused events. These studies have also shown that the appraisal theory of emotion is useful in the study of human-robot and human-animal interactions.

▼ Several experimental procedures (e.g., adjusting amount, adjusting delay) have been used to study the effect that changes in amount of and delay to a reward have on the reward’s subjective value. The present series of three experiments sought to test the implicit assumption that the underlying decision-making process (discounting) is identical regardless of the procedure used, and that all would converge on similar indifference points. For each of the experiments, participants were initially tested on one of the adjusting tasks (Adjusting Immediate Amount, Adjusting Delayed Amount, or Adjusting Delay) and returned a week later to complete each of the remaining adjusting tasks. The indifference points obtained from the initial adjusting task were used as the test parameters in the other two tasks. That is, when participants completed the other two adjusting tasks, the amounts and delays experienced were identical to those from the initial adjusting task. Since, in the other adjusting tasks, the participants experience the identical amounts and delays as the initial adjusting task, specific predictions, at the level of the individual, were possible. Participants in all three experiments also completed a fully randomized version of the initial choice task. The results confirmed that, regardless of the choice task used, subjective value decreased as the delay to that outcome increased. In addition, it was found that under the adjusting-delay and the adjusting-delayed-amount tasks, but not under the adjusting-immediate-amount task, subjective value was determined not just by the amount of the outcome or the delay to its receipt, but to some degree by the manner in which the choices are presented (i.e., the context). Therefore, when investigating intertemporal choice, the adjusting-immediate-amount procedure appears to provide the most reliable and valid estimates of indifference between immediate and delayed outcomes.

▼ Providing care for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents many challenges to parents. Research has primarily explored the negative outcomes of caregiving experiences in parents of children with ASD, such as stress, depression, anxiety, and disruption of social relationships. Much less attention, however, has been dedicated to the positive aspects of experience in parenting a child with ASD. The purpose of this study was to examine both positive and negative aspects of the experience in parenting a child with ASD and relate them to child symptom severity and parenting self-efficacy. Multivariate regression analyses indicated a significant effect of interaction between stress and parenting self-efficacy on the prediction of enrichment. These findings point to the possibility that enrichment occurs, disregarding the severity of the child’s ASD symptoms, and that stress may potentially serve to moderate the role of parenting efficacy in facilitating the experience of enrichment in parents.

▼ The social information available to us at any given moment is, at best, ambiguous. Yet, remarkably, we are able to efficiently resolve this ambiguity and successfully navigate the social world. In this dissertation I use a rational inference framework to understand how we form rich, and largely accurate, social perceptions given this uncertain and underconstrained information. Our perceptions, of course, do not always perfectly align with reality, but – contrary to the classic perspective in social psychology – this is not evidence that we are irrational. In this dissertation I show how social biases can arise not as a failure of rationality, but as a consequence of making optimal use of statistical structure in the world. In Chapter 1, I demonstrate that our visual system’s strategy to circumvent resource limitations by capitalizing on redundancy in visual scenes can result in a bias to perceive faces in a crowd as more attractive. In Chapters 2 and 3, I show that two of the most well-known social biases – The Fundamental Attribution Error and Role-conferred Advantage – are not actually evidence of irrational reasoning. Although in these paradigms observers seem “bias” to systematically make attributions that are in a direction consistent with observed behavior, these judgments fall naturally out of optimal probabilistic inference.

▼ Proper English is an important skill, but using "to lie" and "to lay" correctly appears challenging, as even college students misuse these verbs. The current project assessed a treatment package that included fluency-based software to train three participants to correctly use "to lie" and "to lay." For each verb several meanings were identified. Model sentences were constructed from the definitions to form basic units. Each basic unit included examples (correct sentences) and non-examples (incorrect sentences) for one of the meanings of each verb. Participants practiced with each basic unit until fluent and then completed a cumulative unit based on all previous units before moving to a new basic unit. To assess whether the treatment package was effective, the units were embedded in a non-concurrent multiple-baseline design replicated across participants. The treatment package appeared to improve verb use for two participants and paradoxically worsened verb use for one participant. These findings and the implications for further research were discussed.

▼ The visual system can use small disparities between the stimuli seen by each eye as a binocular cue for depth. Geometric disparities are the most commonly used cue for stereopsis, but disparities in contrast and luminance can also lead to the perception of depth and both can cancel perceived depth from a geometric disparity. Humans are able to perceive changes in depth from contrast disparities at frequencies up to approximately 1.4 Hz, whereas changes in depth from geometric disparities are visible at frequencies above 5 Hz (Dobias, 2008). This dissertation is divided into two parts. The first part (experiments 1 & 2) explores the dynamics of canceling the perceived depth from a geometric disparity using a contrast or a luminance disparity. The second part (experiments 3-5) explores the role of individual differences in the dynamics of perceived depth from contrast, luminance, and geometric disparities. Dobias (2008) and results in experiments 3 & 4 show that the probability of reporting depth from contrast and luminance disparities diminish at frequencies much lower than from a geometric disparity (critical frequency). A generalized difference model (simple low-pass filter), does not account for the data from experiment 1. However, a gated generalized difference model, which applies low-pass filtering to the amplitude of the modulation but not its rate of change, does account for the data. Results from part two show that the frequency at which depth changes from contrast and luminance disparities (experiment 3) differs from the frequency at which depth is no longer visible for a geometric disparity (experiment 4), that the frequency can differ depending on which eye views the changing stimulus (experiments 3 & 4), and that either visual masking or eye movements are likely not causing the decrease at lower frequencies for contrast and luminance disparities (experiment 5). The finding that results from part one follow the gated model, and the differences depending on which eye views the dynamic stimulus found in part two, suggest that the visual system processes depth from contrast and luminance disparities much differently from what would be expected based on our typical understanding of depth perception.

▼ Previous research on delay of reinforcement has focused primarily on variable-interval schedules. A fair amount is known about effects of delay duration, signaled versus unsignaled delays, and interval length in the context of these schedules. Less is known about these effects on other schedules of reinforcement. For example, little is known about the effects of delay duration, signals versus unsignaled delays, or the way that delays interact with ratio requirement when behavior is maintained by fixed-ratio schedules. Furthermore, the steady-state designs (wherein stable responding is obtained at each delay duration) used to investigate delay-of-reinforcement effects are often time consuming. The present experiments used delay-of-reinforcement procedures to rapidly examine effects of delay duration and signals on responding under different fixed-ratio requirements. Experiments 1-3 used a procedure wherein the delay of reinforcement increased each session until the pigeon paused for 300 s to examine effects of delay duration (Experiments 1-3), signaled versus unsignaled delays (Experiments 1-3), the influence of decreased rates of reinforcement (Experiment 2) and the role of interval versus ratio baseline schedules (Experiment 3). Experiment 4 examined the interaction between signaled versus unsignaled delays of different durations and fixed-ratio requirement using a procedure wherein the fixed-ratio requirement increased each session until the pigeon paused for 300 s. These procedures yielded negative relations between delay duration and response rate that were consistent with previous findings using steady-state designs with variable-interval baselines, and were consistent across schedule type (Experiment 3) and fixed-ratio requirement (Experiment 4). These findings suggest generality in this negative relation across
experimental design, schedule type, and schedule parameters. A similar decrease in response rates was not obtained when the rate of immediate reinforcement was similarly decreased (Experiment 2), suggesting that these findings cannot be wholly accounted for by changes in rates of reinforcement. Response rates were similar with signaled and unsignaled delays during Experiments 1-3, which rapidly changed delay durations, but not during Experiment 4, which held delays constant across a range of fixed-ratio requirements. This finding suggests that the higher response rates often seen with signaled (relative to unsignaled) delays may require several sessions to be established.

▼ Two projects tested the reinforcing efficacy of a reduction in effort associated with a computer-based laboratory task. In both projects, college students could earn points exchangeable for money by working on an Imposed task or, by executing a changeover response, they could earn the points on an Alternate task. Of interest was whether access to the Alternate task would reinforce the changeover response. In Project 1 the students tracked a moving target on the screen. In the Imposed task the target was programmed to move faster and change directions more frequently relative to the target in the Alternate task. Despite several manipulations of the task parameters, changeover responding failed to occur reliably. In Project 2 the students copied a string of words that appeared on the screen. In the Imposed task the characters of the words were garbled such that they appeared nonsensical to the student. The words in the Alternate task were written in English and followed a comprehensive storyline. During this project changeover responding was reliably maintained. Developing an effective yet practical method of reinforcing human operant behavior in laboratory experiments remains a challenge.

▼ Impulsive choice is defined as choice for a smaller, more immediate reinforcer over a larger, more delayed reinforcer, whereas self-controlled choice is defined as choice for a larger, more delayed reinforcer over a smaller, more immediate reinforcer. Determinants of impulsive and self-controlled choices may be studied by employing delay-discounting procedures. When using a discrete-trials delay-discounting procedure, a difference in delay discounting as a function of order of presentation of delays to larger-reinforcer delivery was reported by one previous study, whereas another study reported no differences. In both studies, subjects had a history of exposure to both ascending and descending order of delay presentations prior to establishing stable delay-discounting functions with one or both order of delay presentations. Experiment 1 used a group design with Sprague-Dawley rats and a discrete-trials, within-session procedure to evaluate effects of order of delay presentation on delay discounting while controlling for history of exposure to different order of delay presentations. Levels of delay discounting (impulsive choice) were not systematically affected by order of delay presentation. Experiment 2 tested the impact of order of delay presentation on effects of d-amphetamine on delay discounting. Relative to saline, acute administration of the two largest doses of d-amphetamine tested resulted in decreases in mean area under the curve, regardless of order of delay presentation.

▼ The discriminative effect of the response-reinforcer relation may contribute to the change in response rates that occur when reinforcement is delayed. The present study investigated this possibility using a discrete-trials conditional discrimination procedure. Each trial began with a sample component where a variable-interval schedule was assigned either to a left or right key. The key peck that ended the schedule, which served as the sample response, in different conditions initiated delays with a signal fully mediating the delay interval, delays with a signal present only during the first second of the interval, or delays with the absence of signal. The delay in turn was followed by a choice component where one alternative was correct if the sample response had been a left-key response and the other alternative was correct if the sample had been a right-key response. Correct discrimination of the location of the sample response resulted in reinforcement. Accuracy was high with a full signal; slightly lower with a partial, relative to a full, signal; and lowest without a signal. Thus, responses producing delayed reinforcers were detected, but only when a stimulus change accompanied the response. The results parallel the way response rates change when behavior is maintained under a conventional reinforcement schedule as a result of adding delays prior to reinforcement at each type of delay. This suggests a possible role for the discriminative effect of the response-reinforcer relation in the control of behavior by (delayed) reinforcement.

▼ Time markers are events that are predictive of when future events will occur. Different events can serve as time markers that initiate intervals in schedules of reinforcement. Pigeons were exposed to fixed-interval (FI) schedules in which the onset of the interval was signaled by the illumination of a key light, initiated by a peck to a lighted key, or a combination of both events. In these variations of fixed-interval schedules, food was delivered contingent on the first response after the interval elapsed. In Experiment 1, three pigeons were exposed to a multiple schedule. One component was a standard FI schedule; key light illumination signaled the onset of the interval. The other component was a response-initiated fixed-interval (RIFI) schedule; the first key-peck response determined the onset of the interval. In Experiment 2, three pigeons were exposed to a multiple FI-RIFI schedule of reinforcement and on occasional trials food was not delivered (i.e., "no-food" or "peak trials"). A yoking procedure equated reinforcement rates between the schedule types in both Experiments 1 and 2. First-response latencies were longer and absolute response rates early in the schedules were higher in the RIFI schedules in Experiments 1 and 2. Normalized response-rate gradients, ogive fits, and breakpoints were equivalent for the schedule types in Experiment 1, indicating no differences in temporal discrimination. However, the duration of responding at a high rate was longer in no-food trials of RIFI schedules than no-food trials of FI schedules in Experiment 2, which suggests that temporal discrimination precision was reduced in the RIFI schedules. In Experiment 3, three pigeons were exposed to FI, RIFI, and Signaled-RIFI schedules of reinforcement. In Signaled-RIFI schedules, the interval-initiating response was associated with a key-light color and location change. First-response latencies were shorter in the Signaled-RIFI schedules than in the FI and RIFI schedules. Reinforcement rates were highest in the FI schedules, and higher in the Signaled-RIFI schedules than the RIFI schedules – a result of the relatively shorter first-response latencies. Normalized response-rate gradients, ogive fits, and breakpoints revealed no significant differences in temporal discrimination between the schedule types. However, response-rate gradients and breakpoints in the Signaled-RIFI schedules were more similar to those obtained in the FI than RIFI schedules. Although current models of interval timing do not include parameters for the dimension of time markers, the results of Experiment 2 indicate that time marker dimension may affect temporal discrimination precision and that responses may be less efficacious time markers than exteroceptive stimuli.

▼ Our eyes are always in motion. Even when we attempt to maintain steady gaze, fixational eye movements, which include ocular drift and microscopic saccades (known as microsaccades or fixational saccades) continually shift the projection of the visual scene onto the retina. Despite much progress during the last decade, many aspects regarding the visual function of these movements remain unknown. This dissertation describes four studies in which fixational eye movements were recorded by means of a high resolution eye tracker to provide answers to the following fundamental questions:
(1) What is the visual input to the retina? Data from a large group of untrained observers show that the precision of fixation varies widely across individuals. Furthermore, they show that the line of sight normally covers a much larger area and ocular drift is much faster than commonly assumed.
(2) What triggers fixational saccades? Data obtained with a new method for measuring the fixation error clarify that both spatial and temporal factors contribute to the generation of microsaccades. During intended fixation on a point, fixational saccades typically correct for foveation errors, but microsaccades also occur at very small fixation displacements after a prolonged period of time.
(3) Are microsaccades controlled in the same way as saccades? The results of adaptation experiments show that microsaccades undergo plastic changes similar to those exhibited by larger saccades, strengthening the hypothesis that microsaccades and saccades are mediated by the same neural structures.
(4) What are the mechanisms of visual encoding during fixational eye movements? We examined whether humans are capable of extracting spatial information made available by fixational eye movements in the form of temporal modulations.
Results of experiments with precise control of retinal stimulation show that, in the absence of explicit spatial information, fixational modulations are sufficient to establish accurate spatial representation.
These results advance the field in multiple important ways. They show that fixational eye movements are under tight oculomotor control and that they contribute to the processing of visual information.

▼ Mental health is distinct to emotional vulnerability, and can be characterised by wellbeing and functioning well in life. Cognitive-affective approaches have been widely used to investigate emotional vulnerability, however, research investigating the cognitive characteristics of mental health and resilience is in its infancy. Research in this thesis examined emotional information processing biases in positive mental health. Chapters Two and Three present cross-sectional data that support the continued exploration of the role of emotional cognitive biases in mental health. Chapter Two found associations between positive attention biases and psychological flexibility, and between the recognition of facially expressed emotions and mental health. Chapter Three found that the interrelationships amongst biases in attention, interpretation, and memory differed between high mental health and low mental health samples of adolescents. In Chapters Four and Five, attention bias modification was used to train attention bias towards positive information and away from negative information. Training-induced shifts in attentional bias were found to associate with positive emotions and happiness 12 weeks later in Chapter Four, but not in the replication and extension in Chapter Five. In Chapter Six a cognitive model of psychological resilience is introduced to draw together the largely disparate fields of emotional information-processing in emotional vulnerability, and resilience approaches. Chapter Seven was a proof-of-principle study of one hypothesis drawn from the cognitive model outlined in Chapter Six. Data from a novel attention bias alignment assessment task supported the hypothesis that individuals are capable of aligning attentional bias to threat as a function of whether displaying such a bias is adaptive or maladaptive in the current context. The studies in this thesis contribute to the understanding of emotional information-processing in mental health and resilience. Future studies investigating the adaptive directing of cognitive biases in differing contexts may be especially useful moving forward.

▼ In the opiate dependent population, the most consistently reported decision-making deficit is an increase in impulsivity compared to controls. The level of impulsivity observed in this population shows both reward-specificity and state-dependency. In particular, opiate dependent humans are more impulsive towards opiate rewards than monetary rewards. Similarly, opiate dependent individuals show increased impulsivity when they are tested in a state of withdrawal. On the other hand, extended abstinence and acute administration of opiates appear to decrease the level of impulsivity observed. Based on this relationship, impulsivity may be a risk factor for opiate addiction; that is, impulsivity predates and predicts drug use and abuse. Alternately, it is possible that the physiological and psychological changes that accompany drug dependence result in a state of increased impulsivity. The goal of this thesis is to test the latter hypothesis in rats order to better understand the relationship between impulsivity and opiate dependence in humans. Impulsivity can be modeled with delay discounting – a method to determine the rate at which the value of future rewards is discounted when there is a delay before delivery. In this task, rats chose between pressing one of two levers for liquid sucrose reward. Pressing one lever yielded a small immediate reward (50µl 20% sucrose) and the other yielded a larger delayed reward (150µl 20% sucrose). Delay discounting sessions consisted of five blocks of fourteen forced trials. On the first four trials of each block rats were forced to sample each reward twice. On the following ten trials rats could choose either lever. Length of the delay was systematically increased (0s, 5s, 9s, 16s, 30s) between successive blocks within session. Delay discounting curves were determined by plotting mean proportion choice for the larger reward against delay. Across several experimental manipulations, this method was used to test the difference in impulsivity between morphine-dependent rats that received a nightly 30mg/kg subcutaneous dose of morphine and non-dependent rats that received a nightly saline injection. These experiments revealed that morphine dependence can cause an increase in impulsivity that is restricted to the period of exposure. Precipitating withdrawal in dependent rats also caused an increase in impulsivity. Dependent animals discounted morphine rewards at a faster rate than non-morphine rewards, whereas both rewards were discounted similarly in non-dependent rats. On the other hand acute morphine caused increased impulsivity in non-dependent animals whereas dependent rats showed tolerance to this effect. These results support the hypothesis that impulsivity in the human opiate dependent population can result from extended exposure to large doses of opiates and that the effects are transient and vary with both the physiological and motivational state of the organism

▼ Des interactions expertes avec des objets sonores, tel que le jeu des instruments à percussion, dépendent de la résolution d'incertitudes concernant la rétroaction provenant de signaux acoustiques et tactiles rayonnés par les objets mis en vibration. Cette incertitude pourrait découler d'une mauvaise estimation des propriétés mécaniques de l'objet, telle que sa rigidité. La façon dont le traitement intégré des informations auditives et haptiques générées par l'objet agit sur l'ajustement des actions qui produisent du son reste inexplorée. Les participants tenaient un stylet et ont appris à stabiliser la vitesse du poignée en frappant de façon répétée sur un objet sonore virtuel dont la rigidité de surface était contrôlée par un ordinateur. A l'insu des participants, la rétroaction sensorielle a été manipulée en perturbant la rigidité acoustique et haptique de l'objet, de manière congrue ou incongrue. Les changements compensatoires dans la vitesse de frappe ont été mesurés en tant qu'effet moteur de la perturbation sensorielle. Nous avons quantifié les contributions de chaque modalité sensorielle au contrôle de la cinématique du poignée en caractérisant l'asymétrie potentielle des effets de congruence entre l'audition et le toucher. Ces effets sont opérationnalisés en tant que différence des effets moteurs entre les essais congrus et incongrus. Nous avons trouvé une dominance marquée du toucher par rapport à l'audition dans la stabilisation de la cinématique du poignée. La pondération inter-sensorielle nécessaire pour la compensation motrice était conforme avec une prédiction statistique optimale fondée sur le bruit moteur spécifique à chaque modalité. L'expertise en percussion a facilité la précision motrice (diminution du bruit moteur) dans toutes les conditions expérimentales. Pourtant, le processus multi-sensoriel lié à l'action semble dépendre d'un mécanisme à incertitude minimale qui optimise le signal de contrôle pour la fiabilité de la cinématique de frappe indépendamment de l'expertise musicale.
Skilled interactions with sounding objects such as drumming rely on resolving the uncertainty in the feedback from acoustical and tactual signals radiated from the objects being set into vibration. The uncertainty may arise from misestimation of the objects' mechanical properties, such as their stiffness. How the integrated processing of object-generated auditory and haptic information feeds back into the fine-tuning of sound-generating actions remains unexplored. Participants held a stylus and learned to stabilize the downward wrist velocity while striking repeatedly a virtual sounding object whose surface stiffness was under computer control. No visual input about the movements or object was provided. Unbeknownst to participants, the sensory feedback was manipulated by perturbing the acoustic and haptic stiffness of the object either in a congruent or incongruent manner. The compensatory changes in striking velocity were measured as a motor effect of the sensory perturbation. We quantified the contributions of…

▼ This thesis brings together historical and empirical research on colour-shape correspondences. Historical accounts usually start with Wassily Kandinsky’s universal visual language of art and design, which explored colours and forms in depth as fundamental building blocks. Whilst colour-shape correspondences provide an example of an intramodal sensory correspondence, modern empirical work in this area has typically been grounded in the field of crossmodal correspondences research. All empirical work conducted on colour-shape correspondences is examined through a systematic review of 28 articles (k = 50, N = 4599), finding, on average, colour and shape to be associated to a small to moderate degree in terms of effect size. However, many inconsistencies in research to date are also found. Over the course of nine experiments, the high amount of variance in colour-shape matches and their task and stimuli-dependent nature is demonstrated. Particular areas that are explored are whether certain shape characteristics can be found that predict chosen colour characteristics, the role of individual differences, and the relationship of colour-shape correspondences with aesthetics. Key conceptual, statistical, and practical issues are highlighted throughout the thesis. Finally, a theoretical groundwork for colour-shape correspondences is posited based on a dynamic representational geometry associative model for intramodal and crossmodal correspondences.

▼ In clinical and forensic practice, professionals often
use dolls and human figure drawings (HFDs) to question young
children about touch events. These professionals assume children
understand the representational nature of the props. However,
recent work has shown even 5-year-olds make some errors when using
props to show touch occurring on them. The purpose of the present
study was to examine whether requiring children to use their own
bodies impeded their performance in showing touches when using
drawings and dolls as representations. Children’s use of 2D line
drawings and 3D objects (i.e., scale models and dolls) as symbols
was assessed on three tasks. All children used the symbols to show
touch occurring on their own bodies, touch occurring on another
person’s body, and to guide their search for a hidden object. For
all tasks, children’s performance improved with age; however, even
5-year-olds made some errors showing touch locations. Findings
revealed that asking children to use their own bodies did affect
their accuracy in using dolls and drawings as symbols. When asked
to show touch locations on another person, children’s performance
was intermediate to the other two tasks. Children demonstrated
improved performance in showing touch locations on another person
as compared to their own bodies. However, this finding was
qualified by a significant interaction. Children made the most
errors when asked to use 2D drawings to show touch locations that
occurred on their own bodies as compared to any other task/symbol
combination. Forensic applications and theoretical implications of
the findings are discussed.

▼ As people continue to live longer lives, the need to
understand age-related cognitive change will increase.
Understanding how older adults control their movements is one way
to better understand how aging affects behavior. Research conducted
by Welford, Norris, and Shock (1969) and Temprado et al. (2013)
using a task to measure speed and accuracy demonstrated that as a
human ages, the characteristics of their movements change. In
particular, as compared with younger adults, older participants
aged 60-79 showed a trend of reducing their movement speed while
maintaining similar levels of accuracy across increases in task
difficulty. Using a task to measure the speed and accuracy of
participants over changes in the task difficulty, Coats and Wann
(2011) suggested that older adults are more reliant on vision in
order to complete a task that required accuracy in the placement of
their movement endpoints. In the present study, older and younger
adults used a computer mouse to move back and forth between two
targets for 400 movements. The conditions included manipulations of
visual information i.e., whether movement will occur in the
presence or absence of visual feedback and difficulty. The results
show that older adults were overall slower and less accurate than
younger adults, but had less movement variability. ID and Vision
were important for motor control, but the interactions with Group
did not have a significant effect on motor control.

▼ The purpose of this series of studies was to evaluate the extent to which a non-reinforcement based correlation training procedure could combine with a Yes/No evaluation method to establish and test for derived equivalent and spatial relations. In the first experiment, participants were trained stimulus pairs between A-B and B-C across three stimulus sets. Participants were subsequently tested using a Yes/No evaluative procedure of untrained B-A, C-B, A-C, and C-A relations. Experiment two utilized the same training structure as well as testing for the same derived relations, however used a complex semi-random trial structure. In both experiments 1 and 2 the majority of participants responded accurately to all of the possible tested derived relations. In experiment 3, the same training and testing procedure was employed to establish spatial relations. Tests for possible derived spatial relations were observed for the majority of participants. The three experiments demonstrated the effectiveness of a correlation training and Yes/No evaluation procedure that to date has not been reported in the derived relational responding literature.

▼ Since Csikszentmihalyi identified the psychological experience of flow over 40 years ago, the experiences have been heralded as the optimum human function and prescriptive to high levels of well-being and quality of life. Csikszentmihalyi theorized that flow represented an autonomous reality that represented an altered state unlike any other human experience. Flow states emerged from intrinsically motivated behavior that represented a fragile balance between the level of enjoyment from novel task stimulation and a sense of self-efficacy required to meet the specific task demands. However, flow is not well understood and research is skewed toward to phenomenological investigations that described the nature of the experience and many of the significant variables of interest across a diverse range of activities. The lack of experimental exploration of flow has created fundamental research gaps. The general problem is that flow is predictive and related to positive psychological outcomes; however, current assessment methodologies and research have not provided the functional neuroanatomy involved. The purpose of this quantitative experimental study was to examine the hypofrontality theory that a flow state occurs concurrently with decreased cognitive activation in the frontal cortex (hypofrontality) during the flow phenomena. Participants consisted of expert piano players that were assessed for changes in alpha activity in the frontal cortex during a flow and non-flow condition. Results from the paired samples paired t-test conducted revealed there were statistically significant differences in alpha power in the experimental conditions (DV) versus the control conditions (IV; <i> M</i> = 93, <i>SD</i> = 105, <i>N</i> = 14), <i> t</i>(13) = 3.29, <i>p</i> = .006. These results supported the main hypothesis that there is increased alpha power in the frontal cortex during flow states. This finding provides the first empirically validated biomarker for a flow. These results will assist future research to understand flow experiences as a conceptually unambiguous variable.

▼ Previous research has shown that feedback tone affects users' perceptions of computer systems. This study tested the generality of this finding and explored possible interactions of feedback tone with feedback validity and user gender. The task was a multiple cue probability learning (MCPL) problem. Experiment 1was used to establish an appropriate level of task difficulty and ensure the effectiveness of cognitive feedback. In Experiment 2, cognitive feedback validity and feedback tone were manipulated as within-subjects variables. Women improved substantially over blocks of trials in both tone conditions whereas men improved only in the polite condition. Most women preferred polite feedback whereas most men preferred the opposite. These results extend the range of tasks in which feedback tone has been shown to affect users' reactions to interfaces. These results suggest dissociation between performance and preference as men improved more with polite feedback although they preferred direct feedback.

▼ The history of intergroup research is built on groups that represent "endpoints" of a dimension of social identity, such as White, Black, heterosexual, and gay/lesbian. Social groups who fall between these more readily recognized advantaged and disadvantaged groups (e.g., biracial people, bisexual people) have received less attention. These intermediate social groups are increasingly visible and numerous in the United States, however, and a detailed account of the biases they face can contribute to a fuller understanding of intergroup relations. This dissertation examines attitudes and beliefs about intermediate social groups, focusing on bisexual people as the primary example at first, and then expanding the investigation to biracial people and novel groups to make the case that intermediate groups elicit a distinctive pattern of biases. Across studies, participants expressed beliefs that undermined the legitimacy of intermediate groups in a variety of ways. They endorsed the view that intermediate groups are low in social realness (conceptually invalid, meaningless, lacking a concrete social existence) and that intermediate group identities are unstable (provisional, lacking a genuine underlying truth, the result of confusion). These views of social realness and identity stability partially explained prejudice against intermediate groups. The concept of social group intermediacy is abstract; actual intermediate groups (e.g., biracial and bisexual people) are different from each other because their defining types of intermediacy stem from different dimensions of social identity (race and sexual orientation). Therefore, focused research on each specific intermediate group is necessary to fully understand the types of attitudes they evoke due to their intermediate status. To demonstrate the value of attending to the details of a particular intermediate group, Chapters 2 through 5 focused on bisexual people. The observed patterns of attitudes and beliefs about bisexual people demonstrated the role of their perceived intermediate status in the context of sexual orientation. Chapter 2 investigated attitudes toward sexual orientation groups in a large sample of heterosexual and gay/lesbian participants. Bisexuality was evaluated less favorably and perceived as less stable than heterosexuality and homosexuality. Stereotypes about bisexual people pertained to gender conformity, decisiveness, and monogamy; few positive traits were associated with bisexuality. Chapter 3 extended these findings, demonstrating that negative evaluation of sexual minorities was more closely associated with perceived identity instability than it was with the view that sexual orientation is a choice. This relationship was moderated by both participant and target sexual orientation. Chapter 4 addressed one reason why bisexual people are evaluated more negatively than gay/lesbian people. A common explanation given for the discrepancy in evaluation is that bisexuality introduces ambiguity into a binary model of…

▼ People often makes inductive inferences that go beyond the data that are given. In order to generate these inferences, people must rely on inductive biases - constraints on learning that guide conclusion from limited data. This thesis presents a survey of three topics concerning people's inductive biases.The first part of this thesis examines people's expectations about the strengths of causes in elemental causal induction - learning about the relationship between a single cause and effect. These expectations are formalized as prior probabilities in a Bayesian model. We estimate people's prior beliefs concerning the variables involved in such causal systems using the technique of iterated learning and demonstrate that a Bayesian model using the priors which are produced by this experiment performs well in predicting human behavior.The second part attempted to capture people's inductive biases in causal relationships by expressing them in logical rules, and assign prior probabilities in a way that favors simplicity. Experimental data shows that it captured how people responded to causal reasoning tasks and helped explain the biases towards simpler representations.The final part of this thesis investigated the differences in inductive biases between people from North American and Chinese cultures concerning judgment discrimination - how people differentiate choices of higher and lower values. We found cultural differences in a wide range of domains. The findings demonstrate the extents to which cultural influences contribute to judgment discrimination. These results were attributed to the differences in inductive biases of the two cultures.These investigations combined to demonstrate the strong and broad influence of inductive biases on human reasoning, learning, judgments, and decision making. They suggest the importance of understanding these inductive biases in our attempt to understand human cognition.

▼ The vigilance decrement is the decline in performance over time that characterizes tasks requiring sustained attention. Resource Theory proposes that the vigilance decrement is due to information processing assets that become depleted with use. Resource theorists must thus identify these assets and the process of how resources are depleted and replenished. The Microlapse Theory of Fatigue (MTF) identifies the resource that is depleted when performing a sustained attention task as the central executive attentional network. The depletion of the central executive network resource results in microlapses or brief gaps in attention that prevent the perception and processing of information. The MTF can explain various effects in the sustained attention literature regarding how resources are depleted. However, the MTF alone cannot explain the event rate effect or the motivation effect because it does not include replenishment mechanisms that can occur during a sustained attention task. To better understand the process of replenishment, participants were assigned to varying event rate and external motivation conditions in a novel paradigm that could measure the perceptual processing of a trial over time. These stages of processing included when participants looked at the first stimulus, looked at the second stimulus, and responded. In Experiment 1, it was found that the vigilance decrement was more severe for faster event rates, consistent with Resource Theory and counter to the MTF. In Experiment 2, the event rate effect was replicated, but unexpectedly, external motivation did not impact the vigilance decrement. In both experiments it was found that for the stages of processing that involved looking at the stimuli, more slowing was found as event rate increased. Additionally, more slowing was detected earlier in the processing of a trial than later. These results supported the process of microlapses inducing the vigilance decrement due to not having enough time to perceive, encode, and respond to stimuli, as described by the MTF. It was interpreted that the interaction between time-on-task and event rate was due to opportunistic breaks that occurred more frequently in slower event rate conditions. The finding that more slowing occurred earlier in processing was interpreted as evidence for internal rewards related to learning impacting the speed of processing a trial. To explain these findings, I propose the Microlapse Theory of Fatigue with Replenishment (MTFR) a process model similar to MTF, but that includes additional replenishment mechanisms related to opportunistic rest periods and internal rewards. The Microlapse Theory of Fatigue with Replenishment (MTFR) closely correlates to the empirical data and is an important step forward in the effort to build a comprehensive model of sustained attention.

▼ <b>Background:</b> Perception of changes in physiological arousal is theorized to form the basis for which the brain labels emotional states. Interoception is a process by which individuals become aware of physiological sensations. Lowered emotional awareness has been found to be associated with lower interoceptive awareness. Alexithymia is a personality trait associated with lowered emotion recognition ability which affects 10-20% of the university student population in Western countries. Research suggests that being made aware of one’s heartbeat may enhance emotional awareness. <b>Objective(s): </b> The present study attempted to enhance emotion recognition abilities directly via an experimental interoceptive manipulation in order to decrease levels of alexithymia. It had three aims: 1) To examine whether exposing individuals to the interoceptive sound of their own heart beat could illicit changes in their emotion recognition abilities,2) To examine whether higher emotion recognition abilities as a result of listening to one’s own heartbeat differed by alexithymia group, and 3) if higher interoceptive awareness was associated with higher RME scores during the own heartbeat sound condition. <b>Methods: </b> 36 participants were recruited from an introductory psychology class at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. Participants completed lab-based tests of emotion recognition followed by questionnaires assessing alexithymia and interoceptive abilities. During the lab-based test of emotion recognition, participants were subjected to an interoceptive manipulation by listening to three sounds (in random order): own heartbeat, another person’s heartbeat, and footsteps. To test aim 1, a repeated-measures ANOVA examined differences in emotion recognition scores during the various sound conditions (i.e., no sound, own heartbeat, other heartbeat, footsteps). For evaluating aim 2, a two way 3 x 4 RM ANOVA tested for differences in RME scores by sound condition when individuals were alexithymic, possibly alexithymic and not alexithymic. Aim 3 was examined using correlations between the attention to body and emotion awareness subscale scores separately with RME score for own heartbeat. <b>Results:</b> Contrary to predictions, RME performance did not vary according to body sound condition, <i>F</i> (3, 105) =.53, p = .67, <i>η</i>² = .02. A significant interaction was seen between alexithymia category and RME scores during the interoceptive sound conditions, <i>F</i> (6, 99) = 2.27, p = .04, <i>η </i>² = .12. However, post-hoc analyses did not reveal significant differences between specific alexithymia categories and RME scores. A significant positive relationship was seen between RME during own heartbeat and being able to pay attention to the body (<i>r</i> (36) = .34, p = .05, <i> R</i>² = .11). <b>Discussion:</b> Our results suggest that more attention was directed toward facial emotions when subjects listened to their own heartbeat but this increase did not result in…

▼ A major purpose of education is to instill durable
knowledge that students can access and use outside of their course
(e.g., in other courses, in their occupations, and in their daily
lives). In previous research, Zamary, Wissman, and Rawson (under
review) found that application of declarative concepts (i.e.,
abstract key concepts denoted by terms and short definitions) was
greater following practice focused on learning examples of those
concepts versus definitions of those concepts. However, exploratory
conditional analyses suggested that declarative concept application
would be even greater following practice of both examples and
definitions. Accordingly, the primary purpose of this research was
to test the dual-route hypothesis, which states that declarative
concept application will best supported when learners are strongly
equipped with both definitions and examples versus only one of
these kinds of content. In two experiments, the dual-route
hypothesis was supported. However, findings from Experiment 1
indicated that concept application success could not be explained
by the dual-route hypothesis alone. Accordingly, a second
hypothesis was proposed and tested in Experiment 2. In particular,
the recruitment hypothesis generally states that declarative
concept application success depends on what learners remember and
use during application. In support of the recruitment hypothesis,
groups did proportionally recruit different kinds of content during
application which differentially supported declarative concept
application success.

▼ Terror management theory posits that when people are
primed with thoughts of death, they will seek to abide by their
cultural worldview beliefs. For example, mortality reminders
motivate those with an extrinsic goal orientation to strive to
accomplish culturally valued goals (e.g., wealth) and defend
familiar cultural worldviews. But, as of yet, no research has
investigated the possibility that MS might motivate those with an
intrinsic goal orientation to strive instead to explore culturally,
socially, or intellectually novel experiences and information. The
present research hypothesized that MS would lead individuals with
stronger extrinsic goal orientations to defensively prefer their
familiar cultural views, yet motivate people oriented toward
intrinsic goals to engage those growth-oriented goals by becoming
more open-minded toward exploring novel cultural information. Goal
orientations were assessed (via the Aspirations Index, Kasser &
Ryan, 1996), the awareness of mortality (vs. control condition) was
manipulated, and then participants indicated interest in being
exposed to foreign (vs. domestic) films. However, results indicated
that goal orientations did not interact with mortality salience to
predict interest in the films. Possible explanations are
discussed.

▼ A complex nervous system must transmit information many times, potentially over relatively vast distances. For example, information in vision originates from the retina, conveyed via the optic nerve to the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (LGN) before arriving at the visual cortex at the back of the brain ? a distance spanning almost the entire length of the brain. From there, some information may be further transmitted forward onto the prefrontal cortex at the front of the brain. How does the brain attain a high reliability (i.e. minimal errors) throughout the entirety of such a communications process? Is information in the brain represented continuously, or discretely? A communications systems engineer, such as Claude Elwood Shannon, would stipulate that a continuous neural coding protocol is too error prone due to noise. To attain high reliability, a discrete neural coding protocol would be the necessary pre-requisite. This is the conclusion of my work in Chapter 2, based on a theoretical simulation of information transmission (i.e. communications) between neurons. My analysis of behavioral tasks in Chapters 3 (i.e. a conjunction probability task) and 4 (i.e. an intertemporal choice task) further reinforced this conclusion ? that, information in the brain is most likely to be represented discretely. The right question to pose is not one about continuous-versus-discrete representation, but rather, one that is focused on how fine-grained the discreteness is (i.e. how many bits of precision). We cannot and should not simply assume the use of continuous models in modeling cognitive tasks ? we need to test how fine grained the discreteness is. This is a major advance and demarcation from the continuous model assumption typically employed in data analysis.
