Brain Dynamics and Behavioral Basis of a Higher Level Cognitive Task
ISBN: 9783639366730 / Angielski / Miękka / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The important role of intraparietal sulcus (IPS) is well established in the processing of number along with its involvement in the processing of visual objects (i.e., shape, density). However, a direct assessment of the possible influence of quality judgment on quantity judgments of numbers remains unclear. To address this question, the present study investigated whether adult participants would report similar behavioral (i.e. reaction times, (RTs)) and neurophysiological (i.e. high-density electroencephalogram (EEG) scalp recordings) responses for Arabic numbers as represented in different...

Are More Friends Better?
ISBN: 9783639281170 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Research has viewed social status as synonymous with popularity. People with higher social status are generally perceived as possessing more positive characteristics. In regards to social networking sites, specifically Facebook, research suggests that the network size coefficient (the number of friends one has) contributes greatly to the perception of an individual. The current study revealed that participants rated a mock Facebook user with a high number of friends as friendlier, more likeable, approachable, and were more willing to donate money to a cause championed by her. Analyses from...

Determining the Cause of Increased Neurogenesis in Dominant Rodents
ISBN: 9783639313178 / Angielski / Miękka / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dominant male rodents exhibit increased rates of neuron formation (neurogenesis) compared to subordinate rodents. Elevated testosterone levels lead to similar increases in neurogenesis. Because dominant rodents frequently exhibit elevated testosterone levels, individual differences in testosterone production may underlie dominance-related neurogenesis. However, other aspects of dominance hierarchies, such as stress, may also contribute to differences in neurogenesis. The current study aimed to determine the relative contribution of these hormonal and social factors to dominance-related...

Multiple-object memory requires the hippocampus
ISBN: 9783639358995 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This thesis project investigates the role of the hippocampus in object memory. Currently, the hippocampus' role in object recognition is unclear, with some studies demonstrating a delay-dependent impairment after hippocampal damage while others showing no impairment. The present thesis used the novel object recognition task and its variants to investigate types of object memory in hippocampal lesion rats. In the first study, impairments were observed in discriminating object order and associating objects with contexts, while no impairment was observed in novel object recognition. In the...

Choice Deferral in Trade-off Decisions
ISBN: 9783639369182 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The ability to make decisions is essential to our everyday life. We are what we decide. However, in real life, we may put off making decisions (i.e., decision deferral), which could have serious consequences. For example, regarding medical decisions, if we keep on putting off making decisions, it might have negative consequences on our health. The present study explored various factors that correlated with choice deferral. Using MouselabWEB to trace how participants' process information, our findings revealed that different processing strategies combined with different processing time...

Shona Lexical Tone Processing
ISBN: 9783639373929 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This dissertation investigates the production and perception of Shona lexical tone at the disyllabic level. The focus is two fold; i) the effect of brain lesions on the production and perception of lexical tone, ii) the influence of linguistic experience with pitch contrasts on the ability to perceive Shona lexical tone with an emphasis on the strategies used to distinguish lexical tones. The dissertation evaluates the currently available hypotheses on the lateralization of lexical tone (Van Lancker, 1980; Van Lancker & Sidtis, 1992) to account for the patterns seen in Shona brain damaged...

Gardner's multiple intelligences and the counselling of children
ISBN: 9783639375084 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Multiple Intelligence Counselling is the doctoral thesis of the author Patrick OBrien. This book explores the thesis that Gardners theory of multiple intelligence is an excellent model for counselling and is as relevant in the therapy room as in classrooms. The book traces 10 case studies that demonstrate the use of Gradners theory in connecting with young clients in the authors practice. Secondly, it argues that the engagement of children in counselling and the development of rapport is best undertaken using a Gardner intelligence that the child is quite comfortable in using. ...

En l'absence d'organe dedie a la perception du temps, comment parvient-on a extraire cette information du milieu? Les durees les plus communement traitees sont les durees dites courtes (inferieures a l'heure) et il en existe 2 modes de traitement: la perception et l'estimation de la duree. La perception de la duree concerne les durees inferieures a la seconde et consiste a extraire une representation mentale de cette duree. Les donnees de la litterature convergent en faveur d'un mecanisme central de traitement possedant a sa source une base de temps et ont permis de determiner les...

La Perception Des Objets En Vision Périphérique

Why dolphins cooperate?
ISBN: 9783838302133 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why cooperate? The common approach emphasizes material gain, expressed in evolutionary biology as fitness. In psychology, it is expressed as maximization of the expected utility. This approach is usually demonstrated in experiments by using isolated anonymous individuals. But when social dimensions are restored, a bias-to- cooperate occurs: subjects cooperate more than expected from immediate material gains. This book offers an explanation to the bias based on two hypotheses: one, that there are two types of immediate reinforcements: emotional states linked to the social dimensions...

A Model Experimental System for Studying Acute Prenatal Experience
ISBN: 9783838321943 / Angielski / Miękka / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A framework is presented to characterize acute fetal and maternal responses to maternal psychological challenges to discover under what conditions these experiences might be advantageous, disadvantageous, or even have no effect on later developmental outcomes. Objectifying stress phenomena may be possible by characterizing the number of different biological, psychological, and behavioral response dimensions recruited by an organism to respond to environmental events. Acute maternal and fetal reactions were measured in a pregnant pigtailed macaque (Macaca nemestrina) instrumented with chronic...

Gendered Memory: Innate or Learned?
ISBN: 9783838348988 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Evolutionary theory posits that contemporary gender differences originated in the successful adaptation to the different demands faced by men and women over time. The sexual division of labor in hunter-gather societies may have led to the evolution of sex differences in spatial and memory abilities, with males developing an affinity for tracking moving targets and females developing superior skills for remembering static objects. On the other hand, gender schema theory argues that because males and females are exposed to different socialization processes, they develop schemata...

Stereotype threat is no match for a regulatory fit
ISBN: 9783838348193 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over a decade ago, academic psychologists demonstrated that low academic performance by students could be explained by negative stereotypes ascribed to their racial, gender, or cultural groups. For example, researchers have argued that the stereotype that women are bad at math leads women to underperform on math tests relative to men. This monograph describes research studies that were inspired by regulatory fit theory and reviews the literatures on stereotype threat and regulatory fit. The regulatory fit approach is used to explore the benefits of placing individuals in appropriate task...
