Sexual Attractiveness: Waist not, want not...
ISBN: 9783844301229 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Natural selection describes how characteristics of survival benefit are selected for & then successful genes are passed on to offspring. As the genetic quality of a potential mate cannot be observed directly, humans rely on physical attributes. The human body shape, specifically the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is an honest signal of a females health & fertility. Research has linked WHR to perceived attractiveness. However, previous studies are criticised for using 2D & unrealistic stimuli. This book explores the role of WHR using new 3D stimuli. Participants viewed a movie of 4...

Recognition memory and Event-Related Potentials
ISBN: 9783844328400 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dual-process models of recognition memory propose that recognition memory can be supported by either a general sense of familiarity or the recollection of the encoding context. One source of evidence supporting dual-process models comes from event- related potential (ERP) studies of recognition memory, which have identified distinct patterns of neural activity associated with familiarity and recollection (the mid frontal and left parietal old/new effects, respectively). In this thesis, dual- process accounts of recognition memory were investigated in a series of ERP studies using three...

Syntax and working memory in preschool children with autism
ISBN: 9783838313986 / Angielski / Miękka / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This research explores the influence of core neurocognitive processes on syntactic development in autism, a developmental disability characterized by language deficits. Syntactic development requires a child to match co-occurrences of words and morphemes and their meanings, a process that requires the integration of multiple, probabilistic cues from linguistic and social, and real- world contexts, and thus may depend on working memory. Paradoxically, the limited short-term verbal memory characteristic of typically developing children may improve their ability to perform this mapping...

Communication in Autism Spectrum Disorders
ISBN: 9783838362540 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Efficient communication requires a great deal of pragmatic inferencing. This is rooted in the ability to take into account a variety of cues, such as the context and the speakers mental or emotional states. Crucially, in spoken language, hearers can also rely on prosodic cues. These situations are especially challenging for people with autism, who have well-known difficulties in recognising and interpreting others mental states. In this book, I explore the various components of prosody and assess whether people with an ASD are specifically impaired in interpreting prosodic cues that rely on...

How Does Religious Strain Affect Lesbian Gay and Bisexual individuals?
ISBN: 9783838360782 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The objective of this study was to investigate whether there is a conflict between religious and sexual identities among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals and to explore the effect of this conflict on their psychological health. Based on a collection of qualitative and quantitative research, results from this study revealed the ways that religious strain and internalized homonegativity directly impact psychological health, as well as mediate and serve as risk factors for psychological outcomes among LGB individuals at differing stages of coming out. Variations in how LGB...

The effects of sleep deprivation on driving-related performance
ISBN: 9783838334172 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sleepiness contributes up to 30% of all heavy vehicle accidents throughout the world each year. Professional drivers are particularly susceptible to the effects of sleepiness, due to chronic or acute sleep deprivation, time-on-task effects, driving at circadian low points, and increased daytime sleepiness resulting from sleep disorders. Population surveys of heavy vehicle drivers indicates that a small proportion of drivers use pharmaceutical means in order to help maintain alertness during long-haul trips. Despite the known benefits of amphetamine-type stimulants on reducing ...

Functional Connectivity of Eeg in the Default Network of the Brain
ISBN: 9783838358512 / Angielski / Miękka / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work was undertaken with enthusiastic curiosity. In the course of reading thousands of neuroscience articles I have been hard pressed to understand what the EEG in the default network would look like when processing the self. In considering this ill-defined and often argued concept, the self must first be defined in its neurological components. Since the dawn of human language or even before there have been questions relating to existence and the meaning of life; however, in seeking these answers, the essence and meaning of the self has been neglected. Thus, we set out with very broad...

The Effects of Camp Interventions on Adolescent Self-Esteem
ISBN: 9783838376813 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Research suggests that the active protection and promotion of self-esteem is critical to mental and social well being and plays an important role as a protective and non specific risk factor in physical and mental health. Youth problems such as poor academic achievement, risky sexual behavior, insolence, drug and alcohol abuse, psychological distress and delinquency have been associated with low self-esteem. Many programs have been designed to increase self esteem in children and adolescents, however, few have so far been assessed for their effectiveness. Thus, a study consisting of 98...

Strategy-Based Peer Tutoring
ISBN: 9783838301020 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Traditionally, teachers have used textbooks and lectures in the classroom as a cost-effective and time efficient medium for instruction. Students with learning disabilities, however, typically require instruction that is more explicit and supportive than what is provided in the regular classroom. Difficulties in providing students with learning disabilities such intensive support become amplified at the secondary school level. With this in mind, there have been changes in instructional approaches for teaching adolescents with learning disabilities that can compensate for the lack of...

Sleep Effects on Declarative Memory: An Experimental Analysis
ISBN: 9783838349558 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Human long term memory can be categorized as Procedural and Declarative. Memory for faces is declarative and plays an essential role in social interactions. Face perception guides our behavior towards others in society. In order to understand the memory for faces its two components - face identity and face expression needs to be addressed. Recent research in Neuroscience suggests sleep modulates memory consolidation. However, researches targeting the effects of sleep on declarative memory has been largely inconclusive. The present work makes an attempt to investigate the role of sleep on...

Posterior Parietal Cortex and non-spatial attention control
ISBN: 9783838336473 / Angielski / Miękka / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Goals dominate primate behavior. Almost all intended behaviors depend on the acquisition of "cognitive sets" endowing us with expectations about classes of stimuli and responses (S-R sets) appropriate to achieve a particular goal in a given context. Selective attention allows to switch between competing cognitive sets by focusing onto the currently relevant S-R sets while disengaging from other interfering S-R sets. The question whether non- human primates provide an appropriate model for human task-switching has not been completely answered. Posterior Parietal Cortex (PPC) has long been...

Working Memory Capacity and Foreign Language Speech Production
ISBN: 9783838356068 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book reports on a study which investigated (i) whether bilingual lexical access (BLA) is predicted by working memory capacity (WMC) and proficiency level in L2; (ii) whether WMC and L2 proficiency interact in predicting BLA, and (iii) the extent to which within-language competition affects BLA. 100 learners of English as a foreign language (L2) performed three WMC tests, two proficiency tests and one BLA test. Data analysis revealed that WMC and L2 proficiency both significantly predicted BLA. Higher spans retrieved lexical items faster than lower spans. Moreover, the facilitation...

Feature Specific Mechanisms in the human brain
ISBN: 9783838337258 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What are the current limits of our knowledge of brain activity underlying vision and how can it be furthered? In this book, I explore this basic question with hands-on experimental studies. I focus on those aspects of visual input that can be described as basic features of visual perception. However, understanding how humans visually perceive the external world is closely related with the study of attention. Attention, that is, the selection of some aspects of the environment over others, is one of the most intensively studied areas in experimental psychology, yet its neural...

The sense of many years of experimental research was creation of the theoretico-methodologico-empiric foundations of the model of system of creative education. Creative education can give an impulse to reformation of the system of education and upbringing. Creative education can give opportunity to educate the new generations capable of not only reproducing the experience of the previous generations, but creating such an experience. The main thing that the system of creative education must do is educate the people, who are able to produce, in problem situations, the new experience and make...

Abstracting the Concrete
ISBN: 9783843352901 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Taking full advantage of learning requires transferring old learning to new situations. Abstract representations, such as symbols and formal equations, efficiently capture structural similarities across widely dissimilar contexts. Contextualization helps novice learners understand these abstract representations by applying them in natural scenarios, however novice learners have difficulty parsing richly contextualized knowledge. This is the dilemma. Novice learners need meaningful contexts to understand structure, but their initial learning must be decontextualized to transfer to...

Sentence processing reflects the influence of a variety of linguistic and psychological factors. Scholars have discussed both crosslinguistic universals of structural properties and the linear order of surface constituents as possible explanations of parsing preferences. Based on data from an experimental study of Korean adults' relative-clause comprehension and on a review of previous studies with Korean children and those with adult English speakers, this book addresses the independent and interacting effects of morphosyntax and prosody on parsing, the development of the parsing mechanism,...

The Dynamics of Bimanual Coordination in ADHD
ISBN: 9783843375580 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a severe disorder of self-control that affects between 2.5 and 6% of children in Europe, Australia and the USA. The main theory of ADHD proposes that children with this condition suffer from a deficit in areas of the frontal lobes dopamine pathways that serve to inhibit an unwanted response. This has served to provide a rationale for the use of stimulant medication, such as Ritalin, to enhance the amount of dopamine in underdeveloped areas of the brain. In contrast, the more recent research literature reviewed in this book shows that ...
