Researchers have long been interested in the emergence of transitivity (e.g., if A>B and B>C, then A>C). However, it is not clear at what age children start to make transitive inferences successfully. In addition, nonhuman ...

Emotion regulation plays a key role in several theories of prejudice reduction. Here, we tested whether engaging in emotion regulation strategies while performing an implicit racial bias task would alter neural and behavioral ...

Visual working memory stores stimuli from our environment as representations that can be accessed by high-level control processes. This study addresses a longstanding debate in the literature about whether storage limits ...

Finite normal mixture modeling is a popular technique for clustering individuals into distinct subpopulations. A characteristic of mixture modeling that researchers may be unaware of is its tendency to arrive at locally, ...

As network data gains popularity for research in various fields, the need for methods to predict future links or find missing links in the data has increased. One subset of the methodology used to solve this problem involves ...

The goal of the present study was to characterize the event-level severity and time course of hangover as it occurs naturalistically. Hangover symptoms were studied in a community sample of 402 adult regular drinkers (mean ...

Sensitivity to the effects of alcohol has long been studied as a risk factor for developing an alcohol use disorder. Several theories exist regarding the profile of subjective responses that constitute the highest risk: ...

Cognitive psychologists often debate whether cognitive processes such as recognition memory and visual perception are better described as continuous or discrete. Much of the literature is dominated by continuous latent-strength ...

In the current study we used a national survey of child psychiatrists to examine typical prescribing practices for children with anxiety, depression, and disruptive behavior disorders from a social judgment theory perspective. ...

Working memory (WM) capacity limit has been extensively studied in the domains of visual and verbal stimuli. The previous studies have suggested a constant WM capacity of typically about 3 or 4 items, based on the number ...

There is extensive debate over whether children's mathematical learning difficulties are the result of deficits in the inherent system for nonsymbolic representations of quantity or in their ease of learning quantitative ...

Episodic retrieval is the process of bringing information about a past experience from memory into conscious awareness. Variation in the retrieval process, in regard to content and quality of the information retrieved, is ...

Object switch costs have been taken to index items in the focus of attention (e.g., Oberauer, 2005). They refer to savings in reaction time (RT) when a target object to which a response must be made is the same as the ...

This research has explored the development of auditory working memory capacity and precision in children and adults. Very little is known about the capacity limits of auditory working memory, and even less is known about ...

This study investigated the economic benefits of an intensive family-based treatment (multisystemic therapy, MST) versus individual therapy (IT) using arrest data from 25-year follow-ups of referred serious and violent ...

Whereas memory for individual items stays relatively intact with age, associative memory, (e.g., memory for pairs of items), seems to show a noticeable decline (what is known as older adults� associative memory deficit). ...

Using social domain theory (Smetana, 2013; Turiel, 2002), the present study examines the patterns of disclosure within and across emerging adults' sibling, friend, and romantic relationships, as well as associations between ...

It is well established that a weak lead stimulus will inhibit the startle response to a more intense subsequent stimulus, given an appropriate lead time (i.e. 80-400 ms). This effect is termed prepulse inhibition (PPI), ...

Stimulus-preceding negativity (SPN), an ERP component that reflects the anticipation of feedback and other motivationally salient stimuli, has been proposed to play an important role in reinforcement learning. However, the ...
