Differential effects of negative and positive affect on context processing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
to the first study, the second and third studies found evidence that briefly elicited negative affect increased errors on context processing tasks. Conversely, positive affect did not have a significant effect on context processing performance. Overall...
The psychology of individual differences

Text from page 1: "Although the subject of individual differences is comparatively new from the standpoint of experimental treatment, it is a theme which has been pondered over many times in practical life, from the very beginning of time. Whenever...
Motivation for smoking and smoking cessation : a self-determination theory investigation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
and cessation behavior within nicotine dependence. Specifically, it aims to create two motives measures for smoking and quitting based on Self-determination Theory that can be used in conjunction with existing measures to examine two components...
Disentangling alcohol-specific alcohol use disorder criteria from externalizing psychopathology using an empirically driven approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
analytic procedure, combinatorial optimization. First, we identified AUD symptom sets based on standard and alcohol-specific consumption measures. The symptom sets were then compared to existing diagnostic measures and AUD correlates to determine whether...
Two brief treatments based on dialectical behavior therapy for binge eating across diagnoses and thresholds : results from a preliminary randomized dismantling study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
the efficacy of two brief treatments based on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for binge eating, be it in the context of full- or sub-threshold BN or full or sub-threshold BED. Participants were randomly assigned to either group DBT with coaching calls (DBT...
Maintaining cross-domain objects and features in working memory : implications for storage in models of working memory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
A great deal of evidence, both from behavioral studies of cross-domain interference and from neuroimaging, suggests the need for a domain-general store in models of working memory. Baddeley included such a store in an updated version...
The influence of race on behavior and the neural correlates of expectancy during an economic decision game
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
races while EEG was recorded. I predicted that negative stereotype-based expectancies of Black players would cause participants to be more trusting of White than Black players, and also that these expectancies would be evident in the event...
The effects of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) treatement on nonverbal working memory-related brain activations and connectivity in individuals with phenylketonuria
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Previous research suggests that phenylketonuria (PKU) is associated with disruptions in structural and functional connectivity that may contribute to ...
Testosterone and cortisol in coalitional competition

Fourteen teams of three young men competed in within-group and between-group videogame tournaments. Salivary cortisol and testosterone levels were assessed twice before and twice after each tournament, along with intelligence, ...
School-aged children's awareness of their own working memory contents

of estimating the number of items (k) an individual must have in mind based on their performance on some cognitive task. In the present research one such formula is used to obtain a typical estimate for a visual array task in which multiple colored squares must...
Broadening the perspective on employee absenteeism : the effects of work group and nonwork factors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
unsuccessful in predicting significant amounts of variance, several findings were noteworthy. Evidence indicates that distinctions between absence measures were important: Job satisfaction was significantly correlated only with the total absence hours measure...
A hierarchical Bayesian analysis of multiple order constraints in behavioral science
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
not; and a model where all people show an effect. I provide a Bayesian model-comparison approach to quantify evidence for these theoretically motivated models. And, finally, I show how the modeling approach can be applied both in a single...
Working memory availability and quality control in children's production of passive sentences as novices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
-focused theories of language growth. We seek to add evidence to the cognitive view of language growth, by focusing on differences in WM availability. Much of the previous research linking WM and language development have been correlational. We examine how...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) has traditionally been viewed as a chronic, progressive, relapsing disorder (Jellinek, 1960; National Institute on Drug ...
Eye-tracking investigations of lexical ambiguity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
The visual world paradigm was used to investigate the time course of ambiguity resolution. Typically, the visual stimuli consisted of one picture that was semantically related to the dominant meaning of an ambiguous word, ...
A bayesian investigation into inhibition mechanisms of contrast and assimilation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The ability to inhibit distractors within an environment while focusing on specific information is crucial to proper functioning. In most inhibition ...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
of condition on recency, or evidence against such an effect, post-hoc analysis was able to demonstrate that many participants responded in a unique way to the STM test, with the unique pattern predicting success for this test. As such, we conclude...
