Analysis of MEG as Related to Spatial Transformation and Top-Down Control of Saccade Behavior
Tate, Lindsey (2016-08)Preparatory brain activity can provide insight into goal-oriented action and inhibitory processes related to both motor and cognition. In the current study participants performed an interleaved prosaccade (PS) and antisaccade ... -
Components of episodic memory: connecting human behavior and electrophysiology to a rodent model
De Stefano, Lisa (2017-07)Episodic memory encoding and retrieval rely on integration of information about what an item was, as well as when and where it was encountered. Previous research from animal lesion studies using a novelty preference ... -
Discovering Accessible Data Visualizations for People with ADHD
Tran, Tien (2024-05-10)There have been many studies on understanding effective data visualizations regarding general users. However, we have a limited understanding on how people with ADHD comprehend data visualizations and how it might differ ... -
The Effect of Iron Fortification of Lentils on Blood and Cognitive Status among Adolescent Girls in Bangladesh
Barnett, Amy (2022-08)Iron deficiency is the world’s most common nutrient deficiency according to the World Health Organization. Iron deficiency is especially prevalent in undeveloped countries and rural areas. A double-blind, cluster-randomized ... -
Effects of Age, Gender, and Genotype on Auditory Processing in Phelan-McDermid Syndrome
Reese, Melody (2019-05-10)Phelan-McDermid Syndrome (PMS) is a rare genetic condition characterized by deletion or mutation of region 22q13.3, which includes the SHANK3 gene. This population is clinically defined as having mildly dysmorphic features, ... -
Elevated Spontaneous Blink Rate in Fragile X Syndrome Implicates Abnormal Dopaminergic Activity in FXS Pathophysiology
Woodruff, Nicholas (2019-12-13)Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is the most common, single-gene cause of heritable Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID). FXS is characterized by sensory hypersensitivity, repetitive behaviors, anxiety, ... -
Emotional Attention Bias and Pupillometry Biomarkers as Mediators of Caregiving Effectiveness on Child Behavior
Norris, Jordan (2022-05)Early life adversity experienced during childhood and adolescence negatively impacts development with increased risk of poor health outcomes and early mortality, making child maltreatment a significant public health concern. ... -
Experiences of Social Isolation in Rural Communities: A Multidisciplinary Approach
Arledge, Brenna (2024-05-10)Rural communities often struggle due to a lack of funding, resources, and support, which can put residents at risk for adverse experiences. Merely living within a rural area is considered an influential contributing risk ... -
Exploring the Costs and Benefits of Collaboration
Becerra, Jessica (2021)When people are asked to recall an event on multiple occasions (e.g., comparing the details reported in an initial eyewitness interview to what an eyewitness later reports at trial), it is likely that discrepancies in ... -
Formative and reflexive parameter bias under instances of continuous partial measurement noninvariance before and after item purification using the multiple indicator multiple causes model
Rosen, Adon (2022-08-04)The multiple indicator multiple causes (MIMIC) model has been proposed as a powerful technique for the identification of partial measurement noninvariance (pMnI). Typically MI has been explored by comparing response patterns ... -
Independent Evaluation of the Harvard Automated Processing Pipeline for Electroencephalography using Multi-Site EEG Data from Children with Fragile X Syndrome
Auger, Emma (2020)The Harvard Automatic Processing Pipeline for Electroencephalography (HAPPE) in conjunction with The Batch Electroencephalography Automatic Processing Platform (BEAPP) is a computerized EEG data processing pipeline ... -
Neural Correlates of Self-Perception in Individuals who Vary in Social Engagement
McKinzie, Sarah (2016-08)Electroencephalography (EEG) studies indicate a reduced or absent self-preference effect for faces in individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The current study extends these findings to individuals below ... -
The Pattern Electroretinogram as an Indirect Measure of Dopaminergic Status in Iron Deficiency
Newbolds, Sarah (2023-08-04)Animal studies have suggested that iron deficiency negatively affects dopamine (DA) synthesis and reuptake, which in turn negatively affects memory and cognition. However, the literature on the possible relationships among ... -
A Simulation Study Comparing the Use of Supervised Machine Learning Variable Selection Methods in the Psychological Sciences
Bain, Catherine (2022)When specifying a predictive model for classification, variable selection (or subset selection) is one of the most important steps for researchers to consider. Reducing the necessary number of variables in a prediction ...
