Research investigating the role of maladaptive emotion regulation (ER) on food intake has exclusively focused on food intake in a forced consumption situation. In contrast, the present study examined the effect of negative emotions (fear, negative affect) and ER strategies (suppression, reappraisal) on food intake in a non-forced, free eating setting where participants (N = 165) could choose wh...

Children's descriptions of clothing placement and touching with respect to clothing are central to assessing child sexual abuse allegations. This study examined children's ability to answer the types of questions attorneys and interviewers typically ask about clothing, using the most common spatial terms (on/off, outside/inside, over/under). Ninety-seven 3- to 6-year-olds were asked yes/no (e.g...

OBJECTIVE To determine associations between admission markers of socioeconomic status, transitioning, bridging programme attendance and prior academic preparation on academic outcomes for indigenous Māori, Pacific and rural students admitted into medicine under access pathways designed to widen participation. Findings were compared with students admitted via the general (usual) admission pathwa...

Six unfamiliar foods were introduced to children (8-11 years old, n=72) who responded (yes/no) to questions as to whether they (1) had earlier seen, (2) had earlier tasted, (3) were willing to try, and (4) actually tried each food when given the opportunity. Pleasantness (if not tasted, expected pleasantness) of the foods was also rated. Children who wanted to try a food and tasted it, rated it...

QUESTIONS What is the physical ability of very old people? Is physical ability affected by age or sex? Is it affected by type of housing, level of independence in activities of daily living, cognition, or nutrition? DESIGN A population-based cross-sectional observational study. PARTICIPANTS Half the 85-year-old population, and the total population aged 90 and = 95 (range 95-103) in Umea, Sw...

The aim of this paper is to determine the pitch contours Finns use when uttering yes/no questions in Russian. In addition, the pitch contours will be compared to native speech as well as subjected to native speaker evaluation. So far, there has been very little research on the prosody of Russian as a second language. L1 Finnish students are an interesting group to study because intonation in Fi...

This paper investigates interrogative intonation in North Kyeongsang Korean, a pitch accent language making use of final particles. A production study shows that yes/no questions do not have rising intonation, in contrast to impressionistic observations in the literature. Moreover, a perception study shows that the perceptual distinction between yes/no questions and statements is fairly sharp, ...

Previous aging and cueing studies suggest that automatic orienting driven by peripheral cues is preserved with aging; however, inconsistencies can be found. One issue might be the use of response times (RT) to assess cueing effects (invalid RT--valid RT), which, in many cases, may not have clear quantitative predictions. We propose an ideal observer (IO) analysis of accuracy estimating particip...

Attention as a serial contiguous spotlight has met challenges from parallel-noisy models and evidence that attention can split across multiple locations. To assess this question, this study compared the dynamics at cued and uncued locations during a cueing task through response classification. Four observers performed a yes/no contrast discrimination of Gabors appearing at two locations, with s...

In the HTML version of this Article, there is an error in Table. 1 " Structure-activity relationship of Btk inhibitors. " should read: " Mean Reaction Times (ms) and SE (in italics) for cued and uncued trials as a function of response (yes/no) and congruency between first shape and target (congruent= same shape incongruent= different shape) in the three experiments.
