This meta-analysis addresses the question of whether 1 general cognitive ability measure developed for predicting academic performance is valid for predicting performance in both educational and work domains. The validity of the Miller Analogies Test (MAT; W. S. Miller, 1960) for predicting 18 academic and work-related criteria was examined. MAT correlations with other cognitive tests (e.g., Ra...

AIM To test a theory of visual stress by investigating the inter-relationships between (1) the threshold contrast/saturation at which individuals first report discomfort when viewing colored gratings of progressively increasing contrast and decreasing saturation; (2) the choice of a colored overlay for reading; (3) any increase in reading speed when the overlay is used. METHOD Ninety-five you...

We study complex networks in which the nodes are tagged with different colors depending on their function (colored graphs), using information theory applied to the distribution of motifs in such networks. We find that colored motifs can be viewed as the building blocks of the networks (much more than the uncolored structural motifs can be) and that the relative frequency with which these motifs...

How are color preferences formed, and can they be changed by affective experiences with correspondingly colored objects? We examined these questions by testing whether affectively polarized experiences with images of colored objects would cause changes in color preferences. Such changes are implied by the ecological valence theory (EVT), which posits that color preferences are determined by peo...

The relationship between color and perceived depth for realistic, colored objects with varying shading was explored. Background: Studies have shown that warm-colored stimuli tend to appear nearer in depth than cool-colored stimuli. The majority of these studies asked human observers to view physically equidistant, colored stimuli and compare them for relative depth. However, in most cases, the ...

Evanescent wave spectroscopy using thin optically transparent electrodes and multiple reflections allows unique observations of the electrochemical interphase since the region of solution sampled is typically 100 nm from the electrode in the visible spectral region. This technique is found to be highly sensitive to the presence of absorbing adsorbed species

Regular edge-colored graphs encode colored triangulations of pseudo-manifolds. Here we study families of edge-colored graphs built from a finite but arbitrary set of building blocks, which extend the notion of p-angulations to arbitrary dimensions. We prove the existence of a bijection between any such family and some colored combinatorial maps which we call stuffed Walsh maps. Those maps gener...

The associative sequence learning (ASL) model states that error patterns in observed actions during physical imitation and verbal description are identical, because of the critical role played by the process of visual input compared to the process after visual input. Action models were presented that comprised four elements: using right or left hand, using right or left stick, tapping right or ...

Zero forcing is a dynamic graph coloring process whereby a colored vertex with a single uncolored neighbor forces that neighbor to be colored. This forcing process has been used to approximate certain linear algebraic parameters, as well as to model the spread of diseases and information in social networks. In this paper, we introduce and study the connected forcing process – a restriction of z...

Let C be a family of edge-colored graphs. A t-edge colored graph G is (C, t)saturated if G does not contain any graph in C but the addition of any edge in any color in [t] creates a copy of some graph in C. Similarly to classical saturation functions, define satt(n, C) to be the minimum number of edges in a (C, t) saturated graph. Let Cr(H) be the family consisting of every edge-colored copy of...
