Interpersonal coordination, such as simultaneous rhythmic movement, is a fundamental way to form socioemotional connections. The social and emotional power of music might further strengthen such interpersonal bonds. Here, we tested if interpersonal synchronization (synchronous vs. asynchronous finger-tapping) affects sympathy and helpfulness more strongly when listening to music compared to a m...

In a robust parameter design (RPD) problem, the experimenter is interested to determine the values of con-trol factors such that responses will be robust or insensitive to variability of the noise factors. Response sur-face methodology (RSM) is one of the effective methods that can be employed for this purpose. Since quality of products or processes is usually evaluated through several quality ...

In many life-testing and reliability studies, the experimenter might not always obtain complete information on failure times for all experimental units. One of the most common censoring schemes is progressive type-II censoring. The aim of this paper is characterizing the parent distributions based on Shannon entropy of progressive type-II censored order statistics. It is shown that the equality...

Inequity aversion has been proposed to act as a limiting factor for cooperation, thus preventing subjects from disadvantageous cooperative interactions. While a recent study revealed that also dogs show some sensitivity to inequity, the underlying mechanisms of this behaviour are still unclear. The aim of the current study was threefold: 1) to replicate the study by Range et al. (2009, PNAS, 10...

A key aspect of theory of mind is the ability to reason about other people's desires. As adults, we know that desires and preferences are subjective and specific to the individual. However, research in cognitive development suggests that a significant conceptual shift occurs in desire-based reasoning between 14 and 18 months of age, allowing 18but not 14month-olds to understand that different p...

La journee d’etudes « Transmettre, experimenter, eprouver l’enquete de terrain », que nous avons co-organisee, initialement prevue en juin 2020 a l’universite Paris 8, s’est finalement tenue visioconference le 27 novembre. Son objectif n’etait ni definir « bonnes pratiques », un « nouveau guide terrain » (Beaud & Weber, 1997), mais comparer des situations d’enseignement et d’apprentissage terra...

Abstract We contemplate an experimental situation in a 2 k -factorial experiment with acute resource crunch so that we need to conduct just saturated design [SD] - the understanding precision of estimates cannot be estimated from data. It is known beforehand which effect(s)/interaction(s) are likely negligible. examine flexibility extent experimenter can make choice SD order retain information ...

This study analyzed the effect of confidence in experimenter on performance a group Costa Rican preschoolers self-control. In addition, socioeconomic status marshmallow task was by comparison children from both different schools (public vs private) and contexts within each school. The sample participants 67 (26 girls, M age = 63 months, SD 6.03). Effects were found, socio-economic implications ...

a r t i c l e i n f o Working memory span tasks are popular measures, in part, because performance on these tasks predicts performance on other measures of cognitive ability. The traditional method of span-task administration is the experimenter-paced version, whose reliability and validity have been repeatedly demonstrated. However, computer-paced span tasks are becoming increasingly more popu...

Marijuana is a prevalent illicit substance used by adolescents, and several studies have indicated that adolescent use can lead to long-term cognitive deficits including problems with attention and memory. However, preclinical animal studies that observe cognitive deficits after cannabinoid exposure during adolescence utilize experimenter administration of doses of cannabinoids that may exceed ...
