Previous research has shown that inertial cues resulting from passive transport through a large environment do not necessarily facilitate acquiring knowledge about its layout. Here we examine whether the additional body-based cues that result from active movement facilitate the acquisition of spatial knowledge. Three groups of participants learned locations along an 840-m route. One group walke...

OBJECTIVE The study investigated the impact of thin idealized images of women as presented in music television, a popular form of entertainment for young people. METHODS A sample of 84 women viewed a videotape containing either appearance music videos (which emphasized appearance and featured thin and attractive women) or non-appearance music videos. The instructional set was also manipulated...

Videos with rich social and emotional content elicit natural social behaviors in primates. Indeed, while watching videos of conspecifics, monkeys engage in eye contact, gaze follow, and reciprocate facial expressions. We hypothesized that the frequency and timing of eyeblinks also depends on the social signals contained in videos. We monitored the eyeblinks of four male adult macaques while the...

BACKGROUND As the most popular video sharing website in the world, YouTube has the potential to reach and influence a huge audience. This study aims to gain a systematic understanding of what e-cigarette messages people are being exposed to on YouTube by assessing the quantity, portrayal and reach of e-cigarette videos. METHODS Researchers identified the top 20 search results on YouTube by re...

Nonwoven geotextiles are commonly used in filtration applications. For some applications, however, a nonwoven geotextile filter may not have the required mechanical properties to withstand deformations, and an additional woven geotextile is usually employed in design. While reinforcement is an important function expected from these two-layer geotextile systems, filtration is another function th...

Medical education has seen huge advances with regard to innovation and a focus more on active rather than passive forms of learning. Videos, for example are being utilized to supplement learning, yet remain a self-directed platform either online or via conference attendance. Video learning is essential in the procedural aspect of EUS yet to be successful it must rely on appropriate training met...

596 All Rights Reserved © 2013 IJARECE Abstract — Unlike text, videos are difficult to analyze. For the analysis of videos these videos should be divided into different shots, by determining the shot boundaries[12]. This division of the videos is termed as Video shot-boundary detection (VSBD), which is useful for various different purposes like editing, indexing, mixing, etc[5]. This detection ...

The present study investigated whether and how beat gesture (small baton-like hand movements used to emphasize information in speech) influences semantic processing as well as its interaction with pitch accent during speech comprehension. Event-related potentials were recorded as participants watched videos of a person gesturing and speaking simultaneously. The critical words in the spoken sent...

Study goals were to explore whether children clustered into groups based on reactions to witnessing bullying and to examine whether these reactions predicted bullying intervention. Seventy-nine children (M = 10.80 years) watched bullying videos in the laboratory while their heart rate (HR) was measured, and they self-reported on negative emotion after each video. Bullying intervention was asses...
