The contrasting age-related trends on laboratory and naturalistic prospective memory (PM) studies were investigated with the same participants. In the first two experiments, 380 participants in three age groups (20s, 60s, and 80+) were given a naturalistic PM task of logging the time at four set times for one week. There were six between-subjects regimens that varied the complexity of the time ...

This paper reports on a review of a number of well-known naturalistic decision making. NDM, models (Zsambok & Klein, 1997). Key features of these models were identified and were found to represent different views of the same naturalistic decision making process. The key features of these different views were then integrated into a single model called the Integrated Decision Model. To validate t...

The field of neuroscience is fast emerging with the various types intelligence becoming critical to overall wellbeing an individual. aim this study understand relationship between fingerprint patterns and multiple among young adults (18-26 years) in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Anambra state. Two hundred forty one subjects were enlisted study, comprising 140 females (58.1%) 101 males (41.9%). Eac...

Significant progress has been made in automatic facial expression analysis using facial images and videos. The recognition reliability of most current approaches is still poor in naturalistic expressions compared to acted ones. Most of these methods use a static image of each expression that captures the characteristic image at the apex. However, according to psychologists, analyzing a sequence...

Researchers have been incorporating ambulatory cortisol sampling into studies of everyday life for over a decade. Such work provides an important supplement to acute laboratory stress paradigms and provides a novel perspective on the interrelationships between stress, psychological resources, and health. However, the results of many field studies have been inconclusive and more studies have bee...

Large naturalistic driving studies give extremely detailed insight into how traffic accidents happen and what causes them. However, even in very large studies there are only relatively few crashes. Hence one additionally selects and studies crash surrogates, so called "near-crashes", i.e. situations when a crash almost happened. The selection procedures invariably entail severe risks of causing...

T theory, research and practice of naturalistic hypnosis and happiness is explored with the current STEM perspectives of science, technology engineering, and mathematics. The quantum electrodynamic field theory of naturalistic hypnosis was presented at the first meeting of The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH)that coincided with the founding of The American Journal of Clinical Hypnos...

In this paper we present and qualitatively analyze an expert driver's gaze behavior in natural driving on a real road, with no specific experimental task or instruction. Previous eye tracking research on naturalistic tasks has revealed recurring patterns of gaze behavior that are surprisingly regular and repeatable. Lappi (2016) identified in the literature seven "qualitative laws of gaze behav...

The influence of emotion on (the early stages of) speech production processes, notably content selection has received little scholarly attention. Goudbeek & Krahmer (2012) found evidence for alignment at the conceptual level: speakers may start using a dispreferred attribute over a preferred attribute in their referring expressions when they are primed by a prerecorded female voice in a precedi...

Ethical core issues in research with human subjects are related to informed consent and risk-benefit assessment. This is valid for all types of studies. However, there has been much greater focus of ethical considerations on controlled clinical trials than on naturalistic trials, probably because the former are interventional in nature and may have unknown and perhaps severe somatic risks, wher...
