Five experiments were conducted to investigate a proposal by Butler, Kang, and Roediger (2009) that congruity (or fit) between target items and processing tasks might contribute, at least partly, to the mnemonic advantages typically produced by survival processing. In their research, no significant survival advantages were found when words were preselected to be highly congruent or incongruent ...

The present study investigates how the user state of presence is affected by contingencies in design virtual environments. theoretical framework congruity herein explicated, which builds upon concept plausibility illusion as one essential prerequisites for presence, and systematically explains predicts terms alignment between schemata user’s memory stimuli presented within environment.

Abstract An abundance of literature has examined barriers to women’s equitable representation in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, with many studies demonstrating that STEM fields are not perceived afford communal goals, a key component interest future careers. Using Goal Congruity Theory as framework, we tested the longitudinal impact perceptions career goal affordances...

Talar head fractures are rare injuries. We present a 26-year-old man with malunion of the talar head. The displaced fracture was initially neglected. The patient was treated with osteotomy and bone grafting to improve the congruity and movement of the talonavicular joint. Three months after surgery, he returned to his pre-injury activity level with no disability.

Like other contributions to this volume, the present paper reflects an early stage of a research project, and, as a consequence, is largely programmatic. The question I address here and the hypotheses I put forth do not directly concern the definition of manipulation. Assuming the working definition of manipulation proposed by Rigotti (this volume) 1 I consider the application to the study of m...
