Into the unknown: head-based selection is less dependent on peripheral information than gaze-based selection in 360-degree virtual reality scenes
Authors: Jacobs Oliver , Anderson Nicola C , Bischof Walter F. , Kingstone Alan
Published: August 2020

People naturally move both their head and eyes to attend to information. Yet, little is known about how the head and eyes coordinate in attentional selection due to the relative sparsity of past work that has simultaneously measured head and gaze behaviour. In the present study, participants were asked to view fully immersive 360-degree scenes using a virtual reality headset with built-in eye tracking. Participants viewed these scenes through a small moving window that was yoked either to their head or gaze movements. We found that limiting peripheral information via the head- or gaze-contingent windows affected head and gaze movements differently. Compared with free viewing, gaze-contingent viewing was more disruptive than head-contingent viewing, indicating that gaze-based selection is more reliant on peripheral information than head-based selection. These data dovetail with the nested effectors hypothesis, which proposes that people prefer to use their head for exploration into non-visible space while using their eyes to exploit visible or semi-visible areas of space. This suggests that real-world orienting may be more head-based than previously thought. Our work also highlights the utility, ecological validity, and future potential of unconstrained head and eye tracking in virtual reality.
MAXIMAL CLIQUE AND GRAPH COLORING HEURISTICS FOR OVERLAPPING COMMUNITY DETECTION IN NETWORK PSYCHOMETRICS
Authors: Brusco Michael , Steinley Douglas , Watts Ashley L.
Published: August 2020

Community detection is an important aspect of network psychometrics. An inherent limitation of popular methods such as the walktrap and spin glass algorithms is that they do not allow vertices (e.g., symptoms) to have membership in more than one community. Clique percolation remedies this limitation by allowing overlapping communities. However, clique percolation does not necessarily produce solutions in accordance with the standard definition of ‘community’ (i.e., a dense subgraph of the network), often fails to assign all vertices to at least one community, and presents formidable model selection challenges. In this paper, we present two new heuristics for overlapping community detection that are less prone to these problems. The first heuristic assembles communities using maximal cliques, whereas the second produces the communities using cliques identified from colorings of the network graph. Four psychological networks from the literature are used to demonstrate the new heuristics. The results indicate that both heuristics produce communities of dense subgraphs in accordance with the traditional definition of a community and tend to assign all (or almost all) vertices to a community.
Addressing COVID-19 Worry and Social Isolation in Home-Based Primary Care
Authors: Weiskittle Rachel Elizabeth , Mlinac Michelle , Nicole Downing LICSW
Published: August 2020

Social distancing measures following the outbreak of COVID-19 have led to a rapid shift to virtual and telephone care. Social workers and mental health providers in VA home-based primary care (HBPC) teams face challenges providing psychosocial support to their homebound, medically complex, socially isolated patient population who are high risk for poor health outcomes related to COVID-19. We developed and disseminated an 8-week telephone or virtual group intervention for front-line HBPC social workers and mental health providers to use with socially isolated, medically complex older adults. The intervention draws on skills from evidence-based psychotherapies for older adults including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Problem-Solving Therapy. The manual was disseminated to VA HBPC clinicians and geriatrics providers across the United States in March 2020 for expeditious implementation. Eighteen HBPC teams and three VA Primary Care teams reported immediate delivery of a local virtual or telephone group using the manual. In this paper we describe the manual’s development and clinical recommendations for its application across geriatric care settings. Future evaluation will identify ways to meet longer-term social isolation and evolving mental health needs for this patient population as the pandemic continues.
Unravelling the phenotypic tangle of autistic, schizotypal and social anxiety traits: A Network Analysis
Authors: Zavlis Orestis , Jones Myles
Published: August 2020

The current paper investigates the interactions and factor structure of autistic, schizotypal, and social anxiety personality traits through the lens of a network model. An Exploratory Graph Analysis (EGA) on a network of these traits revealed three communities (or factors), of which two were mixed (autistic and schizotypal phenotypes) and one was ‘pure’ (social anxiety). A Network Analysis (NA) revealed several central traits that collectively reflected the social and interpersonal impairments of the three disorders. The current results suggest that a combination of recent network- and traditional factor-analytic techniques may present a fruitful approach to understanding the underlying structure as well as relation of different psychopathologies.
Data Quality and Reliability Metrics for Event-Related Potentials (ERPs): The Utility of Subject-Level Reliability
Authors: Clayson Peter E , Brush Christopher John , Hajcak Greg
Published: August 2020

Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) represent direct measures of neural activity that are leveraged to understand cognitive, affective, sensory, and motor processes. Every ERP researcher encounters the obstacle of determining whether measurements are precise or psychometrically reliable enough for an intended purpose. In this primer, we review three types of measurements metrics: data quality, group-level internal consistency, and subject-level internal consistency. Data quality estimates characterize the precision of ERP scores but provide no inherent information about whether scores are precise enough for examining individual differences. Group-level internal consistency characterizes the ratio of between-person differences to the precision of those scores, and provides a single reliability estimate for an entire group of participants that risks masking low reliability for some individuals. Subject-level internal consistency considers the precision of an ERP score for a person relative to between-person differences for a group, and an estimate is yielded for each individual. We apply each metric to published error-related negativity (ERN) and reward positivity (RewP) data and demonstrate how failing to consider data quality and internal consistency can undermine statistical inferences. We conclude with general comments on how these estimates may be used to improve measurement quality and methodological transparency. Subject-level internal consistency computation is implemented within the ERP Reliability Analysis (ERA) Toolbox.

Published: August 2020

Objective: While HIV disease is associated with declarative memory impairment, the ability of people with HIV (PWH) to describe past and future autobiographical events is not known. The constructive episodic simulation hypothesis asserts that one’s ability to imagine future autobiographical events relies on the construction of details from past autobiographical memories and plays a role in adaptive behavior. Method: Participants included 63 PWH and 28 seronegative individuals ages 50 and older who completed standardized neurocognitive and everyday functioning assessments. Participants described four events from the recent past and four imagined events in the near future, details from which were classified as internal or external to the main event. Results: PWH produced fewer autobiographical details with a small-to-medium effect sizes, but did not differ from seronegative participants in meta-cognitive ratings of their performance. The study groups did not vary across past or future probes or internal versus external details; however, within the entire sample, past events were described in greater detail than future events, and more external than internal details were produced. Within PWH, the production of fewer internal details for future events was moderately associated with poorer prospective memory, executive dysfunction, and errors on a laboratory-based task of medication management. Conclusions: Older PWH may experience difficulty generating autobiographical details from the past and simulated events in the future, which may be related to executive dyscontrol of memory processes. Future studies might examine the role of these deficits in health behaviors such as medication adherence and retention in healthcare.
Consciousness can overflow report: novel evidence from attribute amnesia of a single stimulus

Published: August 2020

Subjective report has been used as a measurement of consciousness. However, we usually experience seeing much more than what can be reported. This relates to a long-standing controversy regarding the nature of visual consciousness; that is, whether it is confined to cognitive access and can be directly measured by reportability, or whether it is rich and overflows report. Most debate previously concentrated on the unattended information, but acquiesced that information under attentional focus would reach consciousness and be reportable. This study sought to further address the debate from a new perspective, through directly testing whether fully attended supraliminal information is necessarily reportable with a variant of attribute amnesia. Participants were asked to judge the parity of a single number (Experiments 1 & 3) or whether a Chinese character referred to furniture (Experiments 2 & 4). After several trials, they were unexpectedly asked to report the target identity. The results consistently showed that participants could not correctly report the target identity, indicating that fully attended information that was consciously perceived could sometimes overflow report. These findings not only provide novel evidence for the overflow argument, but also have crucial implications in the relationship between consciousness and working memory.
Second-guessing of Spinoza: Psychophysiological and behavioral evidence that believing is default during proposition comprehension

Published: August 2020

The belief-default model contends that believing is inexorable during comprehension, and falsification is a subsequent, secondary process. By contrast, the Cartesian belief-fixation model argues that naïve propositions may be mentally represented without a truth or falsity stance. In the present research, data from four studies help adjudicate belief-fixation models, favoring the belief-default model: Studies 1-3 show that newly represented propositions are initially believed as the consequences of the truth from a naïve represented proposition will automatically activate contradictory mental information even when this processing impairs task performance (a “false” false alarm belief bias). Naïve propositions cannot be “merely” represented (without a truth stance) during comprehension. Studies 3 and 4 reveal unique electrodermal activity signals corresponding to propositions considered to be either true or false. We argue that the observed autonomic reactivity constitutes the source of two different epistemic emotions associated with the perceived outcomes of a memory search (i.e., “aha” and wrongness, respectively). To account for the psychophysiological results, we hypothesize that the epistemic emotion of familiarity is substantiated by an “aha” emotion which signals the recovery of represented propositions considered true during mnemonic processing. In addition, we show that anti-belief-default conclusions from recent investigations using multinomial processing tree modeling are tenuous as they depend on the type of false information paradigm employed. In sum, the data support the belief-default model and indicate a novel psychophysiological method to distinguish “believed” memory retrieval products from “guessed” responses derived via metacognitive strategies during veridical identification.
A Modified Approach to Fitting Relative Importance Networks
Authors: Brusco Michael , Steinley Douglas
Published: August 2020

Relative importance networks have played an important role in network psychometrics because they enable researchers to examine directional relationships among items. Most researchers have estimated the network edge weights using a well-established measure of general dominance for multiple regression and we recommend continuation of this practice. However, we recommend a modified approach that uses best-subsets regression as a preceding step to select an appropriate subset of predictors for each item. The benefits of this modified approach include: (1) a principled approach to edge selection for the relative importance network that reduces overfitting, (2) greater explained variation for scale items in comparison to the cutting of complete graphs (3) a signed network is possible if desired, and (4) potential generalization for logistic regression in the case of binary measurements. We describe and demonstrate the proposed approach and discuss its strengths and limitations.
Prospective Memory and Spontaneous Compensatory Mnemonic Strategy Use in the Laboratory and Daily Life in HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders
Authors: Matchanova Anastasia , Babicz Michelle A. , Johnson Briana , Loft Shayne , Morgan Erin E. , Woods Steven Paul
Published: August 2020

Objective: Older adults with HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) are at high risk for deficits in the resource-demanding, strategic aspects of prospective memory (PM) that can adversely affect health outcomes. This study examined the frequency and correlates of spontaneous compensatory strategy use during a laboratory-based PM task and its associations with the use of mnemonic strategies in daily life. Method: Participants included 53 older adults with HAND, 89 older persons with HIV without HAND, and 62 seronegatives who completed the Cambridge Prospective Memory Test (CAMPROMPT), on which the type, frequency, and quality of their compensatory strategy use was quantified. Participants also completed self-report measures of PM symptoms and the frequency of mnemonic compensatory strategy use in daily life. Results: There were no significant group-level effects on strategy use during the CAMPROMPT. Persons with HAND had significantly lower time-, but not event-based PM scores. Higher compensatory strategy use was strongly associated with better PM, particularly for time-based cues. Moreover, higher compensatory strategy use on the CAMPROMPT was associated with more frequent general mnemonic strategy use in daily life, and specifically with more frequent use of internal PM strategies (e.g., visualization) for medication adherence. Conclusions: Spontaneous compensatory mnemonic strategy use can support PM performance among older adults with HAND in the laboratory, and this strategy use may parallel the use of similar strategies in daily life. Future studies may examine whether compensatory mnemonic strategies can be taught and used to support PM in the daily lives of older persons with HIV disease.

Published: August 2020

Objective: Spaced retrieval practice (SRP) is one of the most replicated and effective mnemonic strategies in the cognitive psychology literature, but its benefits have not yet been realized in healthcare settings. This study used a randomized, between-subjects design to examine the hypothesis that can SRP improve memory for health-related information among clinically-referred persons with HIV (PWH), who often have difficulty acquiring new health knowledge. Method: A consecutive series of 41 PWH referred to a county-funded neuropsychology clinic were enrolled. Participants were randomly assigned to learn four statements about the treatment of a mock health condition in either a massed study control condition (n=20) or an SRP condition (n=21) in which they received two distributed free recall training tests supplemented with self-generation for missed items. The primary outcome was participants’ free recall of the four treatment statements after a 20-min delay filled with non-verbal tests. Results: PWH participants in the SRP condition were four times more likely than controls to recall at least one treatment statement at the 20-minute delay. SRP was not related to post-test recognition or health-related decision-making performance, but was associated with moderately better self-efficacy for decision-making. Conclusions: Findings from this pilot study show the potential of SRP to improve learning and memory for health-related information among PWH in clinic.
The State and Evolution of Communication Research: A Topic Modeling Analysis of 20,000 Journal Article Abstracts from 1918-2015
Authors: Rains Steve , Keating David , Banas John , Richards Adam , Palomares Nik
Published: August 2020

Tremendous growth in the communication discipline during the past century has raised fundamental questions about what it means to study human communication. This project reports an attempt at answering such questions by exploring the themes that animate communication scholarship over time and across journals sponsored by different scholarly organizations. We used topic modeling to examine the abstracts of more than 20,000 articles across 22 journals from their beginnings through 2015. The results offer insights about the state and evolution of communication scholarship. Research has evolved from being predominately focused on pedagogy to examining a wide variety of phenomena that mark an increasingly diverse field. The role of scholarly organizations in contributing to disciplinary fragmentation is considered, as well as the field’s relatively limited focus on underlying and contextually-transcendent processes in favor of specific communication contexts.
CCTV in deprived neighborhoods – a short time follow up of effects on crime and crime clearance
Authors: Gerell Manne
Published: August 2020

The latest meta-study on CCTV found that it was associated with reductions in property crime and narcotics crime, but mainly in parking lots and residential areas. Recent findings from Sweden however suggested that the association of CCTV with crime may be different in deprived neighborhoods in Sweden where criminal networks exert a large influence. In addition, much less research has been done on the impact of CCTV on crime clearance. The present study follows up on this by considering changes in crime, and crime clearance, associated with CCTV in three deprived neighborhoods in Gothenburg. The three neighborhoods had CCTV installed around their main squares/centers in 2018, and changes in recorded crime for seven crime types taking place in public – as well as the share of those crimes where a suspect has been identified is followed. The changes are compared with changes at similar locations in the other six deprived neighborhoods of Gothenburg. The results show that relative to controls, violence was significantly reduced at treatment areas. No significant change was noted for property crime. Crime clearance rates increased at treatment areas relative to controls for both property crimes and violent crimes, but no change was significant. This suggests a need for further study on contextual differences of different locations for CCTV, to ascertain whether the effect on violence in deprived neighborhoods can be replicated. It also raises questions on whether the CCTV is cost-effective, since it appears to have small effects on both crime and crime clearance.

Structure and content of the athletes training program in classical powerlifting at the stage of preparation for higher achievements
Authors: Verbovyi V. , Roztorhui M.
Published: August 2020

The basis for building the training of highly qualified athletes in powerlifting for many years is a jump-like or systematic planning of load components in the structural formations of the training process, characterized by increasing volume and intensity as athletes become skilled. As a result of application of such approach to construction of preparation of sportsmen already at a stage of preparation for higher achievements parameters of volume and intensity of loading reach the maximum possible indicators that causes forcing of sports results and exhausts reserve possibilities of an organism of powerlifters. The purpose of this research is to substantiate the structure and content of the training program for athletes in classical powerlifting at the stage of preparation for higher achievements. To achieve this goal, analogy, analysis, synthesis, abstraction, induction, extrapolation, analysis of best practices were used. Based on the analysis of available scientific knowledge and best practices, the structure and content of the training program for athletes in classical powerlifting at the stage of preparation for higher achievements are substantiated. The author's program is based on the use of a differentiated approach to planning the volume and intensity of the load in different groups of exercises in microcycles, which allows to maintain high levels of load intensity against the background of reducing the amount of load. The use of a differentiated approach to the planning of load components in groups of exercises in microcycles provides a sufficient degree of adaptive shifts in the body of athletes to ensure increased performance of competitive activities and reduce the likelihood of forcing sports results.

The concepts of «health saving competence», «healthy lifestyle», «value for health» and «interactive technologies» have been considered in the article. The problem of formation of health-saving competence of future specialists of information and telecommunication specialties in the process of vocational training by means of physical education at the present stage of development of pedagogical science is characterized.

The importance of comprehensive students’ preparation is revealed, because its level has a significant influence on reducing the period of mastery of the specialty, on the increase of labor productivity, on the increase of professional mobility. In this regard, the socio-economic importance of qualitative training of highly qualified specialists, whose work in the context of modern scientific and technological progress is of particular importance, is increasing.

The problem of research of theoretical and methodological foundations of formation of health-saving competence of future specialists of information and telecommunication technologies in the process of vocational training by means of physical education at the present stage of development of pedagogical science becomes of important scientific educational and social importance.

The list of tasks of higher education institutions, both public and private, include: solving the problem of supporting and strengthening the health of student youth, creating an atmosphere of health saving in the system of their study, providing social and psychological physical and health assistance, i.e. improving the system of measures on implementation and protection of youth rights, which is clearly defined in the Constitution of Ukraine and the Law of Ukraine «On Higher Education».

The important pre-experimental stage of the research is the difference among the concepts of “professional training”, “professional competence”, “professional preparedness”, “professional (personal) maturity” and “professional skill” in the projection on characteristics of the student's personality, and also the identification of psychological, sociometric and personal data of pupils who will later correct the course of the educational experiment in reference groups. The purpose is to provide theoretical and methodological prove of the current state of pedagogical skills development of future physical education teachers in the process of professional training. The sociological survey, conducted among students and teachers of Mykhailo Kotsyubynskyi Vinnytsia State Pedagogical University for the key question “Which teacher have pedagogical skills?”, made it possible to distinguish several dominants that are expressed by such concepts: knowledge, skills, abilities, experience, extraordinary, approach, personality, development and own example. However, the results of the recording stage of the experiment showed a low level of pedagogical skills development of a future physical education teacher. A number of shortcomings were identified that complicates the pedagogical skills development of a future physical education teacher, including a slight connection between theory and practice; theoretical training of students isn’t interactive; traditional methods of study at HEI; a limited number of manuals and methodological recommendations for highlighting the importance of developing the pedagogical skills of a future physical education teacher and its impact on professional activities; a small number of tasks aimed at developing this personal characteristic. This causes the need to determine and substantiate the pedagogical conditions for the pedagogical skills development of a future physical education teacher, the development of a model.

Authors: Forostian Olha , Terzi Pylyp
Published: August 2020

The current trend in education in Ukraine is the transition from the education of children with special educational needs in the system of special education to inclusive education in secondary schools. Under such conditions, there is a need to revise, re- evaluate and rethink the methods and techniques of teaching children with hearing impairments in accordance with modern requirements. Mastering the techniques of ball possession can be a powerful tool for correcting and improving coordination of movements in children with hearing loss. Therefore, the methods of teaching children with hearing impairments physical exercises that can be used by the teacher in inclusive classes in physical education classes need to be revised and adapted.

The aim of our study is to find an effective combination of different visual aids in teaching children with hearing impairments technical actions in football. It was found that for children with persistent hearing impairments, the use of demonstration and demonstration is insufficient in learning motor actions, and the possibility of using verbal teaching methods is limited. Instead, not only the physical education of the teacher, but also the written speech acquires special significance for this contingent of children. The training method developed by us involves the use of specially designed posters describing the technique of performing elements of football and illustrations of each phase of motor action has shown high efficiency. The described method of teaching technical actions in football for children with hearing impairments and the criteria for evaluating some control exercises can be applied by coaches and physical education teachers working in inclusive classes.

The purpose of our study is to find an effective combination of different methods of visual education of children with hearing impairments to perform technical actions in football. It was found that for children with hearing impairments, the use of a teacher's demonstration of motor action and demonstration on the screen is not enough when learning motor actions, and the possibility of using oral teaching methods is limited. At the same time, not only the teacher showing the movement, but also the written language is of particular importance for this contingent of children. The training method we developed involves the use of posters describing the technique of performing football elements and illustrations of each stage of motor actions, and has shown high efficiency. The described method of teaching technical actions in football for children with hearing impairments and the criteria for evaluating some control exercises can be used by trainers and physical education teachers working in inclusive classes.

ABSTRACT. Assessment in the 2013 curriculum places more emphasis on cognitive assessment possessed by students. Assessment instruments made by teachers at daily tests are generally still at the C1-C3 cognitive level, instruments that can be used to train students' abilities are at the C4-C6 level. This study aims to produce instruments for assessing higher order thinking skills on Plant material for high, reliable, high school/MA grade X students, difficulty levels, distinguishing features and good quality options. This study uses 4-D models. Which consists of the stages define, design, develop and disseminate. The disseminate stage was not carried out. The subjects of this research were 34 students of SMAN 7 Padang. The validity test results show logically valid questions with an average value of 3.27 with valid criteria. The average practicality value of 98.61% with very practical question criteria, the reliability of the questions is 0.85, and the level of difficulty of the questions between 0.29 to 0.67 with moderate criteria, as well as the questions have a good difference in power and good quality of question options. From the research it can be concluded that an instrument of assessment of high-level thinking ability about Plant material for high-school/MA grade X students has been produced which is valid, reliable, has a moderate level of difficulty, good differentiation and good quality options.

Assessing the Potential Impact of General Collective Intelligence
Authors: Williams Andy E
Published: August 2020

The concept of General Collective Intelligence or GCI is summarized, and the potential for GCI to exponentially increase the general problem-solving ability of the group so that it is far larger than that of any individual in the group, and therefore the potential for GCI to exponentially increase the ability of groups to impact collective outcomes are explored. GCI is represented as a repeating pattern, beginning with a first order GCI, then progressing to an Nth order one, where N might be limited by the resources available, and where each order is suggested to create the potential for an exponential increase in general problem-solving ability. Finally, the claim that such an exponential increase in potential for impact on any general problem makes GCI the most important innovation in human history, and the most important innovation in the near term future, until the transition to second order GCI, is explored.
