Sex differences in favor of males have been documented measures spatial perspective taking. In this research, we examined whether social factors (i.e., stereotype threat and the inclusion human figures tasks) account for these differences. Experiment 1, evaluated performance when perspective-taking tests were framed as measuring either or (empathetic) abilities. condition, tasks ability on which an advantage. modified contained empathy females Results showed a sex difference condition but...
Uncertainty represented in visualizations is often ignored or misunderstood by the non-expert user. The National Hurricane Center displays hurricane forecasts using a track forecast cone, depicting expected of storm and uncertainty forecast. Our goal was to test whether different graphical containing would influence decision about characteristics. Participants viewed one five visualization types. Three varied currently used presented with no uncertainty, an ensemble multiple possible tracks....
Naming difficulty is a common symptom of left (i.e., language dominant) hemisphere epilepsy. As such, in the presurgical evaluation for drug-resistant epilepsy, which aims to localize epileptogenic region, identification naming deficit typically implicates temporal region. However, well-established finding poor those with but not right nondominant) seizures monolingual patients unreliable bilingual adults despite proficiency tested. We aimed examine performance and its relation seizure...
Naming difficulty is a common symptom of multiple age-related neurodegenerative disorders. As naming increases with age, valid, up-to-date assessment tools are crucial for differentiating between neurotypical changes in healthy aging and pathological difficulty. We aimed to develop provide normative data complementary auditory description visual tests older adults. Furthermore, these measures would include not only untimed accuracy, typically the sole performance measure, but also additional...
Historically, naming has been assessed with visual object naming; however, we have found that auditory description significantly enhances lateralization and localization of dysfunction. We previously published (ANT) complementary Visual Naming Tests (VNT) for young adults, recently developed these measures children (ages 6-15 years) older adults 56-100 years). Here, update the original stimuli more rigorously norm tests ages 16-55, addressing prior limitations.

Objective: Word finding or “naming” difficulty is a symptom of multiple neurological disorders; therefore, naming assessment an integral component neuropsychological evaluation. Prior work has found weaker second-language in healthy proficient bilingual youth than monolingual youth, and similar findings have been shown adults with epilepsy. Considering the potential influences both early onset epilepsy bilingualism on brain development, we compared English second language (ESL) To assess...
