Joint attention-the mutual focus of 2 individuals on an item-speeds detection and discrimination target information. However, what happens to that information beyond the initial perceptual episode? To fully comprehend engage with our immediate environment also requires working memory (WM), which integrates from second create a coherent fluid picture world. Yet, no research exists at present examines how joint attention directly impacts WM. investigate this, we created unique paradigm...
Despite the growing international innovations for visual arts interventions in dementia care, limited attention has been paid to their theoretical basis. In response, this paper explores how and why art care influence changes outcomes. The theory building process consists of a realist review primary research on programmes. This aims uncover what works, whom, how, circumstances. We undertook qualitative exploration stakeholder perspectives programmes, then synthesised these two pieces work...
Eye gaze is an important social signal that people generally cannot help but follow, leading to joint attention. Joint attention has been shown speed basic processing of objects, enhance memory for them, and even affect immediate value-based appraisal by increasing object likability. Here, across 8 experiments, we investigate the first time whether jointly attending other faces positively affects their longer-term value (liking, trust) attentional (attention allocation prioritisation)....
Joint focus of attention between two individuals can influence the way that observers attend, encode, and value items. Using a nonpredictive gaze cuing task we previously found working memory (WM) was better for jointly attended (validly cued) versus invalidly cued colored squares. Here examine whether this on WM is driven by sharing perspective face cue (mental state account), or simply increased to location (social account). To manipulate taking, closed barrier obstructed face's view...
People frequently receive performance feedback that describes how well they achieved in the past, and could improve future.In educational contexts, future-oriented (directive) is often argued to be more valuable learners than past-oriented (evaluative) feedback; critically, prior research led us predict it should also better remembered.We tested this prediction six experiments.Subjects read written containing evaluative directive comments, which supposedly related essays had previously...
In this preregistered study (https://osf.io/s4rm9) we investigated the behavioural and neurological [electroencephalography; alpha (attention) theta (effort)] effects of dynamic non-predictive social non-social cues on working memory. a virtual environment realistic human-avatars dynamically looked to left or right side table. A moving stick served as control cue. Kitchen items were presented in valid cued invalid un-cued location for encoding. Behavioural findings showed similar influence...
This study aims to improve understanding of how distracting information and target task demands influence the strength gaze non-biological (arrow moving line) cuing effects. Using known non-predictive central cues, we manipulated degree distraction from additional presented on other side target, difficulty. In Experiment 1, used traditional unilateral task, where participants state location an asterisk non-target is empty (no distraction). 2 comprised a harder localisation (which contains...
This study aimed to investigate the facilitatory versus inhibitory effects of dynamic non-predictive central cues presented in a realistic environment. Realistic human-avatars initiated eye contact and then dynamically looked left, right or centre table. A moving stick served as non-social control cue participants localised (Experiment 1) discriminated 2) contextually relevant target (teapot/teacup). The movement took 500 ms stimulus onset asynchronies (SOA, 150 ms/300 ms/500 ms/1000 ms)...
This data article describes electroencephalography (EEG) and behavioral from 47 participants. Data was collected using a 64 channel eego™ sports mobile EEG system during visual working memory task presented in virtual reality (VR) Unity with an Oculus Rift S head-mounted display. In the task, participants had to remember status of details about objects on table. Prior object appearance moving, 3D social avatar or non-social stick cue which pointed left right Items for encoding could appear...
Objective.To explore how lifestyle and demographic, socioeconomic, disease-related factors are associated with supervised exercise adherence in an osteoarthritis (OA) management program the ability of these to explain adherence.Methods.A cohort register-based study on participants from Swedish Osteoarthritis Registry who attended part a nationwide OA program.We ran multinomial logistic regression determine association abovementioned factors.We calculated their McFadden R 2 .Results.Our...
Previous long-term memory (LTM) research found that angry faces were more poorly recognised when encoded with averted vs. direct gaze, while for happy was unaffected by gaze. Contrastingly, working (WM) accuracy but WM enhanced Because the LTM study conducted in an Eastern culture (Japan) Japanese faces, a Western (UK) Caucasian here we investigated further to examine whether gaze effects diverge due cultural variation between and participants. When participants viewed (Experiment 1),...
Recent research showed that people recall past-oriented, evaluative feedback more fully and accurately than future-oriented, directive feedback. Here we investigated whether these memory biases arise from preferential attention toward during encoding. We also attempted to counter the via manipulations intended focus participants on improvement. Participants received bogus their writing. Before reading feedback, some set goals for improvement (experiments 1 2), or they wrote about past future...
