Cues have been identified as important precursors to successful diagnoses among expert practitioners. However, current approaches the identification of cues typically rely on subjective methods, making validity difficult establish. The present research examined utility a Paired-Concept Association Task (P-CAT) basis for discriminating and novice cue activation in context offender profiling. Three studies are reported: 1A employed cognitive interview acquisition cue-based concepts used by...

Older adults can struggle to access relevant community expertise when faced with new situations. One such situation is the number of cyberattacks they may face interacting online. This paper reports on an initiative which recruited, trained, and supported older become cybersecurity educators (CyberGuardians), tasked promoting best practice within their communities prevent falling victim opportunistic cyberattacks. utilised embedded peer-to-peer information dissemination strategy, rather than...

Within the sport of rugby league, there exists a perceived shortage talent in playmaking positions. In Australia, an academy dedicated to development skills has recently been established. Although precise targeted by for are yet be determined, decision making is presumed integral. The current research used naturalistic decision-making paradigm inform training initiatives investigating processes engaged league playmakers. explored whether players varying ability could differentiated relation...

Abstract This exploratory experiment tested the effect of two virtual reality (VR) relaxation interventions on measures physiological arousal and affect, compared to a control. Forty-nine participants were randomly assigned one three conditions, all using Oculus Rift. Participants wore heart rate (HR) monitor completed pre- post-test surveys, including positive negative affect schedule, Likert-type open feedback questions. Mixed repeated ANOVAs revealed significant reductions in HR over time...

This study aimed to investigate people’s willingness accept algorithmic over human advice, under varying conditions of previous performance and decision significance. We randomly presented hypothetical scenarios 218 participants. Scenarios differed in relation context (i.e., choices relating taxi-routes, movies, restaurants, medical interventions, savings strategies, bush fire evacuation), within each scenario past was also varied (equal, above average, or far greater than the expert)....

The study aimed to examine the role of, and potential interplay between, cue utilisation cognitive reflection in email users’ ability accurately (and efficiently) differentiate between phishing genuine emails. 145 participants completed Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT), a diagnostic task, Expert Intensive Skill Evaluation (EXPERTise 2.0) battery, which provided gauge of domain. results revealed an interaction reflection, whereby users low both facets performed significantly worse diagnosing...

Phishing emails represent a major threat to online information security. While the prevailing research is focused on users' susceptibility, few studies have considered decision-making strategies that account for skilled detection. One relevant facet of cue utilization, where users retrieve feature-event associations stored in long-term memory. High degrees utilization help reduce demands placed working memory (i.e., cognitive load), and invariably improve decision performance...

This study examined trainee crime-scene investigators' preference for, and accuracy in using, four different computer-based decision support interface designs, each of which incorporated a reduced processing information acquisition strategy. The interfaces differed on the basis number options that could be considered simultaneously level control exercised over sequence feature values were accessed. Forty investigators completed six scenarios they asked to acquire formulate by selecting one...

Email phishing is a serious and potentially catastrophic threat to organisations individuals. Understanding what factors may influence individual susceptibility attacks essential protecting against cybercrime. We investigated the potential interplay between conscientiousness cue utilisation in individuals’ ability accurately differentiate legitimate emails. University students (N = 255) completed detection task, Mini International Personality Item Pool, edition of Expert Intensive Skill...

The world’s populations and workforces are aging older adults now the fastest growing group of internet users. Unfortunately, age-related declines may prevent from performing web-based tasks with same ease as their younger counterparts. Recent studies have suggested that peripheral navigation exacerbate online performance gaps fail to adequately search elements. Such however relied on use preexisting websites no control for layout, complexity, or prior familiarity. This study tested whether...

Motivation – The study examined whether experts and novices differed in their recognition of decisionmaking cues. Research approach To test cue recognition, the authors developed tested a computer-based task on group expert novice offender profilers. Findings/Design Recognition performance was assessed relation to classification agreement response latency among between two groups. findings revealed superior both measures by compared novices. limitations/Implications have implications for...

The research tested whether systematic exposure to expert-identified cues would improve novice criminal investigators’ cue recognition and, in turn, decision making. Two studies are reported, the first of which was a pre- postexposure assessment 20 novices’ recognition. This involved testing (accuracy and latency) pairings text-based labels (elicited via cognitive task analyses with subject matter experts) prior following an phase. results revealed statistically significant improvements...

Summary Unitary‐resource models posit a collective attentional resource responsible for sustaining information processing across all modalities. In contrast, multiple‐resource presume system of modality‐independent resources. The two predict similar within‐modal performance, but seemingly contradictory cross‐modal performance. Discordant outcomes in past research are here hypothesized to result from inconsistent levels cognitive load imposed within experimental tasks. Participants monitored...

A shortage in clientele at university-based psychology clinics represents a significant challenge to patient-based practical skills training. Although supplementary methods of skill development (e.g., role-plays) are embraced within these programs, it may be argued that offer relatively diluted simulation the psychological assessment process. Recently, virtual patients have been proposed as an attractive avenue for augmenting traditional training methods. The current paper explores potential...

At present, selection into Masters and Doctorate level Clinical Psychology programs in many countries largely relies upon undergraduate grades (i.e., Grade Point Average; GPA) the honors year thesis. The use of objective, non-cognitive measures ability are virtually non-existent. One measure seemingly relevant to field clinical psychology is Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT), an ability-based emotional intelligence (EI). EI, identify regulate one’s own (and others’)...
