The use of nanotechnology (devices/materials composed parts less than 10 nanometres) in the development new products is rapidly expanding. Industrialists and decision-makers consider to be next industrial revolution, but fear they risk same resistance that their counterparts experienced with genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Although perception studies have shown perceived GMOs quite high compared related nanotechnology, no study date has explored a potential direct social...

Subsurface engineering projects with high socio-environmental impacts raise strong controversies among stakeholders, which often affects the projects’ implementation. These originate from a loss of public confidence in decision-making process, lack information about new technologies, and desire some promoters to avoid conflict. The methodologies structure each stage debate can, this context, lead crystallization stakeholders’ positions failure project. To promote mutual understanding...

The quality and the quantity of information recalled by eyewitnesses during a criminal investigation is crucial importance. To increase volume details an interview, cognitive interview recommends using various retrieval strategies to enhance recall. We tested new instruction, open depth (OD) instruction. efficacy this instruction was assessed with number unit accuracy rate. also cost-and-benefit measures repetition. Students watched video simulated robbery participated later in face-to-face...

The general theory of deception (GTD) aims to unify and complete the various sparse theoretical units that have been proposed in literature date, a comprehensive framework fully describing from end process by which deceptive messages are produced, how this can inform more effective prevention detection. As part elaboration theory, different ways people elaborate were first tracked authors daily, over 3 years, resulting identification, description, naming 99 "elementary modes" (87 verbal, 12...

Summary : Need for cognition A French scale children and its consequences on a sociocognitive level. This article proposes version of the Cognition (Cacioppo et Petty, 1982) to be used with aged 10 14. The results standard questionnaire validation procedure are presented. It is then explained how variable can integrated into context if variables that traditionally interest researchers taken account, notably norm internality (Jellison Green, 1981 ; Beauvois Dubois, 1988) normative...

L’objectif de cette recherche etait mettre a l’epreuve du terrain une nouvelle technique d’audition destinee ameliorer les souvenirs des temoins : la l’entretien cognitif. Les fondements theoriques sont issus certains modeles memoire humaine, et plus particulierement partir l’hypothese l’encodage specifique Tulving concept contexte. L’entretien cognitif, initialement developpe aux Etats-Unis, comprend quatre consignes que l’interviewe est invite utiliser au cours 1 / se remettre mentalement...

All-optical networks will require low-cost laser sources. In order to reduce the packaging cost and design a module without optical isolator, 2.5-Gb/s 300-ps/nm transmission characteristics of 1.3-μm distributed-feedback lasers is analyzed in presence strong external feedback. The penalty degradation when operating under feedback discussed its dependence with coherence collapse onset analyzed. Although drastic increase state reported, floor-free operation demonstrated return loss as high -8 dB.

The Implicit Association Test (IAT) is used to assess attitude beyond the limitations of explicit measurements. Nevertheless, test requires opposition between two objects and also measures an extra-personal dimension that may reflect associations shared collectively. first limitation can be overcome by using a Single Category IAT second personalized version IAT. This study compares attitudes smoking measured with test. results, collected from 111 students, showed did not distinguish smokers...

Introduction Strokes leave around 40% of survivors dependent in their activities daily living, notably due to severe motor disabilities. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have been shown be efficiency for improving recovery after stroke, but this is still far from the level required achieve clinical breakthrough expected by both clinicians and patients. While technical levers improvement identified (e.g., sensors signal processing), fully optimized BCIs are pointless if patients cannot or do...

The own-group recognition bias (OGRB) has been consistently linked to social contact in theoretical accounts. Indeed, is assumed by most authors underlie the perceptual expertise of out-groups' faces. However, little known empirically about how it might impact face-processing strategies. We tested proposition that interaction would improve face performance another group modulating visual strategies for different areas. In Experiment 1, we studied processes using an eye tracker during a...

The purpose of this series studies is to test a paper-and-pencil procedure adapted from computerized Implicit Association Test: the SC-IAT-P (Personalized Single Category Test, Bardin, et al. 2014). This adaptation combines advantages SC-IAT (Karpinski & Steinman, 2006), IAT-P (Olson Fazio, 2004) and IAT (Lemm, Lane, Sattler, Khan Nosek, 2008). It capable measuring implicit attitude toward single object, limits influence extrapersonal associations, unquestionably easy administer. tool was...

This study examines the influence of familiarity on witnesses’ memory and individual effectiveness each four cognitive interview instructions in improving recall scripted events. Participants (N = 195), either familiar or unfamiliar with hospital script, were presented a video surgical operation. One week later, an interviewer used one control instruction to ask them about video. surgery context recalled significantly more correct information and, particular, consistent irrelevant details...

There are two primary investigative interview objectives: gathering information to determine what happened and who did it assessing the witness's reliability. The present study examined extent interviewers gather investigation-relevant (IRI) compared interviewee details (ID) assess witness As part of a training course, 42 police officers participated as mock witnesses by viewing crime video. interviews were recorded rated for question type content through thematic analyses. IRI questions...

Prevention messages are short sentences supposed to broadcast preventive intentions. Three types of noticeable: correcting erroneous beliefs, informing about the risks and promoting responsible gambling. While results in literature alerting, they frequently used European prevention campaigns. The present study relied on language semantics models evaluate communicative values 14 messages: 7 were actual created for study. Overall, 339 participants answered an online questionnaire which...

The own-group recognition bias (OGB) might be explained by the usage of different face processing strategies for own and other-group faces. Although featural appears in general to impair ability when compared configural (itself perhaps a function acquired expertise), recent research has suggested that OGB can reduced directing group-discriminating features. present study assessed perceptual training task intended replicate Hills Lewis' (2006) findings: we trained White participants focus...
