Many studies have found that value stocks outperform growth in the U.S. and other international stock markets. Little research has been published attempts to explain this difference performance The results reported article are based on tests of several hypotheses for over 10,000 returns a ten-year period twenty-one authors find evidence investors overreact by driving prices too low. It appears analysts tend assume past rates earnings per share will continue future. Yet shows extreme revert...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative that accounts for two-thirds of all dementia cases, and age the strongest risk factor. In addition to amyloid hypothesis, lipid dysregulation now recognized as core component AD pathology. Gangliosides are class membrane lipids glycosphingolipid family enriched in central nervous system (CNS). Ganglioside has been implicated various diseases, including AD, but spatial distribution ganglioside with respect amyloid-beta (Aβ)...

BACKGROUND: The majority of massage therapy studies have evaluated 20- to 45-minute interventions in nonsurgical patients. Studies are needed evaluate the effects a brief intervention that would be more clinically feasible for bedside clinicians administer as an adjunct pharmacologic pain management acutely ill surgical PURPOSE: To impact conjunction with analgesic administration on pain, anxiety, and satisfaction postoperative orthopaedic inpatients. METHODS: A convenience sample patients...

Abstract Test anxiety is a major concern in education because it causes uncomfortable feelings test-anxious students and may reduce the validity of exam scores as measure learning. As such, brief cost-effective interventions are necessary to minimize negative impact test on students’ academic performance. In present experiment, we examine two such interventions: expressive writing (Experiment 1) an instructional intervention 2), with latter developed from similar for stereotype threat....

Past research has evaluated participants’ understanding of their memory by soliciting judgments learning (JOLs). Importantly, JOLs sometimes change for the judged material, leading to JOL reactivity. The cue-strengthening account (Soderstrom et al., 2015) and changed-goal (Mitchum 2016) propose different mechanisms that lead In present study, we collected measures can provide further insight into these mechanisms. Specifically, participants studied related unrelated word pairs in colored...

Abstract. Students are often overconfident in educational settings and struggle to differentiate between well-learned poorly-learned concepts. The present article reviews current research on strategies that help students assess their understanding, with a focus using authentic tasks materials. We propose framework for these we refer as wait-generate-validate. wait-generate-validate can give more objective measure of learning from lectures, understanding course concepts, text comprehension,...

The present work assessed a quizzing method that combines the benefits of retrieval practice and feedback, whereby learners must continue taking quizzes until they achieve perfect score with feedback provided (i.e., mastery quizzing). Across four experiments ( n = 952; age 18–76, M 37.10, SD 11.61; 50% female, 48% male, 2% other gender or did not identify), we explored whether such produces better retention than more traditional forms quizzing. Participants were adults recruited online who...

Given the finding that retrieval practice improves memory, it is frequently suggested students test themselves while studying. This study examined whether participants benefit from testing if they create and use their own questions. In Experiment 1, read passages, generated questions about then either answered as created them (the procedure used in previous studies) or after a delay. Experiments 2 3, delay (i.e., self-testing), experimenter-provided questions, reread passages before taking...

Abstract Background Memory loss has been a central focus of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research but executive dysfunction may be one the earliest indicators AD (Baudic et al., 2006). Executive function refers to group cognitive processes that are required for goal directed behaviours, such as working memory and flexibility. Amyloid‐β (Aβ) plaques neurofibrillary tangles considered pathological hallmarks AD, evidence suggests these not pathologies appear in brain (Sperling 2011). This...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative condition affecting millions of people worldwide. With an aging population, it predicted that by 2050 the number individuals living with AD will triple, resulting in increased social and economic burden. Previous research has demonstrated pathological process leading to occurs years before positive diagnosis. Therefore, identifying biomarkers co‐occur within early stage progression predict worsening cognitive outcomes are critically...

Abstract Background Dementia affects 55 million people worldwide; a staggering statistic which highlights the need to limit its risk factors (WHO 2022). Importantly, epidemiological studies have reported that hearing loss significantly increases of developing dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (Lin et al., 2011; Hung 2015). Furthermore, preclinical identified noise‐induced causes molecular changes in hippocampus are consistent with AD‐related neuropathology (Cui 2015; Saljo 2002)....
