Identification of others through biological motion
Title
Identification of others through biological motion.
Creator
Fuller, Nicholas, Kersten, Alan, Earles, Julie
Abstract/Description
In point-light models, visual cues are reduced to points of light indicating the major points of movements of the human body. Although we are able to recognize people through movement, accuracy of identification of strangers through point-light models is low. Connecting the major points of motion to represent a skeleton might enhance the ability to recognize strangers.

Show moreIn point-light models, visual cues are reduced to points of light indicating the major points of movements of the human body. Although we are able to recognize people through movement, accuracy of identification of strangers through point-light models is low. Connecting the major points of motion to represent a skeleton might enhance the ability to recognize strangers. This study also wishes to assess whether accuracy will be improved through learning general movement characteristics of individuals. After a learning stage, participants were randomly assigned to match names with either point-light or skeleton models of actor movements. Two of the four actions performed by actors in the testing stage were previously seen during the learning stage. We expect identification from skeleton displays will be higher than for point light displays. We also expect higher accuracy for actions previously seen during the learning stage. The findings and their implications will be discussed.

From Treatment to Trauma: First-Line Cancer Treatment and Cancer-Related Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Creator
Ly, An, Chandrasekhar, Chitra, Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College, Florida Atlantic University, Earles, Julie
Abstract/Description
The epidemiology of cancer-related PTSD is well-documented, but the effect of first-line cancer treatments on the prevalence and severity of PTSD has yet to be consolidated. Unlike many other traumatic events preceding the onset of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the cancer experience has ongoing stages of diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship that each present their own stressors.

Show moreThe epidemiology of cancer-related PTSD is well-documented, but the effect of first-line cancer treatments on the prevalence and severity of PTSD has yet to be consolidated. Unlike many other traumatic events preceding the onset of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the cancer experience has ongoing stages of diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship that each present their own stressors. Due to the multifaceted nature of cancer-related trauma, it is important to understand how each component of the experience plays a role in the onset of mental illness. Thus, I review the existing literature to elucidate how the biochemical changes induced by chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery influence the onset and prevalence of cancer-related PTSD. In being informed of the physiological processes underlying treatment and their implications for mental health, patients and clinicians alike can better predict the psychological changes that occur alongside cancer treatment.

Based on what we know of human memory in terms of numbers, letters, and their combinations, this study aims to identify the “ideal” license plate for citizens to remember. This study’s results will be applicable in criminal cases, as well as in identifying vehicles involved in AMBER Alerts and Silver Alerts. There are many studies that have examined eyewitness memory for crimes in younger adults and older adults. In this study, we will examine the effects of age on memory for license plates. We want to determine which license plates are better remembered by younger and older adults. We hypothesize that the organization of letters and numbers on the license plate will have a larger effect on older adults than on younger adults because older adults need more memory support.

Adult Age Differences in Event Memory for Events

Adult Age Differences in Event Memory for Events.
Creator
Beazley, Joanna, Devlin, Patrick, Earles, Julie, Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry
Abstract/Description
In order to remember an event, one must remember the participants in the event, the actions that are performed, and which people performed which actions. Often people make binding errors in memory in which they remember the people and the actions, but they incorrectly remember one person as the person who performed an action that was actually performed by someone else. Half of the participants in our study saw a series of actions with each action performed by one of two actors. The other half...

Often people make binding errors in memory in which they remember the people and the actions, but they incorrectly remember one person as the person who performed an action that was actually performed by someone else. Half of the participants in our study saw a series of actions with each action performed by one of two actors. The other half of the participants saw each action performed by a different actor. We found that older adults were more likely to make binding errors than were younger adults. Younger adults were equally likely to make binding errors in the two conditions. Older adults, however, made many fewer binding errors when they saw only two actors during encoding than when they saw many actors during encoding.

Creator
Seepersad, Vrishan, Earles, Julie, Florida Atlantic University, Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College
Abstract/Description
This study examined how the use of EnChroma glasses affects the color perception of individuals with color blindness. Differences in color vision were measured with the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue Color Vision Test and the Ishihara test. The participants were individuals of varying ages with color blindness and individuals with normal color vision (matched by their age). I tested how the EnChroma glasses changed a colorblind individual’s viewing experience of color within images such as...

The participants were individuals of varying ages with color blindness and individuals with normal color vision (matched by their age). I tested how the EnChroma glasses changed a colorblind individual’s viewing experience of color within images such as paintings and photographs. Fourteen images were selected, and for each image, the participant answered questions about the image focusing on the dynamics of color, aesthetics, and the overall engagement with the image. The EnChroma glasses improved the color discrimination in only of two out of the eight color blind participants.

Abstract/Description
In 2015, 11.6% of all recorded deaths in the world were caused by dementia (“Dementia Now Leading Cause of Death,” 2016). However, the progression of dementia can potentially be slowed down by providing mental stimulation through music enrichment programs. Two distinct forms of memory have been studied in dementia patients, semantic memory and episodic memory. Semantic memory of music was found to be largely preserved, while episodic memories underwent a significant decline (Tulving, 1972)....
Show moreIn 2015, 11.6% of all recorded deaths in the world were caused by dementia (“Dementia Now Leading Cause of Death,” 2016). However, the progression of dementia can potentially be slowed down by providing mental stimulation through music enrichment programs. Two distinct forms of memory have been studied in dementia patients, semantic memory and episodic memory. Semantic memory of music was found to be largely preserved, while episodic memories underwent a significant decline (Tulving, 1972). At the cellular level, symptoms of dementia include altered levels of gray and white matter, decrease in overall volume of structures within the brain, formation of neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques, and a reduction in dopamine levels (Yang et al., 2010; Raz, 2005; Guo et al., 2016; Chui et al., 1984; Anderton, 1997; Cross et al., 1981). It was found that participation in music sessions lessened the severity of several of these processes. Thus, this research will explore how exposure to music can potentially increase memory retention, slow down neural atrophy, and as a result, have a likely effect on the progression of dementia.

Event-Related Potentials, Race Categorization, and Implicit Racial Biases in Adults and Children.
Creator
Trulson, Haylee F., Earles, Julie, Florida Atlantic University, Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College
Abstract/Description
Previous research on face perception has been used to investigate implicit biases and understand how social categorization by race may shape behavior. However, prior studies have yet to compare adults’ and children’s event-related potentials (ERPs) and implicit racial biases. In the present study, we recruited Caucasian 18- to 25-year-old young adults and 5- to 10-year-old children. Participants completed a child friendly implicit association test and then a categorization task of Asian and...
Show morePrevious research on face perception has been used to investigate implicit biases and understand how social categorization by race may shape behavior. However, prior studies have yet to compare adults’ and children’s event-related potentials (ERPs) and implicit racial biases. In the present study, we recruited Caucasian 18- to 25-year-old young adults and 5- to 10-year-old children. Participants completed a child friendly implicit association test and then a categorization task of Asian and Caucasian faces while their electroencephalographic waveforms were recorded. We found greater implicit own-race biases were associated with larger bilateral P100 responses to other- than ownrace faces in children and adults, and larger bilateral N250 responses to own- than otherrace faces in adults. We speculate the P100 indicates attentional modulation by race in adults and children and the larger N250 for own-race faces in adults may be related to their greater perceptual expertise for Caucasian faces. These findings suggest that implicit biases are related to early ERP responses when categorizing faces by race.
