Vrij, Aldert – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2019
In this article, I present my view on the significant developments and theoretical/empirical tipping points in nonverbal and verbal deception and lie detection from the last 30 years and on prospects for future research in this domain. I discuss three major shifts in deception detection research: (a) From observing target persons' nonverbal…

Caldani, Simona; Steg, Sarah; Lefebvre, Aline; Atzori, Paola; Peyre, Hugo; Delorme, Richard; Bucci, Maria Pia – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
To identify quantitative indicators of social communication dysfunctions, we explored the oculomotor performances in subjects with autism spectrum disorders. Discordant findings in the literature have been reported for oculomotor behavior in subjects with autism spectrum disorders. This study aimed to explore reflexive and voluntary saccadic…

Trannoy, Severine; Chowdhury, Budhaditya; Kravitz, Edward A. – Learning & Memory, 2015
In "Drosophila," prior fighting experience influences the outcome of later contests: losing a fight increases the probability of losing second contests, thereby revealing "loser" effects that involve learning and memory. In these experiments, to generate and quantify the behavioral changes observed as consequences of losing…

Adamson, Reesha M.; Lewis, Timothy J. – Behavioral Disorders, 2017
A single subject alternating treatment design across three student-teacher dyads was used to investigate the comparative impact on student academic engaged time of three opportunity-to-respond (OTR) strategies: guided notes, class-wide peer tutoring, and response cards. Participants were three high school students with disabilities with noted…

Hou, Huei-Tse – Computers & Education, 2012
Massively multiple online role-playing games (MMORPGs) are very popular among students. Educational MMORPGs, however, are very rare, as are studies on gamers' behavioral patterns during such games. The current study is an empirical observation and analysis of the behavioral patterns of 100 gamers participating in an educational MMORPG called…

Miller, David B. – American Psychologist, 1977
"Five roles are considered by which systematic, quantified field research can augment controlled laboratory experimentation in terms of increasing the validity of laboratory studies." Advocates that comparative psychologists should "take more initiative in designing, executing, and interpreting our experiments with regard to the natural history of…

Hands, Beth; Parker, Helen; Larkin, Dawne – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2006
Many behavior patterns that impact on physical activity experiences are established in early childhood, therefore it is important that valid, reliable, and feasible measures are constructed to identify children who are not developing appropriate and healthy activity habits. In this study, measures of physical activity derived by accelerometry and…

Calcote, Lynn G. – 1974
Ninety-six female introductory psychology students differing in terms of the dimensions of neuroticism-stability and introversion-extraversion performed two sets of thirty trials each on a choice reaction time task. On one of the sets of trials the Ss were observed by two female observers and on the other set of trials the observers were not…

Prescott, Elizabeth – 1973
A study was conducted comparing young children's experiences in three types of day care--closed structure, open structure and family--with their experiences in home care supplemented by part-time nursery school. A total of 112 children, aged 2 to 5, were observed, each for 180-200 minutes. Eighty-four were selected from 15 day care centers, half…

Pack, Albert R.; Michael, William B. – 1995
This study investigated the extent to which data collected on play behavior differ when two different data collection methods, observation alone and observation plus interview, were used. A secondary objective was to compare data collected using both methods in an indoor and outdoor play environment. The social and cognitive play behavior for a…

Ragozin, Arlene S. – Child Development, 1980
Relationships between day care and attachment were assessed with alternative procedures: (1) hypothesized normal patterns of attachment were tested naturalistically in day-care centers; (2) day-care and home-reared children were compared in a laboratory setting. (Author/MP)

Osberg, Timothy M.; Shrauger, J. Sidney – 1981
Research has provided support for the existence of certain actor-observer and self-serving biases in individuals' retrospective analyses about the causes of behavior. A question that has been relatively unexplored deals with whether the findings on actor-observer differences and the self-serving pattern in attributions are generalizable to…

Adkins, Dee Ann; Johnson, Stephen M. – 1972
In summarizing the results of naturalistic observations of children, it is often useful to have a reading of the child's overall deviance and the responses of social agents to these deviant behaviors. Traditionally, investigators have categorized a series of child behaviors as deviant based solely on their own assumptions with no empirical basis…
