This article intends to empower and equip art educators to artistically address the functioning of facial detection algorithms through critical race theory (CRT). By highlighting how biometric data, a specific form of data that measures the physical qualities of individuals, is used in common social media facial detection algorithms like Snapchat,…

Background: A priori assumptions about specific behavior in test items can be used to process log data in a rule-based fashion to identify the behavior of interest. In this study, we demonstrate such a top-down approach and created a process indicator to represent what type of information processing (flimsy, breadth-first, satisficing, sampling,…

This article presents an interview with Michael W. O'Boyle, a neuroscientific investigator of high mathematical ability. O'Boyle is a professor in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies, Texas Tech University, and Adjunct Professor of Pharmacology and Neuroscience, School of Medicine, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.…

Wolitzky's theoretical objections to the premises of a recent study by Levine are traced to some misunderstandings of the study's rationale, and to a difference in definition of the concept of constricted versus flexible control. (Author)

In a recent study, Levine concluded that there was a lack of support for the concept of constricted versus flexible cognitive control. It is suggested that this conclusion is misleading in view of issues concerning the logic of the derived predictions and the statistical power of the study. (Author)

Eidetic imagery involves the ability to examine a visual stimulus briefly and later project onto a neutral surface an image that represents an exact duplication of the original. This study uses the differential frequency of eidetic imagery ability between children and adults as a basis for testing the validity of hypnotic age regression.…

This report investigates those factors, necessary for, or facilitative of, stimulus organization. Part I considers three experimentally controlled factors: (1) stimuli; (2) responses; and (3) temporal organization of stimuli. The results revealed that temporal specing accounted for different findings. When the intertrial interval (ITI) was present…

The present study examined the immediate and delayed effects of unobtrusive exposure to personality trait terms (e.g., "reckless,""persistent") on subjects' subsequent judgments and recollection of information about another person. The implications of individual and situational variation in the accessibility of different categories for judgments…

Paivio's Dual Coding Theory has received widespread recognition for its connection between visual and aural channels of internal information processing. The use of only two channels, however, cannot satisfactorily explain the effects witnessed every day. This paper presents a study suggesting the presence a third, kinesthetic channel, currently…

Previous approaches to impression formation from verbal information are discussed. A "holistic reference" approach is presented which proposes that a person first calls to mind the reference of the verbal description as a whole, and then evaluates that reference. (Editor)

A survey 0f 625 women supervisors and managers (58 percent response) identified the following personal characteristics of women who have achieved upward mobility in information processing: educational achievement, liberal attitudes toward women, an androgynous sex-role identity, and greater career than family orientation. (SK)

This paper proposes computer assistance in the synthesis operation of vocational counseling. The goal of vocational counseling is to match the client with a vocation in which he will be both satisfied and satisfactory. The computer would, through its rapid scanning and computation, produce probabilities of satisfactoriness based on (1) the…
