A Study Inquiry Of The Impact Of The Mother-Daughter Relationship With Teen Pregnancy, Klarissa Zeno
A Study Inquiry Of The Impact Of The Mother-Daughter Relationship With Teen Pregnancy, Klarissa Zeno
Undergraduate Research Posters 2018
The relationship a teenage girl and her mother hold is vital in the outcome and the decisions the teen makes. This relationship is influenced by many different things including communication patterns the mother and teen have. The aim of this study is to look at the way the two communicate throughout the teen years of the daughter to see if there is an association with whether or not the teen becomes pregnant. Teen pregnancy has been an obstacle many girls have had to face during their adolescent years. This is due to the numerous teenagers that are sexually active during …
Reading Between The Bigrams, Gina M. Cascone, Deion L. Colbert
Reading Between The Bigrams, Gina M. Cascone, Deion L. Colbert
Undergraduate Research Posters 2018
In lexical decision experiments in which target strings were flanked by pairs of bigrams, Grainger, Mathot, and Vitu (2014) and Palinski (2016) found, for words, better performance when flanking bigrams contained target-string letters (e.g., FR FROG OG; OG FROG FR; RF FROG GO; GO FROG RF) than when they did not (e.g., EX FROG IT); better performance when flanking bigrams contained letters ordered as in the target (e.g., FR FROG OG; OG FROG FR) than switched (e.g., RF FROG GO; GO FROG RF); and no effect on performance of proximity of flanking letters to their locations in the targets. We …
Perception Of Time And Post-Surgery Physical Rehabilitation, Karmen Love
Perception Of Time And Post-Surgery Physical Rehabilitation, Karmen Love
Undergraduate Research Posters 2018
Physical rehabilitation is an important part of a patient’s recovery after surgery. Physical therapists are crucial to the success of that patient’s healing process. Physical rehabilitation can determine how quickly the patient’s healing progresses. It is difficult to determine how long a person will be in rehab and every patient has different expectations of how long their recovery will take. In this study, I explored how a patient’s perception of time affects the estimated versus actual recovery time post-surgery. The participants were patients admitted to the inpatient rehab at Mercy Regional Medical Center in Lorain, Ohio. Each patient was assessed …
Programming To Transition Psychological Experiments From Superlab To Matlab, Mudra R. Savaliya
Programming To Transition Psychological Experiments From Superlab To Matlab, Mudra R. Savaliya
Undergraduate Research Posters 2018
For the past six years, our laboratory has conducted experiments programmed in Superlab, a software package designed exclusively for psychological experiments. Although Superlab has some attractive features, it also has some severe limitations. For example, Superlab cannot read files, meaning that for an experiment in which each participant has a unique stimulus list, a unique program has to be assembled for each participant. For an experiment in which each participant has a unique order of conditions, a unique program with the conditions in that order has to be assembled for each participant. Preparing numerous unique programs provides numerous opportunities for …
Perspectives On Adolescent Drug Use: Interviews With Community Providers, Noelle Naser
Perspectives On Adolescent Drug Use: Interviews With Community Providers, Noelle Naser
Undergraduate Research Posters 2018
With a striking rise in drug related deaths over the past few years, researchers have looked towards improving prevention methods as a way to not only react to substance abuse with treatment, but learn to better prevent individuals from following these risk taking behaviors. Adolescents specifically are prone to risk taking behaviors such as substance use as they navigate through the challenges of adolescence and transitioning into their identities. Therefore, research in understanding how and why youth decide to get involved in substances is important for creating stronger prevention. Using qualitative data obtained from semi-structured interviews with community providers (N=4), …
The Impact Of Adjacent-Letter Flanking Bigrams On Lexical Decision Performance, Gina M. Cascone, Deion L. Colbert
The Impact Of Adjacent-Letter Flanking Bigrams On Lexical Decision Performance, Gina M. Cascone, Deion L. Colbert
Undergraduate Research Posters 2018
Some models of word identification hypothesize that the word recognition system includes units responsive to bigrams (letter pairs). Grainger, Mathot, and Vitu (2014) and Palinski (2016) found that target-flanking bigrams consisting of letters adjacent in targets (e.g., OG FROG FR) affect decisions about whether letter strings are words: Bigram-letter order, but not proximity of bigram letters to their locations in the targets, affected performance. (Average performance was better with FR FROG OG and OG FROG FR than with RF FROG GO and GO FROG RF, but no different with FR FROG OG and RF FROG GO than with OG FROG …
Learning To Do In Vivo Neural Responses In Mice, Timothy Mogan, Justin Wobser, Riley Raulhammer, Tyler Erker
Learning To Do In Vivo Neural Responses In Mice, Timothy Mogan, Justin Wobser, Riley Raulhammer, Tyler Erker
Undergraduate Research Posters 2018
Timothy Mogan, Tyler Erker, Riley Faulhammer and Justin Wobser were the target students for this stereotaxic neurosurgery and electrophysiology lab experience. They are Pre-Nursing, Pre-Neuroscience (Pyschology) or Pre-Med majors. This richly educational and hands-on investigation significantly enhanced their confidence and experience in RODENT HANDLING, ANESTHESIA, ELECTROPHSYIOLOGY, PERFUSION, BRAIN REMOVAL and GENERAL LAB SKILLS. An animal use protocol was created for the project under the guidance of the Mentors and the students followed it competently. Students completed CITI online animal research training and animal handling training was provided by Lou Turchyn, DVM. Animals for the research were generously donated by Dr. …
P1: Adjacent-Letter Flanking Bigrams Affect Lexical Decision Performance, Nicole M. Russo, Lea G. Araya
P1: Adjacent-Letter Flanking Bigrams Affect Lexical Decision Performance, Nicole M. Russo, Lea G. Araya
Undergraduate Research Posters 2017
In a lexical decision task in which target strings were flanked by pairs of bigrams, Grainger, Mathot, and Vitu (Acta Psychologica, 2014) found, for words, better performance when flanking bigrams contained target-string letters (e.g., BI BIRD RD; RD BIRD BI; IB BIRD DR; DR BIRD IB) than when they did not (e.g., CE BIRD NT); better performance when flanking bigrams contained letters ordered as in the target (e.g., BI BIRD RD; RD BIRD BI) than switched (e.g., IB BIRD DR; DR BIRD IB); and that only letter order within bigrams—not bigram order relative to the respective target—affected performance. Palinski (CSU …

P2: Differential Effects Of Adjacent-Letter And Open Flanking Bigrams On Lexical Decision Performance, Lea G. Araya, Nicole M. Russo
Undergraduate Research Posters 2017
Some models of word identification hypotheses units responsive to bigrams—letter pairs—that may not be adjacent in a letter-string stimulus. Grainger, Mathot, and Vitu (2014) and Palinski (2016) found, for words, responding was more efficient when flanking bigrams contained target-string letters than when they did not. They also found that responding was more efficient when flanking bigrams contained letters ordered as in the target than switched but whether flanking bigrams were ordered as in the target did not affect performance. Palinski (2016) replicated the results of Grainger et al. (2014) and conducted a second experiment that included four additional conditions in …
