(2015-12-11)
Previous research has examined a variety of methods for teaching young children important social skills in preschool to increase prosocial behavior and reduce classroom behavior problems. Preschool life skills (PLS) ...
A bout analysis reveals age-dependent methylmercury neurotoxicity and nimodipine neuroprotection: Implications for the role of calcium homeostasis in aging
(2016-07-20)
Learning and sensorimotor function decline in normal aging and these deficits may be related to elevations in intracellular calcium (Ca2+) levels [Ca2+]i. The neurotoxicity of methylmercury (MeHg), a ubiquitous environmental ...
Does Variability Training Facilitate Learning in Two Genetically Divergent Mouse Strains?
(2016-05-06)
Variability is an operant dimension of behavior so the degree of variability observed depends upon the reinforcement contingency. One approach to reinforcing variations is the threshold procedure, in which a particular ...
A Comparative Analysis of Cyclical vs. Non-Cyclical Romantic Relationships

Existing literature on romantic adult relationships focuses primarily on stable, married intimate dyads. However, up to 60% of couples indicate breaking up and reuniting with their partner at least once; despite their ...
Disruption of the Relational and Item-specific Processing Supports the Negative Outcomes of Multiple-Choice Testing with Additional Lures
(2017-06-21)
Multiple-choice retrieval practice with additional lures reduces retention on a later test (Roediger & Marsh, 2005). However, the mechanism underlying the negative outcomes with additional lures is poorly understood. Given ...

(2016-01-06)
A flexible work arrangement pilot program was implemented in the corporate office of a mid-size organization. To assess the impact of flexible work arrangements on employee engagement, surveys were administered prior to ...
Low-dose clozapine but not haloperidol attenuates ketamine-induced deficits under an incremental repeated acquisition procedure
(2014-08-07)
Ketamine, like other N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists, causes both locomotor and cognitive dysfunction, decrements that may be mediated by distinct neurotransmitter systems. The present study was designed ...
