The consideration of future consequences: scale dimensionality and domain specificity
… of the CFC-14 scale, (c) testing the concept of domain specificity in the CFC construct, and ( d) examining regulatory focus as a potential mediator of the link between CFC and health behaviour. Chapter 2 presents a meta-analysis of studies examining associations between CFC and three distinct …

Acquiring Political Information on the Web: Issue Publics, Domain-Specificity, and Selectivity
Implications for fields of research and the functioning of democracy are discussed.

Learning, Prove, and Avoid Goal Orientations in Academics and Athletics: Cross-Structure Analysis and Domain Specificity
… goal orientation; and (3) is goal orientation domain specific? To help answer these questions, 177 undergraduates were given a questionnaire assessing, in both the academic and athletic domains, (a) learning, prove, and avoid goals, (b) self-perceived ability, ability, and implicit theories, …

The Longitudinal Role of Working Memory on Adult Acquisition of L2 Grammar
… (grammar tests and the reading span test); the domain specificity hypothesis; the processing efficiency hypothesis; and the less is more hypothesis.

Distinct dimensions of anxiety and depression: anxiety and rumination differentially predict depressed mood and low positive affect
… have mainly been investigated using non-domain-specific self-report inventories, which index overlapping symptoms and do not distinguish well between fundamentally distinct dimensions of anxiety (anxious apprehension and anxious arousal) and depression (depressed mood and low positive …

Marking Time : increased scope and accuracy for sketch classification of the clock drawing test
… subsequent labeling of those groups. Despite the domain-specificity, classification is a challenging problem because the subject often has cognitive or motor impairments. It is thus important for the classifier to be able to handle a wide range of input with distorted, overwritten, or missing …

Evolution and dynamic behavior of transfer RNA in the first two steps of translation
… elements for groups of tRNA organized by domain of life and specificity. Shannon entropy differences between evolutionary profiles of tRNA domain/specificity groups and the representatives of all tRNA species reveal the uniquely conserved nucleotides within each tRNA domain/specificity, …

An Examination of Working Memory, Spatial Awareness and Expertise in Athletes, Non-Athletes and Sports-Fans
… to baseball. Results suggested a higher level of domain specificity for WM and attention, as well as a greater adaptability of attentional control, particularly in the context of expert athletes. Taken together, findings provided evidence that sport related cognitive performances are not as easily …

Leadership and Well-Being
… shows that effects may differ across domains of well-being, depend on individual contingencies, and unfold in both directions between leaders and followers. The first two chapters cover findings from a controlled laboratory paradigm to investigate leadership effects on …

The contributions of posterior lateral temporal cortex to language and control networks
… with, the multiple demand network for domain-general executive control. This raises the question of how semantic representation and control might relate to other domains. The exact extent of this overlap, and the implications this has both for role of individual regions, is still …

Investigations of the neural basis of source memory strength
… strength. Chapter 3 used fMRI to examine the domain specificity of source memory strength, such as which brain regions are more active for source memory in general and which regions differed in their contribution to source strength depending on stimulus content. The retrieval of information …

The Nosological Status of Loss of Control over Eating in Children
… potential heritability and lack of domain-specificity. Overall, pediatric LOC eating appears associated with higher food reinforcement and poorer perceived quality of life, but may not hinder short-term family-based treatment success. Future longitudinal studies are needed to assess …

Characterisation of the dead ringer gene of Drosophila melanogaster
Interest in the mechanisms of homeo domain specificity led to a screen that identified Drosophila proteins able to bind a consensus homeo domain site. One clone isolated in this screen produced no homeo domain and was selected for further characterisation as a protein with an unknown DNA binding …

Advancing Language Equity and Sample Efficiency in Task-Oriented Dialogue Systems
… equity in dialogue systems through language and domain transfer. The lack of datasets reflecting real-life interactions in most languages hinders TOD system development. To address this, we present two datasets: MULTI3NLU++ and COD. MULTI3NLU++, collected via human translation, enables systematic …

Multilingualism and Diglossia in Hong-Kong Secondary Schools: Switching effects in cognition and language processing
… sentences, in order to determine the level of domain-generality or domain-specificity of cognitive switching. Additionally, the thesis aims to examine whether switching ability is responsible for language processing, with a focus on transient ambiguity. Leveraging the complex linguistic …

Design and Evaluation of Domain-Specific Interaction Techniques in the AEC Domain for Immersive Virtual Environments
… AEC (architecture / engineering / construction) domain have not yet benefited from applying VEs. A review of prior work has suggested that 3D interaction has not reached a level that meets real-world task requirements. Most interaction techniques pay little attention to the application contexts. …

Using a Delayed Match-to-Samples Task to Investigate the Isolated Processing of Geometric Shapes and Their Corresponding Shape Words
<p>Evidence suggests an isolated system dedicated to processing geometric information (Spelke, Lee, & Izard, 2010), but isolating geometric processing from semantic processing has remained difficult. Recently, Sturz, Edwards, and Boyer (2014) utilized a delayed match-to-sample (DMTS) task to …

Consistency-aware and LLM-assisted methods for named entity recognition
… systems, particularly in biomedical and clinical domains, is often constrained by the limited availability of high-quality labeled data, where annotation is costly and restricted by privacy concerns. The first part of this thesis focuses on improving document-level consistency in NER. While prior …
