Automatic and controlled processing of faces in social anxiety
The aim of this dissertation was to investigate the automatic emotional response, attention allocation, and attention disengagement elicited by facial stimuli in undergraduate participants with high and low Social Anxiety (SA). Affective faces (happy, neutral, angry) were subliminally presented to …

Face off : automatic versus controlled processing: does a shift in processing affect facial recognition?
Working from the transfer-inappropriate processing shift (Schooler, 2002), this project aimed to investigate whether a shift from automatic to controlled processing would impair face recognition rates, much like the manipulated Navon letters do (Perfect, Weston, Dennis, & Snell, 2008), thus …

The effects of different thermal environmental conditions on the performance of automatic and controlled processes
… conditions on the performance of automatic and controlled processes. The environmental conditions included temperature and relative humidity combinations of (1) 25°C with 60% r.h., (2) 33°C with 38% r.h., (3) 33°C with 66% r.h., and (4) 33°C with 92% r.h . These combinations corresponded to …

Automatic or controlled: What is the nature of the encoding processes leading to perceptual implicit memory?
… by a perceptual fluency task) are automatic or controlled was tested using the load insensitivity and intentionality criteria of Yantis and Jonides (1990). In Experiment 1, which manipulated perceptual load (1, 2, or 4 words) at encoding, somewhat ambiguous results were found: Although there was …

The Role of Feedback in Leader Identity Development: An Examination of the Impact of the Deficits-Based Versus Strengths-Based Feedback
… identity through the mechanisms of cognitive controlled processing and effort. I found that receiving leadership feedback was important in shaping leader identity. Specifically, feedback that focused on leadership strengths increased new leaders’ positive emotions, which positively influenced …

Understanding the Role of the Ventrolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Emotional Memory using Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
… effects of emotion on memory through top-down/controlled processes, including 1) coping with negative distraction and 2) elaborative encoding of negative information. Additionally, previous research has alluded to hemispheric differences in the VLPFC (Chapter 1). However, previous research has …

Age Differences in Prospective Memory: An Examination of the Role of Fluctuations in Executive Control
… times-is a cognitive function that relies on controlled or automatic processing to various degrees. Age differences in ProM are most likely to be observed on tasks that rely heavily on controlled processes. This is consistent with certain frontal lobe theories of cognitive aging that also make …

A Theoretical and Empirical Investigation of Individual Differences in Learning: A Synthesis of Cognitive Ability and Information Processing Perspectives
… 1967; Humphreys, 1979) with information processing theories of automatic and controlled processing (Schneider & Shiffrin, 1977) and performance-ability functions (Norman & Bobrow, 1975). An empirical evaluation of the theory is provided from an experiment with 63 high school and college …

Formulaic language in speech fluency development in English as a second language
… development, within a cognitive and information processing framework. Fluency has been studied and defined in terms of temporal variables of speech such as rate of speech, pause frequency and distribution, and the length of fluent runs between pauses. It has been suggested by several researchers …

Thermo-mechanical stress relief analysis in PMMA and 6000 series aluminum
… aluminum block verifies that under properly controlled processing parameters, it is possible to induce opposite stresses to relieve residual stresses in a quenched material. Additional limitations to the uphill quench technique are detailed in the following work so that thermo-mechanical …

An investigation of automatic affective processing : behavioral correlates in schizophrenia and neural correlates in healthy adults
… in emotional functioning is automatic affective processing. In Study 1, people with schizophrenia (n = 48) and a non-psychiatric comparison group (n = 28) completed an affective priming and cognitive priming task. Relative to controls, people with schizophrenia exhibited decreased affective …

Field Simulation for the Microwave Heating of Thin Ceramic Fibers
Microwave processing of ceramics has seen a growth in research and development efforts throughout the past decade. One area of interest is the exploration of improved heating control through experiments and numerical modeling. Controlled heating may be used to counteract non-uniform heating and …

Investigations of the cognitive and neural processes supporting memory for neutral and emotional words
… investigate the contributions of automatic and controlled processing to the recollective enhancement for the emotional words. Automatic processes (unaffected by task manipulation) drove the enhancement for arousing words, whereas controlled processes (disrupted by task manipulation) supported …

Bilingualism and cognition: exploring the bilingual cognitive advantage across the lifespan
… who constantly juggle two languages have better controlled processing and enhanced executive function (Bialystok, 2001; Bialystok & Martin, 2004). These findings have also been extended to adults whereby bilingual adults across the lifespan were found to have smaller interference effects than …
