Examining Eye Movements In Response To Repeated Exposure To Building Stimuli
… explores this relationship by examining how repeated exposure to AI-generated images of buildings influences eye movements and memory. Twenty-four participants viewed 120 building images across four levels of repetition (novel, once, three, and five times), while their eye movements were …

Intestinal Adaptation to Repeated Exposure of Flavonoid-rich Foods: In Vitro and Clinical Data
… the impact of broad dietary patterns such as repeated exposure on flavonoid’s absorption, metabolism, and eventual efficacy is critical to consider since evidence suggests that their bioavailability may be enhanced with repeated exposure. To fill this gap in knowledge, this dissertation will …

Synthesized speech intelligibility and preschool age children: comparing accuracy for single word repetition with repeated exposure.
… This investigation examined the effect of repeated exposure to novel and repeated single spoken words in typical listening environments on the intelligibility of two synthesized speech voices and human recorded speech in preschool age children. Methods: Eighteen preschool aged participants …

Biodegradation of QACs in lake and river water and effects on the microbial community
… surface waters at sub-inhibitory concentrations. Exposure to sub-inhibitory QAC concentrations can facilitate the evolution of resistance to QACs and may also lead to co-resistance to other antimicrobial agents. Few studies have investigated the impact of repeated exposure of sub-inhibitory …

Interesting Shapes of Vegetables: Is it A Strategy to Promote Consumption Among Preschool Children?
… their level of consumption. A new strategy of repeated exposure to interesting-shaped vegetables was a step aimed at increasing vegetable consumption by increasing the fun element in having vegetables as snacks. Vegetables are the less desirable food in comparison to more attractive unhealthy …

Threat Perception Alteration as an Effect of Use-of-Force Simulation Training
… such as situational awareness and judgement. Repeated exposure to threatening situations, such as those in the use-of-force simulations, may alter the threat perception of the participant. Using self-report measures of anxiety (STAI-6 Item) and affect (PANAS), as well as respiration rate data, …

An Hedonomic Evaluation Of Pleasurable Human-technology Experience: The Effect Of Exposure And Aesthetics On The Experience Of Flow
… dimensions of the framework are reported. The 'Exposure' component of the EHH framework and hedonics of the system were investigated to see how changes would affect other dimensions, such as the occurrence of flow, the mode of interaction, and the needs of the user. Simulations and video games …

Providing nurses with a structured approach to emotional support during COVID-19
… stress disorder (PTSD), as a result of repeated exposure to traumatic events, long working hours, workplace violence, and repeated exposure to death and suffering. Additionally, nurses have a higher risk of suicide than the general population. A literature review was conducted and …

A Behavioral Economic Analysis of Different Reinforcers: Sound-Clips Versus Points Exchangeable for Money
… points/money than for sounds. During subsequent exposures at each response requirement, demand for sounds often decreased to a greater degree than demand for points/money. Thus, sound-clips seem less durable than points/money across prices and across repeated exposure to the same price. Response …

Role of basic fibroblast growth factor in the development of sensitization to the effects of amphetamine
Repeated exposure to the stimulant drug, amphetamine, results in long-lasting increases in its effects on locomotor activity, reward and dopaminergic function. The precise mechanisms responsible for this persistent drug-induced sensitization are unknown, but evidence suggests that neuroadaptations …

EARLY ADOLESCENT NICOTINE EXPOSURE HAS LONG-LASTING EFFECTS ON COCAINE-INDUCED BEHAVIORS IN MICE
… it is essential to understand how early exposure to nicotine during adolescence may affect the abuse liability of other drugs. We hypothesize that repeated exposure to low doses of nicotine in adolescence induce age-specific enhancement of the rewarding effects of several drugs of abuse …

Psycholinguistic Investigations of Brand Names via Word Recognition and Memory Experiments
… neighbourhoods of real English words, repeated exposure to nonwords does not necessarily improve memory based on orthography, and the addition of semantic content offers very little effect in improving memory for novel brand names (i.e., novel nonwords). This information forms the basis …

The Influence of Sustained CB1 Blockade During Adolescence on Breakpoints in a Progressive-ratio Paradigm
… is known about the developmental consequences of repeated exposure to cannabinoid antagonists. In these experiments, male Long-Evans rats were treated with SR141716A, a cannabinoid antagonist, throughout adolescence and allowed unrestricted access to food. Control groups were treated with vehicle …

Sensation Seeking and a Real World Stressor: Endocrine and Physiological Effects
… differences between the groups, indicating that repeated exposure to the stressor did not habituate this system. We provided evidence that the stress response systems instantiate novelty and risk to motivate and reward behavioral expressions of the SS trait.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus and the brain: influence of clinical complications and genetic factors on brain structure and cognitive function
… commonly complicates insulin therapy and repeated exposure may be detrimental to the brain. Microvascular disease, manifest as retinopathy, neuropathy or nephropathy, frequently complicates diabetes, the risk being related to long-term glucose control and increasing disease duration. …

The effect of television viewing on college students : an EEG analysis of cerebral asymmetry
… that "EEG alpha levels will increase with repeated exposure to televised commercials." The significance of this finding is that it contrasts sharply with earlier research and indicates that repeated viewing of the same commercial results in an erosion of the viewer's interest.</p>

Artificial gravity : evaluation of adaptation to head movements during short-radius centrifugation using subjective measures
… hypothesis for the experiment was as follows: Repeated exposure to a series of yaw head movements made during short-radius centrifugation at 23rpm, (with the subject lying supine and the head on the axis of rotation) will result in a decrease in the magnitude of inappropriate perceived …

A global framework for scene gist
… properties can be perceived with less image exposure than the computation of a scene's basic-level category. Finally, in Chapter 3, I explore aftereffects to adaptation to global properties, showing that repeated exposure to many global properties produces robust high-level aftereffects, thus …

The metacognitive cue of fluency on taste perception
… For example, an increase in fluency through repeated exposure to product packages enhances attitude toward the brand (Janiszewski 1993). This thesis examined the effect of fluency on taste perception and demonstrated where the fluency created an advantage or disfluency created a disadvantage …

A framework for understanding the factors that influence spectators' recall and recognition of embedded sponsorship stimuli
… attended over the course of the season (i.e., repeated exposure to sponsorship stimuli), spectators' level of involvement with the event, and spectators' level of involvement with the advertisements (i.e., perimeter signage). This study also examined the differences between recall and …
