Auditory brainstem response latency in noise as a marker of cochlear synaptopathy
… reduces the amplitude of auditory brainstem response (ABR) wave-I. Unfortunately, ABR wave-I is difficult to measure in humans, limiting its clinical use. Here, using behavioral, otoacoustic, and electrophysiological measures in humans and mice in conjunction with computational models of …

Sex-Related Alcohol Expectancies And Perceptions Of Sexual Assault: Recognition Response Latency And Blame Attribution
… sexual violence, with a particular emphasis on response latency (how quickly individuals are able to recognize assaultive behavior) and victim blame attribution. This study evaluated the relationship between AE, SRAE, and perceptions of sexual assault using an audio vignette depicting an …

Response Latency During Acquisition: A Comparison of Stimulus Presentation Algorithms in a Match-to-Sample Task
Four studies were developed to investigate response latency in a computerized fluency task with college students. The first study was exploratory, and it tracked the patterns of response latency throughout the frequency-building process. Results indicated that response latencies became more …

An examination of mindfulness and cognitive interference in American veterans of the Global War on Terrorism
… with combat-related PTSD would have longer response latencies on the task relative to participants with lower scores on a combat-related PTSD measure. This study also hypothesized that veterans in general would exhibit longer response latencies that non-veterans. This study was also …

Growth Rate and Performance Effects on Watersnakes (Nerodia Sipedon) from Dietary Exposure to Heavy Metals
… growth rates and mean sprint speeds, higher response latency, and longer righting response latency times than snakes fed a control diet. This study affirms other recent reports documenting sublethal effects of contaminants in snake populations. Further studies on performance effects are …

The process-reactive dimension and its relationship to thought disturbance in schizophrenia
… should make significantly more stronger meaning response errors on Chapman et al.'s 1964 Lexical Ambiguities Test than either reactive schizophrenics, non-psychotic psychiatric patients or normals. (3) Process schizophrenics should have significantly shorter response latency times on Chapman et …

Emerging adults’ sibling relationships and inter-sibling communication : general communication patterns and chronemic expectation violation in a text-based interaction
… sibling was required to delay each of their responses for 40s during the interaction. Among the 26 participants who noticed the delay, violation importance and valence were positively related to positive affect towards their sibling’s response latency, while violation expectedness and valence …

The Effects of Acute Psychosocial Stress on Cognitive Performance
… successful at eliciting a psychosocial stress response amongst participants. In the Stressed condition performance on the Manikin task demonstrated a reduction in response latency and an increase throughput, calculated as an accuracy-speed ratio. Performance on the Switching task also …

Identifying faking on self-report personality inventories: Relative merits of traditional lie scales, new lie scales, response patterns, and response times
… shown that individuals can, and do, fake their responses on personality inventories. Individuals may fake good, emphasizing their positive characteristics, or fake bad, emphasizing negative characteristics, in order to obtain a desired outcome. Recent research has provided support for a …

Developing the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) as a Measure of Implicit Homonegativity
… 3 & 4; Chapters 5 & 6); (c) the impact of response latency restrictions (Experiment 4 & 6; Chapters 6 & 8); (d) the moderating impact of selfreported motivation to control homonegativity on IRAP responses (Experiment 1; Chapter 3); and (e) the impact of single versus multiple labels on the …

Identification of Anxiety Endophenotypes Using Multidimensional Measures of Attention
… current study we addressed this by collecting response latency data on three basic attentional processes, (1) attentional orienting, (2) attentional disengagement, and (3) attentional control to evaluate their relationship to specific anxiety symptoms. In a final sample of 149 college …

Exploring the Role of Implicit Cognition in the Context of Disgust in Individuals With and Without a Diagnosis of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
… anxiety-inducing stimuli affected accuracy and response latency on the IRAP (n = 32). Minor changes to the IRAP procedure were not found to affect the D-IRAP score, whereas the extent to which an individual can disengage from anxiety-inducing stimuli was predictive of accuracy on the IRAP but …

The effects of speech rate, message repetition, and information placement on synthesized speech intelligibility
… message, and how confident they were of their response. The accuracy of their response, system response time, and response latency were recorded. Transcription accuracy was best for messages spoken at 150 or 180 wpm and for messages repeated either twice or three times. Words at the end of …

Exercise-Induced Modulation of Early Visual Evoked Responses: Chromatic and Achromatic Pathways
… exercise-induced modulations of visual responses have beenconstrained by (1) generalized stimuli that cannot distinguish global mechanisms from pathway- specific effects, (2) stimulus-directed tasks that may conflate exercise costs with attentional effects, and (3) traditional EEG …

EFFECTS OF SIGMA-1 RECEPTOR AGONISTS ON COMPULSIVE BEHAVIOR AND NEUROPLASTICITY
… reduced marbles buried, but did not affect response latency in the novelty suppressed feeding test. Only fluvoxamine exhibited reduced marbles buried up to 72 hrs post treatment. Dextromethorphan did not affect levels of phosphorylated mTOR. Overall, these findings lend support for novel …

Cocaine Dependence: The Role of Serotonin Genes In
<p>Animal studies have shown that behavioral responses to cocaine-related cues are altered by serotonergic medications. The effects of pharmacological agents on serotonin receptors 2a (5-HT2A) and 2c (5-HT2C), have yielded results suggesting that selective 5-HT2A antagonists and 5-HT2C agonists …

Effect of training structures on the establishment of equivalence classes in college students and individuals with intellectual disabilities
… mixed training, symmetry and equivalence test. Response accuracy and response latency were measured in both groups. The results showed that the MTO training structure was slightly more effective in establishing equivalence classes in college students. In the Experiment 2, six young adults with …

Pictures, Words, And Synonymy: Representations And Processes
… presented items. The results indicated that response latencies for synonymous word-picture pairs were significantly faster than for those pairs in the repeated condition and that those conditions were faster than the related condition. Errors in the repeated and synonymous conditions were …

The Effect of Alcohol Consumption and Alcohol Expectancy on Women's Responses to a Date Rape Analogue
… be to use particular resistance strategies in response to the fictitious date rape. Contrary to our hypothesis, participants who drank alcohol did not wait significantly longer to indicate when the man should stop his sexual advances than participants not consuming alcohol. Nor were there …

Emotional Stroop Effects: Eating Disorders and Obesity
… The control group demonstrated the shortest response latency, as compared to the eating disorder group, who took significantly longer to respond. This effect was shown regardless of valence or category of the words. Additionally, this study lends support to the Body Shape Questionnaire as a …
