Temperament, Development, and Personality
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 16 Số 4 - Trang 207-212 - 2007
Mary K. Rothbart
Understanding temperament is central to our understanding of development, and temperament constructs are linked to individual differences in both personality and underlying neural function. In this article, I review findings on the structure of temperament, its relation to the Big Five traits of personality, and its links to development and psychopathology. In addition, I discuss the rela...... hiện toàn bộ
Pupil Dilation Reflects the Creation and Retrieval of Memories
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 21 Số 2 - Trang 90-95 - 2012
Stephen D. Goldinger, Megan H. Papesh
It has long been known that pupils—the apertures that allow light into the eyes—dilate and constrict not only in response to changes in ambient light but also in response to emotional changes and arousing stimuli (e.g., Fontana, 1765). Charles Darwin (1872) related changes in pupil diameter to fear and other “emotions” in animals. For decades, pupillometry has been used to study cognitive...... hiện toàn bộ
The Teenage Brain
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 22 Số 2 - Trang 82-87 - 2013
B.J. Casey, Kristina Caudle
Adolescence refers to the transition from childhood to adulthood that begins with the onset of puberty and ends with successful independence from the parent. A paradox for human adolescence is why, during a time when the individual is probably faster, stronger, of higher reasoning capacity, and more resistant to disease, there is such an increase in mortality relative to childhood. This is...... hiện toàn bộ
Activities and Programs That Improve Children’s Executive Functions
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 21 Số 5 - Trang 335-341 - 2012
Adele Diamond
Executive functions (EFs; e.g., reasoning, working memory, and self-control) can be improved. Good news indeed, since EFs are critical for school and job success and for mental and physical health. Various activities appear to improve children’s EFs. The best evidence exists for computer-based training, traditional martial arts, and two school curricula. Weaker evidence, though strong eno...... hiện toàn bộ
The Role of Time in Elementary Associations
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 2 Số 4 - Trang 106-111 - 1993
Ralph R. Miller, Robert C. Barnet
Computational Versus Associative Models of Simple Conditioning
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 146-150 - 2001
C. R. Gallistel, John Gibbon
In associative models of simple conditioning, conductive connections (associations, Hebbian synapses) are strengthened by the repetitive temporal pairing of stimuli. The associations cause the animal to behave more adaptively, but they do not encode information about objectively specifiable properties of the conditioning experience. In information processing (computational) models, the te...... hiện toàn bộ
Ostracism
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 20 Số 2 - Trang 71-75 - 2011
Kipling D. Williams, Steve A. Nida
Ostracism means being ignored and excluded by one or more others. Despite the absence of verbal derogation and physical assault, ostracism is painful: It threatens psychological needs (belonging, self-esteem, control, and meaningful existence); and it unleashes a variety of physiological, affective, cognitive, and behavioral responses. Here we review the empirical literature on ostracism ...... hiện toàn bộ
Social Acceptance and Rejection
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 20 Số 4 - Trang 256-260 - 2011
C. Nathan DeWall, Brad J. Bushman
People have a fundamental need for positive and lasting relationships. In this article, we provide an overview of social psychological research on the topic of social acceptance and rejection. After defining these terms, we describe the need to belong and how it enabled early humans to fulfill their survival and reproductive goals. Next, we review research on the effects of social rejecti...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of Size on Collision Perception and Implications for Perceptual Theory and Transportation Safety
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 22 Số 3 - Trang 199-204 - 2013
Patricia R. DeLucia
People avoid collisions when they walk or drive, and they create collisions when they hit balls or tackle opponents. To do so, people rely on the perception of depth (perception of objects’ locations) and time-to-collision (perception of when a collision will occur), which are supported by different information sources. Depth cues, such as relative size, provide heuristics for relative de...... hiện toàn bộ
Culture and the Development of Self-Knowledge
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 15 Số 4 - Trang 182-187 - 2006
Qi Wang
Although a great deal of work in the past decades has shown cultural variations in self-knowledge among adults, not until recently have researchers started to examine developmental processes and mechanisms that give rise to the variations. I discuss our research on the development of two kinds of self-knowledge: autobiographical memory and self-concept. Our findings indicate that children...... hiện toàn bộ
