| right parietal source in mahjong-induced seizure: a system epilepsy of focal origin. | mahjong, a game similar to bridge and chess in western cultures, can cause reflex seizure. we report a case of mahjong-induced seizures with the first documentation of ictal electroencephalography (eeg) findings, which showed secondarily generalized partial seizure of the right parietal origin. | 2016 | 27761244 |
| experts' memory superiority for domain-specific random material generalizes across fields of expertise: a meta-analysis. | experts' remarkable ability to recall meaningful domain-specific material is a classic result in cognitive psychology. influential explanations for this ability have focused on the acquisition of high-level structures (e.g., schemata) or experts' capability to process information holistically. however, research on chess players suggests that experts maintain some reliable memory advantage over novices when random stimuli (e.g., shuffled chess positions) are presented. this skill effect cannot be ... | 2017 | 27770253 |
| intentions to cheat: ajzen's planned behavior and goal-related personality facets. | this study sought to test antecedents to college students' intentions to cheat by utilizing ajzen's ( 1991 ) theory of planned behavior (tpb), and four goal-related personality facets. those facets were behavioral approach, behavioral inhibition, need for achievement-hope of success, and need for achievement-fear of failure. as hypothesized, perceived friends' and parents' attitudes toward academic dishonesty (two subjective norms) and perceived ease of cheating (perceived behavioral control) al ... | 2017 | 27786598 |
| time to decide: diurnal variations on the speed and quality of human decisions. | human behavior and physiology exhibit diurnal fluctuations. these rhythms are entrained by light and social cues, with vast individual differences in the phase of entrainment - referred as an individual's chronotype - ranging in a continuum between early larks and late owls. understanding whether decision-making in real-life situations depends on the relation between time of the day and an individual's diurnal preferences has both practical and theoretical implications. however, answering this q ... | 2017 | 27788402 |
| spectrally-presaturated modulation (spm): an efficient fat suppression technique for steam-based cardiac imaging sequences. | stimulated-echo acquisition mode (steam) is a key pulse sequences in mri in general, and in cardiac imaging in particular. fat suppression is an important feature in cardiac imaging to improve visualization and eliminate off-resonance and chemical-shift artifacts. nevertheless, fat suppression comes at the expense of reduced temporal resolution and signal-to-noise ratio (snr). the purpose of this study is to develop an efficient fat suppression method (spectrally-presaturated modulation) for ste ... | 2017 | 27826082 |
| changing the engineering student culture with respect to academic integrity and ethics. | engineers create airplanes, buildings, medical devices, and software, amongst many other things. engineers abide by a professional code of ethics to uphold people's safety and the reputation of the profession. likewise, students abide by a code of academic integrity while learning the knowledge and necessary skills to prepare them for the engineering and computing professions. this paper reports on studies designed to improve the engineering student culture with respect to academic integrity and ... | 2016 | 27830482 |
| perceptions toward a smoking cessation app targeting lgbtq+ youth and young adults: a qualitative framework analysis of focus groups. | the prevalence of smoking among lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and other sexual minority (lgbtq+) youth and young adults (yya) is significantly higher compared with that among non-lgbtq+ persons. however, in the past, interventions were primarily group cessation classes that targeted lgbtq+ persons of all ages. mhealth interventions offer an alternate and modern intervention platform for this subpopulation and may be of particular interest for young lgbtq+ persons. | 2016 | 27864164 |
| catching fakes: new markers of urine sample validity and invalidity. | urine drug testing is common for workplace drug testing, prescription management, emergency medicine and the criminal justice system. unsurprisingly, with the significant consequences based upon the results of urine drug testing, a donor in need of concealing the contents of their sample is highly motivated to cheat the process. procedures and safeguards ensuring sample validity are well known, and include measuring sample temperature at the time of collection, and laboratory measurements of cre ... | 2017 | 27881620 |
| cheating is never okay, but we shouldn't be too quick to judge. | it is easy to rush to judgement about students who cheat in their exams or buy essays on the internet. such activities can never be condoned and those who succumb to temptation must suffer the consequences, which can involve being removed from their courses. | 2016 | 27897748 |
| robustness and plasticity in development. | like the game of chess, the overall development of human behavior is highly regulated, and also many finer points of any particular individual life depend on early moves. the robust mechanisms that make species different from each other also impact processes that make individuals distinct from one another. children both influence their environment and are influenced by it. as the development of any particular skill depends upon the contribution of particular environmental inputs at particular ti ... | 2017 | 27906506 |
| computations underlying social hierarchy learning: distinct neural mechanisms for updating and representing self-relevant information. | knowledge about social hierarchies organizes human behavior, yet we understand little about the underlying computations. here we show that a bayesian inference scheme, which tracks the power of individuals, better captures behavioral and neural data compared with a reinforcement learning model inspired by rating systems used in games such as chess. we provide evidence that the medial prefrontal cortex (mpfc) selectively mediates the updating of knowledge about one's own hierarchy, as opposed to ... | 2016 | 27930904 |
| laboratory notes from behavioral pharmacologists and trainees: considerations for the discipline. | in several laboratory meetings, we discussed the challenges that face trainees in behavioral pharmacology. major concerns, such as a difficult funding climate and limited academic job prospects were discussed at first. however, we decided to concentrate on ways to meet these challenges; versus focusing on negatives and listing gripes. within this more constructive framework, we identified the importance of broadening training to aligned areas to enhance the capacity of behavioral pharmacologists ... | 2016 | 27942577 |
| the effect of bundling medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction with mhealth: study protocol for a randomized clinical trial. | opioid dependence has devastating and increasingly widespread consequences and costs, and the most common outcome of treatment is early relapse. people who inject opioids are also at disproportionate risk for contracting the human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) and hepatitis c virus (hcv). this study tests an approach that has been shown to improve recovery rates: medication along with other supportive services (medication-assisted treatment, or mat) against mat combined with a smartphone innovati ... | 2016 | 27955689 |
| prospective associations between problematic eating attitudes in midchildhood and the future onset of adolescent obesity and high blood pressure. | clinically diagnosed eating disorders may have adverse cardiometabolic consequences, including overweight or obesity and high blood pressure. however, the link between problematic eating attitudes in early adolescence, which can lead to disordered eating behaviors, and future cardiometabolic health is, to our knowledge, unknown. | 2017 | 27974308 |

| a study of memory effects in a chess database. | a series of recent works studying a database of chronologically sorted chess games-containing 1.4 million games played by humans between 1998 and 2007- have shown that the popularity distribution of chess game-lines follows a zipf's law, and that time series inferred from the sequences of those game-lines exhibit long-range memory effects. the presence of zipf's law together with long-range memory effects was observed in several systems, however, the simultaneous emergence of these two phenomena ... | 2016 | 28005922 |
| molecular chess? hallmarks of anti-cancer drug resistance. | the development of resistance is a problem shared by both classical chemotherapy and targeted therapy. patients may respond well at first, but relapse is inevitable for many cancer patients, despite many improvements in drugs and their use over the last 40 years. | 2017 | 28056859 |
| a thematic content analysis of #cheatmeal images on social media: characterizing an emerging dietary trend. | despite the pervasive social endorsement of "cheat meals" within pro-muscularity online communities, there is an absence of empirical work examining this dietary phenomenon. the present study aimed to characterize cheat meals, and explore the meaning ascribed to engagement in this practice. thematic content analysis was employed to code the photographic and textual elements of a sample (n = 600) that was extracted from over 1.6 million images marked with the #cheatmeal tag on the social networki ... | 2017 | 28075492 |
| when words were wanted, but woefully wanting, we waged war with chess(). | what do you say to a child who rarely speaks? how do you work with such a youngster? what are the sine qua nons or guiding principles upon which analysts can draw? and, how do we know if we are being helpful? sam was 9-years when i began treating him. he was extremely withdrawn and rarely spoke more than a few words. instead, he mainly played chess. i did not know at first whether sam's taciturn demeanor was due to shyness, limited verbal abilities, or the stultifying effects of trauma. fortuito ... | 2016 | 28077845 |

| when it pays to cheat: examining how generalized food deception increases male and female fitness in a terrestrial orchid. | experimental manipulations of floral nectar in food deceptive species can reveal insights into the evolutionary consequences of the deceptive strategy. when coupled to pollen tracking, the effects of the deceptive pollination syndrome on both male and female reproductive success may be quantified. attraction of pollinators in deceit-pollinated species often relies on producing a conspicuous floral display which may increase visibility to pollinators, but in-turn may increase within plant selfing ... | 2017 | 28141838 |
| hip hop dance experience linked to sociocognitive ability. | expertise within gaming (e.g., chess, video games) and kinesthetic (e.g., sports, classical dance) activities has been found to be linked with specific cognitive skills. some of these skills, working memory, mental rotation, problem solving, are linked to higher performance in science, technology, math, and engineering (stem) disciplines. in the present study, we examined whether experience in a different activity, hip hop dance, is also linked to cognitive abilities connected with stem skills a ... | 2017 | 28146562 |
| an examination of how people who have lost weight communicatively negotiate interpersonal challenges to weight management. | the vast majority of americans are overweight, and those who are able to lose weight typically regain at least the amount they lost. some people are confronted with sabotage, criticism, and declines in social support during and following weight loss. however, how individuals negotiate these interpersonal barriers is not very well understood. such an understanding could help individuals maintain their weight loss while minimizing the risk of adverse health or relational consequences. thus, throug ... | 2017 | 28151017 |
| perspectives of urban ghanaian women on vasectomy. | advocacy for male involvement in family planning has been championed over the years after the 1994 international conference on population and development (icpd). there are a few contraceptive methods for men, and vasectomy uptake has been identified as one of the indicators of male involvement in family planning. vasectomy also known as male sterilization is a permanent form of contraception. it is a generally safe, quick, easy, effective surgical operation with rare complications to prevent rel ... | 2017 | 28178993 |
| increased cerebellar gray matter volume in head chefs. | chefs exert expert motor and cognitive performances on a daily basis. neuroimaging has clearly shown that that long-term skill learning (i.e., athletes, musicians, chess player or sommeliers) induces plastic changes in the brain thus enabling tasks to be performed faster and more accurately. how a chef's expertise is embodied in a specific neural network has never been investigated. | 2017 | 28182712 |
| social amoebae mating types do not invest unequally in sexual offspring. | unequal investment by different sexes in their progeny is common and includes differential investment in the zygote and differential care of the young. the social amoeba dictyostelium discoideum has a sexual stage in which isogamous cells of any two of the three mating types fuse to form a zygote which then attracts hundreds of other cells to the macrocyst. the latter cells are cannibalized and so make no genetic contribution to reproduction. previous literature suggests that this sacrifice may ... | 2017 | 28211207 |

| chess players' eye movements reveal rapid recognition of complex visual patterns: evidence from a chess-related visual search task. | to explore the perceptual component of chess expertise, we monitored the eye movements of expert and novice chess players during a chess-related visual search task that tested anecdotal reports that a key differentiator of chess skill is the ability to visualize the complex moves of the knight piece. specifically, chess players viewed an array of four minimized chessboards, and they rapidly searched for the target board that allowed a knight piece to reach a target square in three moves. on each ... | 2017 | 28265652 |
| fat suppression at 2d mr imaging of the hands: dixon method versus chess technique and stir sequence. | to compare the effectiveness of fat suppression and the signal-to-noise ratio (snr) of the dixon method with those of the chess (chemical shift-selective) technique and stir (short tau inversion recovery) sequence in hands of normal subjects at 2d mr imaging. | 2017 | 28267547 |

| does everyone have a price? on the role of payoff magnitude for ethical decision making. | most approaches to dishonest behavior emphasize the importance of corresponding payoffs, typically implying that dishonesty might increase with increasing incentives. however, prior evidence does not appear to confirm this intuition. however, extant findings are based on relatively small payoffs, the potential effects of which are solely analyzed across participants. in two experiments, we used different multi-trial die-rolling paradigms designed to investigate dishonesty at the individual level ... | 2017 | 28273518 |

| game-xp: action games as experimental paradigms for cognitive science. | why games? how could anyone consider action games an experimental paradigm for cognitive science? in 1973, as one of three strategies he proposed for advancing cognitive science, allen newell exhorted us to "accept a single complex task and do all of it." more specifically, he told us that rather than taking an "experimental psychology as usual approach," we should "focus on a series of experimental and theoretical studies around a single complex task" so as to demonstrate that our theories of h ... | 2017 | 28296290 |
| the arginine-vasotocin and serotonergic systems affect interspecific social behaviour of client fish in marine cleaning mutualism. | many species engage in mutualistic relationships with other species. the physiological mechanisms that affect the course of such social interactions are little understood. in the cleaning mutualism, cleaner fish labroides dimidiatus do not always act cooperatively by eating ectoparasites, but sometimes cheat by taking bites of mucus from so-called "client" reef fish. the physiological mechanisms in these interspecific interactions, however, are little studied. here, we focussed on three neuromod ... | 2017 | 28302574 |
| episodic future thinking about the ideal self induces lower discounting, leading to a decreased tendency toward cheating. | delay discounting refers to a pervasive tendency toward preferring smaller immediate gains over larger future gains. recent empirical research has shown that episodic future thinking (eft; i.e., projecting oneself into the future to pre-experience forthcoming events) can reduce the tendency toward discounting. a common tenet of psychological theories of crime is that delinquency results from focusing on short-term gains while failing to consider adequately the longer-term consequences of delinqu ... | 2017 | 28303111 |
| facultative non-mutualistic behaviour by an "obligate" mutualist: "cheating" by yucca moths. | the interaction between yucca moths (tegeticula spp., incurvariidae) and yuccas (yucca spp., agavaceae) is an obligate pollination/seed predation mutualism in which adult female yucca moths pollinate yuccas, and yucca moth larvae feed on yucca seeds. in this paper we document that individual yucca moths, which are capable of acting as mutualists, facultatively "cheat" by ovipositing in yucca pistils without attempting to transfer pollen. additionally, a high proportion of flowers are unlikely to ... | 1993 | 28314029 |
| allen newell's program of research: the video-game test. | newell (1973) argued that progress in psychology was slow because research focused on experiments trying to answer binary questions, such as serial versus parallel processing. in addition, not enough attention was paid to the strategies used by participants, and there was a lack of theories implemented as computer models offering sufficient precision for being tested rigorously. he proposed a three-headed research program: to develop computational models able to carry out the task they aimed to ... | 2017 | 28318146 |
| [the triumph of "stupidity" : deep blue`s victory over garri kasparov. the controversy about its impact on artficial intelligence research]. | the competition between the chess computer deep blue and the former chess world champion garri kasparov in 1997 was a spectacle staged for the media. however, the chess game, like other games, was also a test field for artificial intelligence research. on the one hand deep blue's victory was called a "milestone" for ai research, on the other hand, a dead end, since the superiority of the chess computer was based on pure computing power and had nothing to do with "real" ai.the article questions t ... | 2017 | 28389682 |
