  • Non-random acts of kindness: Joint music making increases preschoolers’ helping and sharing with an adult

    Open AccessSara Beck, John J Rieser et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Music2022

    Research has shown that musical engagement promotes prosocial behavior in preschool-aged children under some conditions but not others. The current study tested whether an active musical interaction between a preschooler ( M age : 56 months), an experimenter, and a research assistant would result in more sharing and helping behavior than a matched, non-musical interaction, while examining the extent to which a naturalistic musical interaction act…

  • Knowing the Results of One's Own Actions Without Visual or Auditory Feedback When Walking, Throwing, and Singing

    John J Rieser, Aysu Erdemir et al.ARTICLEEcological Psychology2014

    People's actions in everyday life often occur in situations where they can see and hear the results of their actions. In this article we summarize studies where people walked without seeing, threw a ball without seeing, and sang a tune without hearing. In each case, people reported perceptual awareness of the temporally unfolding results of their actions and judged with varying degrees of accuracy how far they walked relative to their remembered …

  • Bayesian integration of spatial information

    Ken Cheng, Sara J Shettleworth et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2007

    Spatial judgments and actions are often based on multiple cues. The authors review a multitude of phenomena on the integration of spatial cues in diverse species to consider how nearly optimally animals combine the cues. Under the banner of Bayesian perception, cues are sometimes combined and weighted in a near optimal fashion. In other instances when cues are combined, how optimal the integration is might be unclear. Only 1 cue may be relied on,…

  • Concepts About the Causes of Development: Travel, Visual Experience, and the Development of Dynamic Spatial Orientation

    Open AccessJohn J RieserARTICLEInfancy2000

    “Travel broadens the mind ” is a good concept for developmental psychology. Travel is a metaphor for human experience as we explore the paths that life provides and theorize about the roles the paths play in development. The idea is one that I first learned about over dinner conversations as a child. The idea comes up over and over in literature and shaped many of us, reading Heyerdal’s (1948) The

  • Young children's spatial orientation with respect to multiple targets when walking without vision

    John J Rieser, Elizabeth A RiderARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology1991Cited by: 1References: 3

    In 4 experiments concerning spatial orientation while walking without vision, 4-year-olds and adults viewed 1 or more targets, were blindfolded, were guided to a new point of observation, and were asked to aim a pointer at the target(s). Spatial orientation was assessed as a function of the number of target objects (1, 3, or 5), the complexity of the route walked, and the time delay between last viewing the targets and responding
