  • Syphilis Among U.S.-Bound Refugees, 2015 − 2018

    Open AccessShannon Fox, Priya Shah et al.ARTICLEJournal of Immigrant and Minority…2024

    We assessed syphilis screening data from overseas medical examinations among U.S.-bound refugees to characterize seropositive syphilis cases and treatment from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2018. During this time period, all refugees 15 years and older were required to undergo syphilis screening prior to resettlement to the United States. Of the 160,381 refugee arrivals who had a syphilis screening performed, 697 (434 per 100,000) were diagnos…

  • The association between different sources of distraction and symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

    Open AccessJahla Osborne, Jahla B Osborne et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    Findings support a growing body of literature linking spontaneous mind-wandering and ADHD, and they highlight the heterogeneity in the association between ADHD symptoms and different sources of distraction

  • The effect of mode of presentation on Tower of Hanoi problem solving

  • Maybe they’re born with it, or maybe it’s experience

    Shaylene E Nancekivell, Priya Shah et al.ARTICLEJournal of Educational Psychology2020

    Decades of research suggest that learning styles, or the belief that people learn better when they receive instruction in their dominant way of learning, may be one of the most pervasive myths about cognition. Nonetheless, little is known about what it means to believe in learning styles. The present investigation uses one theoretical framework—psychological essentialism—to explore the content and consistency of people’s learning style beliefs. P…

  • Investigating the Effects of Spacing on Working Memory Training Outcome

    Open AccessSusanne M Jaeggi, Martin Buschkuehl et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2019Cited by: 2References: 3

    Our findings have practical implications by showing that the variation in training schedule, at least within the range used here, does not seem to be a crucial element for training benefits

  • The effect of pressure on high- and low-working-memory students

    Open AccessZuowei Wang, Priya Shah et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Educational…2014Cited by: 1References: 16

    SampleFifty-three third and fourth graders from China participated in this study.MethodParticipants' working memory (WM) was assessed by the Automated Operation Span task. Then, they solved mental addition problems of different types under low- and high-pressure conditions. Performance was analysed as a function of pressure condition, working memory capacity, and problem type.ResultsOn 'no carry' mental addition problems, there was no difference …

  • Cultural Differences in Allocation of Attention in Visual Information Processing

    Open AccessAysecan Boduroglu, Priya Shah et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…2009Cited by: 10References: 15

    Previous research has shown that when processing visual scenes, Westerners attend to salient objects and East Asians attend to the relationships between focal objects and background elements. It is possible that cross-cultural differences in attentional allocation contribute to these earlier findings. In this article, the authors investigate cultural differences in attentional allocation in two experiments, using a visual change detection paradig…

  • How are visuospatial working memory, executive functioning, and spatial abilities related? A latent-variable analysis.

  • Models of Working Memory

    Open AccessAkira Miyake, Priti ShahEDITORBOOKModels of Working Memory1999

    Working memory is currently a 'hot' topic in cognitive psychology and neuroscience. Because of their radically different scopes and emphases, however, comparing different models and theories and understanding how they relate to one another has been a difficult task. This volume offers a much-needed forum for systematically comparing and contrasting existing models of working memory. It does so by asking each contributor to address the same compre…

  • The separability of working memory resources for spatial thinking and language processing

    Priya Shah, Priti Shah et al.ARTICLEJournal of Experimental…1996

    The current study demonstrates the separability of spatial and verbal working memory resources among college students. In Experiment 1, we developed a spatial span task that taxes both the processing and storage components of spatial working memory. This measure correlates with spatial ability (spatial visualization) measures, but not with verbal ability measures. In contrast, the reading span test, a common test of verbal working memory, correla…
