Public Engagement with Foreign Policy Using “Diplotainment: A Conceptual Exploration and Illustrative Analysis
This article advances the debate on the democratising effects of digitalisation on diplomatic contents by examining a newly emergent pathway to public engagement with foreign policy. Our analysis explores the liminal spaces in the conduct of foreign policy, focusing on the digitalisation of the statecraft practice of public diplomacy and transnational activism of late night talk-show hosts, particularly in contesting a norm-breaking turn in a sta…
Chewing gum moderates the vigilance decrement
We examine the impact of chewing gum on a Bakan-type vigilance task that requires the continual updating of short-term order memory. Forty participants completed a 30-min auditory Bakan-task either with, or without, the requirement to chew gum. Self-rated measures of mood were taken both pre- and post-task. As expected, the vigilance task produced a time-dependent performance decrement indexed via decreases in target detections and lengthened cor…
The impact of chewing gum resistance on immediate free recall
Although the facilitative effects of chewing gum on free recall have proved contentious (e.g., Tucha, Mecklinger, Maier, Hammerl, & Lange, 2004; Wilkinson, Scholey, & Wesnes, 2002), there are strong physiological grounds, for example, increased cerebral activity and blood flow following the act of mastication, to suppose facilitation. The present study manipulated resistance to mastication, that is, chewing four pellets versus one pellet of gum, …
The contrasting physiological and subjective effects of chewing gum on social stress
Chewing gum moderates multi-task induced shifts in stress, mood, and alertness. A re-examination
Chewing gum and impasse-induced self-reported stress
Chewing gum and context dependent memory: The independent roles of chewing gum and mint flavour
Chewing gum and context-dependent memory
Chewing gum and context-dependent memory: The independent roles of chewing gum and mint flavour
Two experiments independently investigated the basis of the chewing gum induced context-dependent memory effect. At learning and/or recall, participants either chewed flavourless gum (Experiment 1) or received mint-flavoured strips (Experiment 2). No context-dependent memory effect was found with either flavourless gum or mint-flavoured strips, indicating that independently the contexts were insufficiently salient to induce the effect. This is fo…
Identity’s Playground: Linking Second Language Use with Strategic Competence
This case study examines how a French immigrant of Senegalese descent negotiates his L2 identity at a multicultural and multilingual workplace environment in the United States. The article is the result of a six-month qualitative case study in which the subject was shadowed and interviewed at his place of employment. The study explores the relationship between strategic competence and social identity and examines how the participant’s social iden…
Evidence against memorial facilitation and context-dependent memory effects through the chewing of gum
Chewing gum and context-dependent memory effects: A re-examination
Acute effects of meals, noise and nightwork
An experimental study of the acute effects of meals, noise and nightwork showed that there was a post-meal impairment in detection of targets in a cognitive vigilance task. This was found both during the day and at night, although certain features of the results suggested that the day and night effects were not equivalent. Noise increased the number of false alarms but reduced the post-meal impairment in hit rate. Subjects with low levels of trai…
