Despite the importance of social intelligence, there are limited ways to measure this skill, especially during the teenage years. Thus, the aim of the present study was to…

  • Time Perspective, Working Memory, and Depression in Non-Clinical Samples

    Rachel K Carpenter, John C Horton et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Psychology2022

    Non-clinical depression is a major issue on college campuses, with some surveys estimating that 30% of college students have experienced a major depressive episode. One theoretical framework of depression is Zimbardo and Boyd (1999 Zimbardo, P. G., & Boyd, J. N. (1999). Putting time in perspective: A valid, reliable individual-differences metric. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 77(6), 1271–1288. [Database] https://doi.org/10.1037/00…

  • Exploring Working Memory, Self-Criticism, and Rumination as Factors Related to Self-Harm

    Open AccessRachel K Carpenter, Tracy Packiam AllowayARTICLEPsychological Reports2022

    The prevalence of self-harm and the relative emotional influences are well understood, but certain cognitive factors such as working memory, rumination, and self-criticism are not fully explored. The aim of the current study is to examine specific aspects of cognition to explore their influence on self-harming behaviors. Participants included 101 undergraduates from a British University. Factors were measured using the Center for Epidemiological …

  • Gotta catch ‘em all

    Tracy Packiam Alloway, Rachel Carpenter et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Popular Media2021

    There has been a rapid development in mixed reality technologies that integrate virtual reality and real-world perception and cognition, commonly known as augmented reality. One of the most popular augmented reality exergames is Pokémon Go, which in 2019 had more than 147 million users. Although there is a growing body of research on the benefits of exergames in improving attention, visual-spatial skills, and affect, there are very few studies lo…

  • Is it a Small World After All? Investigating the Theoretical Structure of Working Memory Cross-Nationally

    Tracy Packiam Alloway, Robert Moulder et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cognition and Culture2017References: 8

    To our knowledge, this is one of the first studies to test different theoretical models of working memory in childhood based on a computerized assessment. We tested this across several countries: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Italy, and uk . The present study addressed the wider macro-cultural context and how this impacts working memory. We used two economic indices ( gdp and ppp ) to characterize the participating countries and ranked the countries…

  • Verbal and Visuospatial Short-Term and Working Memory in Children

    Open AccessTracy Packiam Alloway, Susan Gathercole et al.ARTICLEChild Development2006

    This study explored the structure of verbal and visuospatial short-term and working memory in children between ages 4 and 11 years. Multiple tasks measuring 4 different memory components were used to capture the cognitive processes underlying working memory. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that the processing component of working memory tasks was supported by a common resource pool, while storage aspects depend on domain-specific verbal an…

  • Speak before you Think

    Tracy Packiam Alloway, Martin CorleyARTICLEJournal of Cognition and Culture2004Cited by: 1References: 6

    This study investigates the role of language on verb concepts in a cross-linguistic environment. The inflectional morphology of verbs in Tamil is contrasted with Mandarin, a language that does not explicitly reflect tense changes in the same manner as Tamil and English. In the baseline condition in experiment 1, participants were required to rate the similarity of object picture pairs; and in the experimental condition, they were asked to rate th…
