Crowdsourced Data Collection Opens New Avenues for the Behavioral Sciences to Impact Real-World Applications
The behavioral sciences have had great success in their study of the mechanisms that drive behavior. However, they have had less impact on applied settings or policy. This gap results from the very adaptability that makes human behavior useful. Adaptability implies that behavior will be highly specific to the context in which it occurs. Thus, building a bridge between the lab and application requires testing in the specific applied setting, which…
Fear generalization gradients in visuospatial attention
Fear learning can be adaptively advantageous, but only if the learning is integrated with higher-order cognitive processes that impact goal-directed behaviors. Recent work has demonstrated generalization (i.e., transfer) of conditioned fear across perceptual dimensions and conceptual categories, but it is not clear how fear generalization influences other cognitive processes. The current study investigated how associative fear learning impacts hi…
Differences in multiple‐target visual search performance between non‐professional and professional searchers due to decision‐making criteria
Professional visual searches, such as those conducted by airport security personnel, often demand highly accurate performance. As many factors can hinder accuracy, it is critical to understand the potential influences. Here, we examined how explicit decision‐making criteria might affect multiple‐target search performance. Non‐professional searchers (college undergraduates) and professional searchers (airport security officers) classified trials a…
