Relationship between education in the Welsh medium and self-esteem for primary Cymreag and English speakers
“Words, words, words”
Professionals' perceptions of ASD and its care system, its associated behaviours, and experience of reactions to ASD, in Bangladesh, Indonesia, and UK were explored. Thirty-seven semi-structured interviews explored professionals’ experiences. Similarity, rather than difference, characterised these responses, and resources, rather than cultural beliefs, were a key issue. Any differences were related to the conception of ASD, with professionals in …
Social media dependency, depression and self-esteem for Cymraeg and English-speaking adolescents
The current study examined the effects of speaking a minority language (i.e. speaking the Welsh language in Wales) on the relationship between social media usage, social media dependency [SMD], depression and self-esteem for adolescents using both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs. 1709 pupils (844 primary Cymraeg-speakers [i.e. people who primarily speak the Welsh language]; 865 primary English-speakers) at secondary schools in Wales were…
Reliability and generality of the novel pop-out effect following passive pre-exposure to array items
Novel pop-out refers to the relative ease in locating an unfamiliar target against a background of familiar distractors in visual search tasks. For instance, when one novel item is presented along with three familiar items, it is located faster than when the target is itself familiar, or when all items are novel or familiar. However, the reliability and generality of the novel pop-out effect has been questioned. Three experiments with human parti…
Remediating rigid rule-following in subclinical obsessive-compulsive disorder using a brief mindfulness task
A pioneering experiment by Hayes et al. (1986) demonstrated the influence of instructional control and rule-governed behaviour on sensitivity to alternating reinforcement schedules. Hassoulas et al. (2017) replicated the same experimental design in a sample of participants exhibiting obsessive-compulsive behavioural (OCB) traits, supporting the results reported by the original study but also providing further insights into the maintenance of rigi…
Eye-Gaze Training Does Not Impact Performance on a Nonverbal Test of Reading Abilities for Children with Special Educational Needs
Many individuals in special education have difficulty with language, and little is known about their reading abilities due to challenges presented for assessment. A nonverbal word recognition test based was developed by Measuring the word recognition abilities of children who are (2019), which proved more sensitive than traditional reading tests. The current Experiment 1 replicated that result for children in special education, and noted that the…
Differences in Executive Functioning for children with additional learning needs and Autism Spectrum Disorder or Attachment Disorder
This study explored overlaps in diagnosis and characteristics of children (9–16 years old) with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attachment Disorder (AD) as they related to Executive Function (EF) to determine whether differences in EF would differentiate between the two conditions. A sample of 79 pupils with comorbid learning disabilities was examined in terms of their clinical diagnoses and psychometric traits, as well as on four EF tasks (WC…
Breaking Down Barriers
Autonomous/intrinsic exercise motivation has been found to be negatively linked with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptomatology, but it is unclear how this might be expressed in terms of different determinants of exercise (barriers/facilitators) to Physical Exercise (PE). Additionally, ADHD symptomatology has been found to be linked with increased Exercise Dependence (ED) risk, meaning the relationship between these determinan…
Impact of social media use on executive function
Associations between digital dependency and cognition have not received the same attention as emotional and effects, and an area of importance in this regard is Executive Functioning (EF) as there are theoretical debates regrading whether impulse control is a key aspect of functioning for digital dependency. Three experiments examined associations between social media addiction (SMA) and everyday memory (Experiment 1), EF tasks using neutral stim…
Social Media Use as an Impulsive ‘Escape From Freedom’
It has been suggested that avoiding choice represents an anxiety-avoidance strategy, which has not been investigated in the context of social media. To this end, the current study explored the relationship between social media dependency and a preference for 'forced' choice, along with its association with anxiety, intolerance of uncertainty, and experiential avoidance. The sample comprised 151 volunteer participants (18-32 years) who completed a…
Individual differences in proactive interference in rats (Rattus Norvegicus)
Individual differences in behaviors are seen across many species, and investigations have focused on traits linked to aggression, risk taking, emotionality, coping styles, and differences in cognitive systems. The current study investigated whether there were individual differences in proactive interference tasks in rats (Rattus Norvegicus), and tested hypotheses suggesting that these tasks should load onto a single factor and there should be clu…
Perceptions of linguistic parity on social media
This thematic analytic qualitative study used participants’ oral narratives to examine primary Cymraeg, which is the Welsh language, and English-speaking adolescents’ perceptions regarding Cymraeg-speakers’ opportunities of using their primary language on social media. Twenty-three participants were interviewed (two Welsh/Bilingual-medium schools: males = 5, females = 6; two English-medium schools: males = 6, females = 6). All of the Welsh/Biling…
Social Media Users Potentially Experience Different Withdrawal Symptoms to Non-social Media Users
Age effects on the development of stimulus over-selectivity are mediated by cognitive flexibility and selective attention
Stimulus over-selectivity is said to have occurred when only a limited subset of the total number of stimuli present during discrimination learning controls behavior, thus, restricting learning about the range, breadth, or all features of a stimulus. The current study investigated over-selectivity of 100 typically developing children, aged 3–7 (mean = 65.50 ± 17.31 SD months), using a visual discrimination task. Developmental trends in over-selec…
Impact of Diagnostic Practices on the Self-Reported Health of Mothers of Recently Diagnosed Children with ASD
Care is needed to help mothers through the diagnostic process with regard to their own functioning. Providing information and help sources throughout the process, while keeping the number of professionals involved to a minimum, may improve the parent perception of the process and reduce the negative impacts of the diagnosis on the family as a whole
A comparative study of the impact of mainstream and special school placement on the behaviour of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
The current study examined the impact of school placement in mainstream or special settings on the behavioural functioning of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Children were assessed at the start of the school year and then again at the end of the school year using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale. Children with ASD made improvements in both types of placements; however, those chil…
