  • Investigating solitude as a tool for downregulation of daily arousal using ecological momentary assessments

    Open AccessThuy‐vy Nguyen, Delali Konu et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2025Citada por: 3Referências: 44

    OBJECTIVE: This research explored arousal levels as a motivating factor for solitude-seeking. We hypothesized that solitude becomes more desirable when high-arousal emotions were heightened and individual differences in extraversion and neuroticism would moderate this pattern. METHOD: We tracked individuals' hourly experiences throughout a day. We assessed their high-arousal positive (e.g., excitement) and negative emotions (e.g., tension), wheth…

  • To Improve Literacy, Improve Equality in Education, Not Large Language Models

    Open AccessSamuel H Forbe, Olivia GuestARTICLECognitive Science2025Referências: 29

    Huettig and Christiansen in an earlier issue argue that large language models (LLMs) are beneficial to address declining cognitive skills, such as literacy, through combating imbalances in educational equity. However, we warn that this technosolutionism may be the wrong frame. LLMs are labor intensive, are economically infeasible, and pollute the environment, and these properties may outweigh any proposed benefits. For example, poor quality air d…

  • Teaching coding inclusively

    Open AccessOlivia Guest, Samuel H ForbeARTICLETijdschrift voor Genderstudies2024

    We present our stance on teaching programming with the aim of increasing reflexivity amongst university educators through dissecting and destroying pervasive anti-pedagogical gendered framings. From the so-called male geek trope that dominates Global North/Western perceptions of technology to the actively anti-feminist stances such demographics espouse: programming has a sexism problem. Herein, we touch on how and why programming is so gendered i…

  • Stunting in infancy is associated with atypical activation of working memory and attention networks

    Open AccessSobanawartiny Wijeakumar, Samuel H Forbe et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2023Citada por: 1Referências: 53

    Stunting is associated with poor long-term cognitive, academic and economic outcomes, yet the mechanisms through which stunting impacts cognition in early development remain unknown. In a first-ever neuroimaging study conducted on infants from rural India, we demonstrate that stunting impacts a critical, early-developing cognitive system-visual working memory. Stunted infants showed poor visual working memory performance and were easily distracti…

  • An Adaptation of the MacArthur-Bates CDI in 17 Arabic Dialects for Children Aged 8 to 30 Months

    Open AccessAlshaimaa Gaber Salah Abdelwahab, Samuel H Forbe et al.ARTICLELanguage Learning and Development2021

    Assessing a child’s language in the early years is critical to plan for an early intervention and maximize their learning potential. In a unique pan-Arabic approach to language development, we developed a new Arabic assessment tool, usable by parents and Early Years professionals to screen vocabulary in children between 8 months and 30 months across 17 Arab countries. Departing from the two relevant original Communicative Development Inventory fo…

  • The development of contour processing abilities in the second year

    Samuel H Forbe, Kim PlunkettARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2021Referências: 2

    Recent years have seen a rise in the popularity of eye-tracking methods to evaluate infant and toddler interpretation of visual stimuli. The application of these methods makes it increasingly important to understand the development of infant sensitivity to the perceptual properties implicated in such methods. In light of recent studies that demonstrate the use of pseudoisochromatic plates in testing infants for color vision, we investigated the p…

  • Linguistic and Cultural Variation in Early Color Word Learning

    Open AccessSamuel H Forbe, Kim PlunkettARTICLEChild Development2020

    When and how do infants learn color words? It is generally supposed that color words are learned late and with a great deal of difficulty. By examining infant language surveys in British English and 11 other languages, this study shows that color word learning occurs earlier than has been previously suggested and that the order of acquisition of color words is similar in related languages. This study also demonstrates that frequency and syllabic …

  • Infants show early comprehension of basic color words

    Samuel H Forbe, Kim PlunkettARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2019Citada por: 2Referências: 3

    Previous research has highlighted the difficulty that infants have in learning to use color words. Even after acquiring the words themselves, infants are reported to use them incorrectly, or overextend their usage. We tested 146 infants from 5 different age groups on their knowledge of 6 basic color words, red, green, yellow, blue, black, and white, using an intermodal preferential looking task. The results showed that infants show reliable compr…
