How are medical students learning to care for patients with intellectual disabilities? A scoping review
BackgroundIndividuals with intellectual disabilities experience barriers to quality healthcare. To reduce this disparity, equipping medical trainees with the knowledge and skills required for treating this patient population is critical. Our aim is to describe the breadth of instructional interventions and identify gaps in intellectual disability m...
Consolidation Enhances Sequential Multistep Anticipation but Diminishes Access to Perceptual Features.
Many experiences unfold predictably over time. Memory for these temporal regularities enables anticipation of events multiple steps into the future. Because temporally predictable events repeat over days, weeks, and years, we must maintain-and potentially transform-memories of temporal structure to support adaptive behavior. We explored how individ...
A library for innovative category exemplars (ALICE) database: Streamlining research with printable 3D novel objects
This paper introduces A Library for Innovative Category Exemplars (ALICE) database, a resource that enhances research efficiency in cognitive and developmental studies by providing printable 3D objects representing 30 novel categories. Our research consists of three experiments to validate the novelty and complexity of the objects in ALICE. Experim...
Identifying high school risk factors that forecast heavy drinking onset in understudied young adults
...
Heavy alcohol drinking is a major, preventable problem that adversely impacts the physical and mental health of US young adults. Studies seeking drinking risk factors typically focus on young adults who enrolled in 4-year residential college programs (4YCP) even though most high school graduates join the workforce, military, or community colleges. ...
Calcium plays an essential role in early-stage dendrite injury detection and regeneration
Dendrites are injured in a variety of clinical conditions such as traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries and stroke. How neurons detect injury directly to their dendrites to initiate a pro-regenerative response has not yet been thoroughly investigated. Calcium plays a critical role in the early stages of axonal injury detection and is also indisp...
Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 Alleviated Sevoflurane-Induced Developmental Neurotoxicity via Microgli...
Sevoflurane induces developmental neurotoxicity in mice; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is essential for microglia-mediated synaptic refinement during the early stages of brain development. We explored the effects of TREM2 on dendritic spine pruning during sevoflurane-indu...
Towards a global developmental science
On (Im)Patience: A New Approach to an Old Virtue.
Academic abstractPatience has been of great interest to religious scholars, philosophers, and psychological scientists. Their efforts have produced numerous insights but no cohesive theoretical approach to understanding the broad set of experiences people label as patience. I propose a novel view of patience, one that departs from but ties together...
Do Multimodal Large Language Models and Humans Ground Language Similarly?
Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have been criticized for failing to connect linguistic meaning to the world—for failing to solve the “symbol grounding problem.” Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) offer a potential solution to this challenge by combining linguistic representations and processing with other modalities. However, much is s...
