Expanding Talent Search Procedures by Including Measures of Spatial Ability: CTY's Spatial Test Battery

The importance of spatial ability for success in a variety of domains, particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), is widely acknowledged. Yet, students with high spatial ability are rarely identified, as Talent Searches for academically talented students focus on identifying high mathematical and verbal abilities. Consequently, students with high spatial abilities who do not also have high math or verbal abilities may not qualify. In an effort to identify students with spatial talent, the Center for Talented Youth developed a Spatial Test Battery to supplement its mathematical and verbal Talent Searches. This article traces the development of the battery; describes its components, important psychometric properties, and continuing development; and encourages its use by researchers and educators interested in developing spatial talent.

恐惧情绪在广告创意中的运用

恐惧是个人企图摆脱、逃避某种情境时的情绪体验，当一个人不知如何击退威胁、摆脱危险时，就会感到恐惧。这种情况一般是由缺乏处理可怕情况的力量所引起的，也即人在无法及时对问题进行解决时而产生的情绪。恐惧式的广告就是将产生恐惧的源头事件在作品中展现出来，使接受者产生“如何解决这一问题”的疑问，也即促使他们产生一定的恐惧感，再将要推销的产品或观念作为一种解决方案提出的创意方式。     

情绪调节策略对篮球运动员决策的影响——工作记忆容量的调节作用

目的:探讨情绪调节策略、视觉-空间工作记忆容量和言语工作记忆容量对篮球运动员决策准确性和速度的影响。方法:研究参与者为47名国内某体育大学篮球专项男运动员,年龄18~22岁,运动等级均为二级以上。研究包括2个实验:实验1探讨情绪调节策略及视觉-空间工作记忆容量对决策的影响,为情绪调节策略(2)×视觉-空间工作记忆容量(2)×决策任务(2)的混合实验设计;实验2探讨情绪调节策略及言语工作记忆容量对决策的影响,为情绪调节策略(2)×言语工作记忆容量(2)×决策任务(2)的混合实验设计。结果:进行重复测量方差分析,发现:视觉-空间工作记忆容量与情绪调节策略在决策反应时上交互作用显著;言语工作记忆容量与情绪调节策略在决策反应时上交互作用显著;高言语工作记忆容量组反应时显著高于低容量组。结论:情绪调节策略、工作记忆容量是影响篮球运动员决策的重要因素;情绪调节策略对决策的影响因视觉-空间工作记忆容量的不同而变化;言语工作记忆容量对篮球运动员决策的影响因情绪调节策略的不同而变化。     

Impact of product involvement,message format,and receiver sex on the efficacy of comparative advertising messages

Although comparative advertising accounts for nearly half of all television commercial messages, much remains to be learned about its use and effectiveness. This investigation probed the role and impact of receiver involvement in product class, comparative message format, and receiver sex on the relative effectiveness of comparative advertising messages. The results indicate that females and males respond uniquely to comparative advertising, revealing consistent patterns regarding both circumstances and approaches. The findings of this study suggest important nuances for advertising professionals in their efforts to design and to target comparative messages.

Mind wandering,control failures,and social media distractions in online learning

Mind wandering often leads to performance and accuracy errors during activities that are demanding and require concentration. Students are often asked to concentrate on demanding tasks in their studies, and by the nature of this principle, off-task thinking would inherently be prohibitive to their success. Further, the distracting nature of social media and technology may greatly increase the likelihood of mind wandering when students are engaged in online learning, requiring them to engage with said technology. To examine the relationships among working memory, interest, mind wandering and performance, 126 participants from at a large Midwestern state university completed three complex span tasks, responded to mind-wandering probes while watching two online lectures and rated interest in the lecture topics. Higher levels of mind wandering predicted lower levels of academic performance. Lower levels of working memory capacity predicted higher levels of mind wandering and lower levels of academic performance. Higher levels of topic interest predicted lower levels of mind wandering. A novel mind wandering probe, thinking about or using another technology, accounted for 29% of all off-task thinking.     

图档博与大学合作共建各地“城市记忆”

[目的/意义] 探讨在保护城市文脉和留存集体记忆的背景下如何有效建设"城市记忆"，包括如何拓展建设主体、构建协作平台、使"城市记忆"建设与研究可持续，为我国"城市记忆"建设提供更多新思路。[方法/过程] 基于对国外代表性"城市记忆"项目的网络调查、文献调查以及对国内主要"城市记忆"项目的实地调查和电话调查，发现我国"城市记忆"建设目前面临资源采集人力不足、多方协作平台缺失，建设和研究不可持续等问题，从而提出了拓展建设主体的诉求。[结果/结论] 将建设主体从图档博拓展到大学，可以充分利用大学生群体这一人力资源优势进行更广泛持久的资源采集，依托大学的多学科优势可以搭建有利于资源整合的多方协作平台，依托大学持续的教学科研活动可以保障记忆项目建设的可持续发展。
