While in severe cases global processing deficits are evident as simultanagnosia, subtle impairments may be present early, as in patients with multi-domain mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The aim of the present study is to provide norms for the Computerized Open-Source Navon Test (COSNaT), which has already been validated in clinical populations. After a baseline that requires identifying large and small standard letters, the test measures the ability to identify the global and local levels of incongruent Navon's hierarchical letters. A total of 200 neurologically unimpaired participants (113 F, 56.5%) with a mean age of 57.2 years (range 20-90) and a mean education of 14.1 years (range 5-28) took part in the study. The influence of demographic variables (age, education, sex) on participants' performance was evaluated using measures of errors and response times (global, local, and delta global/local). Raw scores, regression-based adjustments for age and education levels, and equivalent scores were provided for each index. The present study provides norms in the Italian population for the COSNaT, which has been shown to be sensitive in detecting global processing impairments and simultanagnosia in different clinical populations (PCA, amnestic MCI). The computerized test may contribute to a more accurate clinical characterization of the neuropsychological profile of patients with different etiologies, as well as in prodromal stages of neurodegenerative diseases.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 10","pages":"284"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145051736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Verbal data are collected using jsPsych (De Leeuw, Behavior Research Methods, 47, 1-12, 2015), making it suitable for both online and lab-based experiments. The transcription and analyses rely on classical machine-learning methods as well as deep learning approaches (e.g., large language models), making them substantially more efficient than current methods using human coders. We demonstrate how to use the software we provide in a case study via a simple memory experiment. This collection of software was designed to be modular, allowing for the update and replacement of various components with superior models, as well as the easy addition of new methods. It is our sincere hope that this approach popularizes the collection of verbal-report data in psychology experiments.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 10","pages":"285"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145051741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its communicative effects have been recently studied in more detail. However, many studies focus on just one specific feature of emotional crying, most often emotional tears, neglecting the complex nature of the expression. Reports about crying episodes observe that tears most commonly occur in combination with other features such as facial expressions, vocalizations, gestures, and varied temporal dynamics. This shortcoming in research is mostly explained by a lack of adequately controlled stimuli depicting different crying features. Here, we provide a solution for this problem by introducing the Emotional Crying Behavior Dataset (ECBD), an openly available resource of 500 videos depicting 10 actors posing variations in tear intensity, facial expression intensity, vocalizations, gestures, and temporal dynamics, and the combination thereof. We present two studies (N = 2,729) providing evidence for the validity of the dataset. In addition, we developed a static supplementary resource (ECBD-S) with 70 pictures depicting variations in tears and facial expression intensity that was successfully validated across two studies (N = 601).

There has been a rapid development of human pose estimation methods in computer vision, thanks to advances in deep learning and machine learning. However, these methods are trained on datasets that feature adults in different contexts. This work tests and compares seven popular methods (AlphaPose, DeepLabCut/DeeperCut, Detectron2, HRNet, MediaPipe/BlazePose, OpenPose, and ViTPose) on videos of infants in supine position and in more complex settings. Surprisingly, all methods except DeepLabCut and MediaPipe exhibit competitive performance without additional fine-tuning, with ViTPose performing the best. Next to standard performance metrics (average precision and recall), we introduce errors expressed in the neck-mid-hip (torso length) ratio and additionally study missing and redundant detections, and the reliability of the internal confidence ratings of the different methods, which are relevant for downstream tasks. Among the networks with competitive performance, only AlphaPose could run at close to real-time speed (27 fps) on our machine.

In this study, the participants performed a property generation task in which they were asked to list features to describe the characteristics of each given concept (e.g., for apple: <is a fruit>, <can be red>, <has seeds>). After having conducted a unification procedure of the participants' productions, we included a total of 4586 semantic features in the norms. We then computed various semantic indexes, ranging from semantic richness variables (e.g., number of features, semantic neighborhood density) to feature informativeness variables (e.g., relevance, cue validity, distinctiveness). In the end, the present semantic feature production norms are organized into four different openly available datasets, each describing a set of semantic measures: (1) concept-feature measures, (2) concept measures, (3) concept-concept matrix, and (4) feature-feature matrix. These semantic feature norms for French concepts should be a valuable tool for researchers interested in investigating normal and impaired semantic cognition.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 10","pages":"282"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145032490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent research has begun to place a greater focus on studying tasks with a continuous-response scale, as well as models that allow for decreases in caution over decision time; however, these research topics have remained separate from one another. For instance, proposed models of continuous-response scales have assumed constant caution over time, and studies investigating whether caution decreases over time have focused on binary choice tasks. One reason for this separation is the lack of methodology for estimating the parameters of the decision models with time-dependent parameters for continuous responses. This paper aims to provide a stable and efficient parameter estimation technique for hyper-spherical diffusion models with a time-dependent threshold. Here, we propose an integral equation method for estimating the first-passage time distribution of hyper-spherical diffusion models. We assessed the robustness of our method through parameter recovery studies for constant and time-dependent threshold models, with our results demonstrating efficient and precise estimates for the parameters in both situations.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 10","pages":"283"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12423271/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145032484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study expanded on the work of Pustejovsky et al. (Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 39(5), 368-393, 2014) and Chen et al.

Findings revealed that gAB's performance was improved by convergence, especially when data were non-normal. In addition, gAB's convergence improved by increasing m, within-case reliability, and ratio of variance components. When data distribution was normal, converged gAB improved with large m and large within-case reliability. When data distribution was mildly non-normal, converged gAB improved with medium to large m and small within-case reliability. When data distribution was moderately non-normal, converged gAB improved with small to medium m and small within-case reliability. Optimal m depended on data distribution and within-case reliability.

However, due to the complexity of the models, model applications are usually limited with respect to the inclusion of time-varying moderating factors on the longitudinal within-person relations between variables. That is, in common applications of multilevel time-series models, the within-person dynamics of constructs over time are regarded as being insensitive to changes in other time-varying factors or changes in contexts. We illustrate an extension of multilevel latent time-series models that incorporate latent interaction effects at the dynamic within-person level. We build on previous work that incorporated time-varying observed or latent moderator variables for the dynamic parameters in vector autoregressive models and provide a tutorial for the application of the models, implemented and estimated using Bayesian estimation via Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques. The models are illustrated by two empirical applications that investigate the temporal dynamics of negative affect, rumination, and mindful attention. The performance of different models with varying complexity is investigated via several simulation studies to provide recommendations regarding the models' applicability for applied researchers. Required sample sizes range between at least 25 time points for around 50 persons in the simplest fixed-effects models and at least 100 time points for at least 100 persons in random-effects factor models, depending on the expected effect sizes of the dynamic parameters.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 10","pages":"277"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12413427/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145005808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We introduce the Cross-Race Face Identity Triad (CR-FIT) test, designed to be challenging for individuals of varying abilities. A key methodological advantage of the CR-FIT test over other face identity matching tests is that it eliminates response bias in face-identity matching through the use of face-image triads. A triad of face images includes two images of the same person and one image of a different person; participants must select the image of the \"different\" person. A second advantage of the CR-FIT test is that it ensures comparable difficulty for face stimuli from two races (African American, AA, Caucasian, CA) by leveraging machine and human pre-screening of items. This prescreening assures that performance differences reflect own- versus other-race identity matching ability, rather than differences in stimulus set difficulty. Triads were pre-screened to be challenging based on the performance of a publicly available face-identification algorithm. Items were further screened for comparability of difficulty using the performance of AA and CA observers. The test yields a classic \"other-race effect\"- observers identify own-race faces more accurately than other-race faces, with no effect of item race. Performance for untrained participants exceeded chance, but was far below ceiling, making the test suitable for a wide range of face identity matching abilities. The CR-FIT test is publicly available in an open science platform for research purposes.","PeriodicalId":8717,"journal":{"name":"Behavior Research Methods","volume":"57 10","pages":"278"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145005869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
