Abstract:

The aim of the present thesis was to examine the cognitive and attentional processing of smoking-related stimuli in abstinent, active and non-smokers. The initial research reported here is directed at establishing appropriate experimental and questionnaire materials for the main studies. This included the development of a valid list of smoking-related words with frequency-matched controls, and revising the Smoking Motivation Questionnaire based on analyses of structure and reliability. Generalised cognitive biases were assessed through a series of modified Stroop experiments. Although the find

This effect, proposed by Elliot et al., (2007), proposes that in an achievement context (i.e. one with a pass or fail outcome) red stimuli evoke avoidance moti

Abstract:

Research shows that smokers compared to non-smokers preferentially attend to smoking-related stimuli relative to neutral stimuli, referred to as cognitive bias. The hallmark measures employed to assess cognitive bias are the visual probe and modified Stroop tasks. Using these tasks, Experiment 1 established a model of cognitive bias by comparing non- smokers (NS), weekly smokers (WS) and daily smokers (DS). DS on the visual probe task exhibited cognitive bias to smoking-related pictures, suggesting bias operates as a linear function of nicotine dependence. Following this, the effects of a nico

Because event-related potentials (ERPs) can reflect individual differences in intellectual ability, individual differences in college grade-point average (GPA) may be associated with specific individual ERP waves, such as the P300.

In this regard, our objective was to determine whether differences in GPA are reflected in ERPs while standardling for sex and menstrual phase.

In the present experiment, I investigated the influence of attentional window size on accuracy of encoding hierarchical stimuli at the global and local level.

Au cours de cette thèse, nous nous sommes demandé si certains stimuli visuels pouvaient avoir une valence émotionnelle universelle chez les vertébrés. Une première série d’expériences a été réalisée en laboratoire sur diverses espèces d’oiseaux. Au terme de ces expériences, un stimulus visuel en particulier a pu être identifié : lors de sa diffusion ce stimulus a induit 1) des retraits/envols rapides (i.e. environ 2 secondes après le début de la diffusion) chez une majorité d’individus ; 2) un changement de trajectoire d’un groupe d’oiseaux en vol, et 3) a gardé une valence émotionnelle négati

Abstract:

Se déplacer selon un but déterminé est une activité courante de la vie quotidienne. Des capacités cognitives variées sont associées aux déplacements, comme la navigation, la mémoire ou encore l’orientation spatiale. De nombreux patients cérébro-lésés ou atteints par une maladie neuro-dégénérative présentent des difficultés topographiques qui retentissent sur leur autonomie en vie quotidienne. Les outils de réalité virtuelle permettent d’évaluer la navigation et la mémoire spatiale à grande échelle, avec une bonne corrélation entre cette évaluation et celle qui serait réalisée dans un environne

Abstract:

Previous studies have shown that old adults perform more poorly on the classic Sperling partial report task than do young adults. In this study, the researcher examined whether age differences in performance could be accounted for by changes in visual and perceptual ability. Eighteen old adults (M = 70 years) and 18 young adults (M = 22 years) were administered whole and partial report trials with stimulus durations of 150 ms; a second group of 18 young adults was tested with stimulus durations of 30 ms. Stimuli were presented at two levels of contrast (98 and 44 percent) and the partial repor

Bibliography: p. 209-233. Over the last 50 years, psychologists have developed a range of frameworks for similarity modelling, along with a large number of numerical techniques for extracting mental representations from empirical data. This thesis is concerned with the psychological theories used to account for similarity judgements, as well as the mathematical and statistical issues that surround the numerical problem of finding appropriate representations. It discusses, evaluates, and further develops three widely-adopted approaches to similarity modelling: spatial, featural and tree represe

Abstract:

Le concept de fraîcheur a été récemment étudié en sciences du consommateur en raison de sa dimension hédonique influençant les préférences des consommateurs. Les études antérieures ont conclu que la fraîcheur pouvait résulter d’une intégration multisensorielle des signaux olfactifs, gustatifs, trigéminaux, visuels et auditifs. Dans les boissons, la fraîcheur est également complexe au niveau sémantique puisqu'elle peut avoir des significations différentes. La plupart des études se sont concentrées sur les attentes des consommateurs à partir de données déclaratives. Compte tenu de la complexité
