Cognitive biases in nursing students' clinical decision-making: insights from high-fidelity simulation using think-aloud and observational methods

BackgroundCognitive biases are systematic errors in human reasoning that can compromise clinical decision-making (CDM) in healthcare. While extensively studied in medicine, nursing research on cognitive biases in CDM remains limited.AimThis...

The neuropsychological impact of early childhood trauma on cognitive development: A narrative review of mechanisms, outcomes, and interventions

Abstract Research indicates that early traumatic experiences can profoundly affect a child's ability to manage emotions, develop social skills, and adapt effectively. Still, the impact of trauma on children goes beyond just emotional and be...

Experience in a Climate Microworld: Influence of Surface and Structure Learning, Problem Difficulty, and Decision Aids in Reducing Stock-Flow Misconceptions

Research shows that people’s wait-and-see preferences for actions against climate change are a result of several factors, including cognitive misconceptions. The use of simulation tools could help reduce these misconceptions concerning Eart...

Stress Levels Escalate When Repeatedly Performing Tasks Involving Threats

Police work may include performing repeated tasks under the influence of psychological stress, which can affect perceptual, cognitive and motor performance. However, it is largely unknown how repeatedly performing stressful tasks physically...

Gouvernance et environnement : engagement politique, social et économique pour le présent et pour la société de demain

Les différentes formes de gouvernance environnementale bien qu’issues d’un mouvement fort et poussées par le Sommet de Rio ont produit des résultats mitigés, particulièrement depuis le début des années 90. En somme, une absence de passerell...

The effects of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation on psychological factors in athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Objective Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a safe, non-invasive neuromodulation method that delivers a low-intensity, constant direct current through electrodes positioned on the scalp. Therefore, the purpose of th...

Educational environment perception and cognitive load among physical therapy students during e-learning

Background: Understanding students' perception of the educational environment and their cognitive load in this context is crucial for optimizing the effectiveness of e-learning platforms. Objective: To compare educational environment perce...

Neural circuitry governing anxious individuals’ mis-allocation of working memory to threat

Abstract Dispositional anxiety is a trait-like phenotype that confers increased risk for a range of debilitating neuropsychiatric disorders. Like many patients with anxiety disorders, individuals with elevated levels of dispositional anxiet...

Thematic structure of clinically oriented prefrontal function assessment and intervention research: a keyword network analysis

Abstract Background The prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been extensively investigated in relation to higher-order cognition, emotional regulation, and behavioural control, particularly within clinically oriented studies addressing psychiatric s...

Contrast Sensitivity Is Associated With Chorioretinal Thickness and Vascular Density of Eyes in Simple Early-Stage High Myopia

ObjectiveTo evaluate the contrast sensitivity function (CSF), chorioretinal thickness and vascular density as well as their relationships in subjects with simple early-stage high myopia.MethodsEighty-one young subjects were enrolled in this...

Malay and Cebuano ditransitives: A minimalist perspective

In the tradition of the generative school of thought in linguistics, the Universal Grammar (UG) is in the forefront in shifting linguistics from behavioral to cognitive science making linguistics an integral part of the study of cognition (...

Psychological Components of Disease Stigma Across Illnesses: Associations with Cultural and Personal Factors

Understanding public stigma against patients (also known as disease stigma)—negative attitudes or discriminatory responses toward individuals with a disease—is essential for improving health outcomes and fostering inclusive communities. In ...

Evaluation of microhardness of residual dentin in primary molars following caries removal with conventional and chemomechanical techniques: An In vitro Study

Background: Many patients consider removal of caries to be a very unpleasant experience. Removal of caries with conventional drill is considered traumatic mainly due to fear and anxiety of children and their parents. Minimally invasive dent...

Assessment of role of PPE in preventing the spread of infection among the dental surgeons: A prospective study

Although there is easy accessibility of infection control measures and recommendation regarding the PPE, most of the dentists failed to practice appropriate infection control measures. The aim of the current survey was conducted to assess t...

Synthesis of a Pseudodisaccharide α-C-Glycosidically Linked to an 8-Alkylated Guanine

The synthesis of stable guanofosfocin analogues has attracted considerable attention in the past 15 years. Several guanofosfocin analogues mimicking the three constitutional elements of mannose, ribose, and guanine were designed and synthes...

Characterization of thermally treated polypropylene powders with wide sintering window for powder bed fusion of polymers

One key issue restricting semi-crystalline polymers to be widely applied in powder bed fusion (PBF) of polymers is lack of good powder processability, especially a wide sintering window. In this work, a thermal treatment method with mixed d...

Incorporation of Copper/Melamine Complexes in Silica Surface Andtheir Sorption Activity of Organic Dye

The efficiency and performance of supported melamine/ copper complexes, S/[CuCl2(Mel)2].2MeOH, as a new adsorbent, for the adsorptive removal of Indigo Carmine (IC) from aqueous solutions, has been evaluated with respect to several experime...

Physicochemical characterization and source apportionment of Arctic ice-nucleating particles observed in Ny-Ålesund in autumn 2019

Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) initiate primary ice formation in Arctic mixed-phase clouds (MPCs), altering cloud radiative properties and modulating precipitation. For atmospheric INPs, the complexity of their spatiotemporal variations, h...

Self-Matrix N-Doped Room Temperature Phosphorescent Carbon Dots Triggered by Visible and Ultraviolet Light Dual Modes

The synthesis of room temperature phosphorescent carbon dots (RTP-CDs) without any matrix is important in various applications. In particular, RTP-CDs with dual modes of excitation are more interesting. Here, we successfully synthesized mat...
