Scholarly use of social media and altmetrics : a review of the literature
(Wiley, 2017-09)
Social media has become integrated into the fabric of the scholarly communication system in fundamental
ways: principally through scholarly use of social media platforms and the promotion of new indicators on
the basis ...
Education as a moderator of the relationship between episodic memory and amyloid load in normal aging
(Oxford University Press, 2019-10-23)
The current study explored whether education, a proxy of cognitive reserve, modifies the
association between episodic memory (EM) performance and βeta-amyloid load (Aβ), a biomarker
of Alzheimer’s disease, in a cohort ...
Amyloid burden and white matter hyperintensities mediate age-related cognitive differences
(Elsevier, 2019-08)
This study examined the additive versus synergistic contribution of beta-amyloid (Aβ) and white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) across 7 cognitive domains in 104 cognitively normal older adults. It also measured the extent ...
Only a matter of time? The role of criminal competence in avoiding arrest
(Taylor and Francis, 2016-08-17)
While prior research has shown that the probability of detection plays a role in the decision-making of many offenders, much less is known on offenders’ relative success in avoiding arrest. In this study, we draw from ...
Electrophysiological impact of multiple concussions in asymptomatic athletes: a re-analysis based on alpha activity during a visual-spatial attention task
(2017-11-22)
Most EEG studies used event-related potentials to assess long-term and cumulative effects of sport-related concussions on brain activity. Time-frequency methods provide another approach that allows the detection of subtle ...
Attachment security and developmental patterns of growth in executive functioning during early elementary school
Growth in executive functionning
(Wiley, 2017-05)
Despite the extensive research demonstrating the importance of child executive functioning (EF) for school adjustment, little longitudinal work has formally examined developmental change in EF during the early school years. ...
A MEG study of the neural substrates of semantic processing in semantic variant primary progressive aphasia
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-07-01)
Despite a well-documented pattern of semantic memory (SM) impairment, the patterns of brain
activation during semantic processing in svPPA still remain poorly understood. The current study
aimed to investigate the neural ...
The expression of genetic risk for aggressive and non-aggressive antisocial behavior is moderated by peer group
(Springer, 2015-07)
Numerous studies have shown that aggressive and non-aggressive antisocial behaviors are important precursors of later adjustment problems. There is also strong empirical evidence that both types of antisocial behavior are ...
Preliminary effects of parent-implemented behavioural interventions for stereotypy
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Objective: The purpose of our study was to replicate and extend previous research on using
multicomponent behavioural interventions designed to reduce engagement in stereotypy by
examining their effects when implemented ...
Aggressive incidents inside a Montreal barroom involving patrons, barmaids and bouncers : a micro level examination of routine activity theory
(Springer, 2015)
Objectives: This article further examines the phenomenon of aggression inside barrooms by relying on the
“bouncer-ethnographer” methodology. The objective is to investigate variations in aggression through time and
space ...
