The differential outcomes procedure (DOP) is an easily applicable method for enhancing discriminative learning and recognition memory. Its effectiveness in improving the recognition of facial expressions of emotion has been recently explored, with mixed success. This study aims to explore whether the expectancies generated via the DOP are reflected as differences in event-related potentials (ERPs) between participants in differential (DOP) or non-differential conditions (NOP) in a facial expression of complex emotion label task.

Article Synopsis
- Research indicates that individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) struggle with recognizing facial expressions of emotions, and their relatives may experience milder similar challenges, known as the Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP).
- The study used a Differential Outcomes Procedure (DOP) to assess emotion recognition in both adults with ASD and their relatives, finding that the ASD group performed worse than the BAP group in recognizing fear.
- Results emphasized the need to consider various autism dimensions in research and showed that both groups needed lower intensity levels to identify emotions through DOP, suggesting it may help improve emotion recognition skills.
Evaluate the prevalence and severity of caries in permanent teeth and their association with the treatment needs of 8-12-year-old Mexican schoolchildren.

Despite their significant role as vectors, the distribution of Culicoides species in non-farmland habitats remains largely unknown. We conducted a study to assess the species community composition, abundance, and host feeding patterns of Culicoides biting midges in urban ecosystems in northern Spain.
