Early affective empathy, emotion contagion, and empathic concern in borderline personality disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) are theorized to experience lower cognitive empathy but heightened affective empathy. Despite meta-analyses addressing cognitive empathy, affective empathy remains unexplored. This pre-registered systematic review and meta-analysis investigated affective empathy in individuals with BPD or high BPD traits relative to healthy comparisons, using a multidimensional approach including, early affective empathy, emotion contagion, and empathic concern.

Unifying approaches to understanding capacity in change detection.

To navigate changes within a highly dynamic and complex environment, it is crucial to compare current visual representations of a scene to previously formed representations stored in memory. This process of mental comparison requires integrating information from multiple sources to inform decisions about changes within the environment. In the present article, we combine a novel systems factorial technology change detection task (Blunden et al.

Characterizing the time course of decision-making in change detection.

We propose a novel modeling framework for characterizing the time course of change detection based on information held in visual short-term memory (VSTM). Specifically, we seek to answer whether change detection is better captured by a first-order integration model, in which information is pooled from each location, or a second-order integration model, in which each location is processed independently. We diagnose whether change detection across locations proceeds in serial or parallel and how processing is affected by the stopping rule (i.

Evidence that within-dimension features are generally processed coactively.

In this paper, we examine whether information about an item's category, provided by the same dimension type presented across multiple spatial locations (which we term within-dimension features), is processed independently or pooled into a common representation. We use Systems Factorial Technology (SFT; Townsend & Nozawa, Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 39, 321-340, 1995) and fit parametric logical rule-based models to diagnose whether information processing is serial, parallel, or coactive. The present work focuses on expanding the scope of categorization response time (RT) models by synthesizing recent work in perceptual categorization with theories of visual attention.

Histological Features of the Distal Third Metacarpal Bone in Thoroughbred Racehorses, With and Without Lateral Condylar Fractures.

A detailed histopathological study of the distal third metacarpal bone of Thoroughbred racehorses was undertaken to characterize lesions observed previously on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The bones were selected and grouped on the basis of MRI features. Representative sections in different planes were processed for histopathology.
