Investigating the validity of the hue-heat effect on thermal sensitivity.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the validity of the hue-heat effect on the body thermal sensitivity. Previous research on thermal comfort has proposed associations between red and warmth, and blue with cold. However, inconsistencies in confirming this effect have arisen, with studies often relying on subjective scales for thermal comfort assessment, introducing potential confounding variables.

The role of vision and proprioception in self-motion encoding: An immersive virtual reality study.

Past research on the advantages of multisensory input for remembering spatial information has mainly focused on memory for objects or surrounding environments. Less is known about the role of cue combination in memory for own body location in space. In a previous study, we investigated participants' accuracy in reproducing a rotation angle in a self-rotation task.

Postpartum bonding: the impact of stressful life events during pregnancy.

Objective: We aimed to determine if and to what extent a woman's exposure to stressful life events were associated with impaired maternal bonding by using a sample of high-income Italian women.

Methods: In the second day postpartum, 425 healthy puerperae responded to Life Experiences Survey (LES), Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale (MBS), and to the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS).

Results: Analysis revealed that the stressful life events scored by LES were a significantly predictor of impaired bonding as measured by MIBS ( = 0.

Data and supplemental material of the paper "Effectiveness of digital-based interventions for children with mathematical learning difficulties: A meta-analysis".

Data and supplement material of the article "Effectiveness of digital-based interventions for children with mathematical learning difficulties: A meta-analysis" (Benavides-Varela et al.) [1] are presented. Data were collected from studies included in the meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of digital-based interventions for children with mathematical learning difficulties compared to control conditions in group-designed randomized controlled trials.

Proprioceptive accuracy in Immersive Virtual Reality: A developmental perspective.

Proprioceptive development relies on a variety of sensory inputs, among which vision is hugely dominant. Focusing on the developmental trajectory underpinning the integration of vision and proprioception, the present research explores how this integration is involved in interactions with Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) by examining how proprioceptive accuracy is affected by Age, Perception, and Environment. Individuals from 4 to 43 years old completed a self-turning task which asked them to manually return to a previous location with different sensory modalities available in both IVR and reality.

Enhancing Statistical Inference in Psychological Research via Prospective and Retrospective Design Analysis.

In the past two decades, psychological science has experienced an unprecedented replicability crisis, which has uncovered several issues. Among others, the use and misuse of statistical inference plays a key role in this crisis. Indeed, statistical inference is too often viewed as an isolated procedure limited to the analysis of data that have already been collected.
