Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior01:28

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

252
Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...

Introduction to z Scores01:06

Introduction to z Scores

11.2K
A z score (or standardized value) is measured in units of the standard deviation. It tells you how many standard deviations the value x is above (to the right of) or below (to the left of) the mean, μ. Values of x that are larger than the mean have positive z scores, and values of x that are smaller than the mean have negative z scores. If x equals the mean, then x has a zero z score. It is important to note that the mean of the z scores is zero, and the standard deviation is one.

z Scores and Area Under the Curve

19.6K
z scores are the standardized values obtained after converting a normal distribution into a standard normal distribution. A z score is measured in units of the standard deviation. The z score tells you how many standard deviations the value x is above (to the right of) or below (to the left of) the mean, μ. Values of x that are larger than the mean have positive z scores, and values of x that are smaller than the mean have negative z scores. If x equals the mean, then x has a z score of...

z Scores and Unusual Values

11.0K
The z score is one of the three measures of relative standing. It describes the location of a value in a dataset relative to the mean. z scores are obtained after the standardization of the values in a dataset. The z score for the mean is 0.
 This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...

Drug Dosing: Infants and Children01:29

Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

295
Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Online infant studies offer potential for larger sample sizes and coded methods.
  • Manual video scoring is labor-intensive and subjective, limiting scalability and reproducibility.
  • Automated scoring is needed to overcome current limitations in developmental research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the first fully automated pipeline for scoring infant videos acquired online.
  • To compare automated scoring performance against human performance.
  • To identify factors influencing automated scoring accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a face analysis software-as-a-service and a discriminant-analysis classifier.
  • Developed a pipeline for scoring infant videos recorded via webcam.
  • Compared machine performance with human scoring in looking time and preferential looking paradigms.

Main Results:

  • Automated scoring demonstrated a promising proof of principle for infant looking time.
  • Machine performance was above chance in classifying preferential looking.
  • Identified key video and child characteristics affecting automated scoring performance.

Conclusions:

  • The automated pipeline shows significant promise for developmental science.
  • This technology can enhance the efficiency and objectivity of infant behavioral analysis.
  • Future research can optimize data acquisition and automated coding for challenging cases.
