The Role of Individual Differences in Inhibition in Face Memory Specificity
This study will evaluate the specificity of memory for faces. Participants will be asked to remember a series of faces. They will then be shown old faces, related faces, and new faces and will indicate whether the second and third sets of faces are exactly the same as the originals. Participants will also take the Cambridge Face Memory Test to assess individual differences. Analyses will investigate memory specificity and whether this depends on inhibition and individual differences.
East-West and Healthy-Unhealthy: Patterns of Perfectionism in Vietnamese and White American Undergraduate Women
Among Vietnamese international students (n=44) and White American (n=40) students, striving for personal standards was significantly higher than evaluative concerns and parent-driven perfectionism in healthy perfectionists, but not in unhealthy perfectionists. From a social cognitive perspective, healthy perfectionists may have internalized early parental influences. These findings added to the literature on patterns of healthy and unhealthy perfectionism.
The Role of Inhibition in Long-Term Color Memory Specificity
The current study evaluates the specificity of long-term color memories. Participants are asked to remember a series of colored shapes. Participants are then shown old colored shapes, similar colored shapes, and new colored shapes and then indicate whether the second two sets of items were exactly the same as the original ones and their confidence in their answer. Analyses will investigate whether memory for color is very specific and if color memory specificity depends on inhibition.
