7. Therapeutic Immersion: A Single-Subject Study on Virtual Reality Multisensory Experiences for Mitigating Body Disturbance in Anorexia Nervosa

Dr Giulia Brizzi

9/25/24, 11:00 AM

Mini-talks

Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is a mental health condition marked by reduced food consumption, intense fear of weight gain, and distorted body experience. Virtual Reality (VR) based techniques – i.e., Body-Swapping and Mirror Exposure techniques - offer promising avenues for addressing body disturbance in AN, allowing patients to embody virtual bodies varying in size and shape. We used a...

30. “Regulating my anxiety worsens the safety of my driving”: The Synergistic Influence of Spatial Anxiety and Self-Regulation on Driving Behavior

Sergio Traficante (Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro)

9/25/24, 11:10 AM

Mini-talks

Spatial Anxiety (SA) can be defined as the fear and apprehension experienced during tasks that require spatial thinking and may negatively impact the execution of daily actions. Although it has been explored in several research fields, limited research has explored the effects of SA on specific driving behaviours. In the current study, it was hypothesised that the severity of SA affects risky...

66. The semantics of dreams: using NLP analysis to quantify dream content and its variations across individuals

Valentina Elce (MoMiLab Research Unit, IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca, 55100 Lucca, Italy)

9/25/24, 11:20 AM

Mini-talks

The content of dreams appears to reflect the sleeper’s experiences and concerns, but also their psychophysical well-being. We implemented Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools for the quantitative and reproducible analysis of dream content to investigate dream changes as a function of age and sex in a large cohort of participants.

Two-hundred healthy Italian individuals (87M, 18-70y)...

70. Age-related decline in spatial orienting of attention in physiological aging

Tiziana Pedale (Dept. of Philosophy, Social Sciences & Education, University of Perugia)

9/25/24, 11:30 AM

Mini-talks

Attention is a multifaceted process that involves several components, including alerting, orienting, and conflict resolution. These components have been extensively studied using the Attention Network Test (ANT), also to characterize attentional decline with physiological aging. However, there are several inconsistencies in the literature regarding which components are most affected by aging....

226. Uncovering ChatGPT's Narrative Identity through a Psycholinguistic Perspective.

martina gnerre (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore)

9/25/24, 11:40 AM

Mini-talks

The present study investigates ChatGPT's self-description and world-description in both present and future contexts. A corpus of texts produced by ChatGPT was analyzed through Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) to detect the linguistic markers indicating self-concept, self-reflection, cognitive, emotional and social processes.
Repeated measures ANOVA unveiled significant differences. In...

289. Anortoscopia: uno strumento riscoperto per lo studio dei bias rappresentazionali

Vincenza Tommasi (Università degli Studi di Foggia)

9/25/24, 11:50 AM

Mini-talks

In questo lavoro abbiamo studiato lo pseudoneglect (i.e., bias attenzionale fisiologico verso l’emispazio sinistro) mediante l’anortoscopia.
L’anortoscopia è una tecnica di presentazione visiva di un’immagine per sezioni successive. Nell’anortoscopia “statica” uno stimolo viene fatto scorrere dietro una fessura fissa al centro dello schermo: l’impressione di forma globale dello stimolo è...

320. Interplay between hypertension and heart rate variability in cognitive functions

Dr Giuseppe Forte (Dipartimento di Psicologia Dinamica, Clinica e Salute, Sapienza Università di Roma)

9/25/24, 12:00 PM

Mini-talks

Until now it has been difficult to examine the cognitive decline related to hypertension and to identify predictive variables of the progression to cognitive impairment in people with hypertension. With renaissance of heart rate variability as a marker of autonomic functionality, a series of researchers have underlined its role in cognitive functions. In line with evidence about autonomic...

323. Behavioral and EEG correlates of implicit attention to positive and negative social words in a socio-emotional Stroop task

Carlotta Maiocchi (Istituto Universitario di Studi Superiori - IUSS (Pavia))

9/25/24, 12:10 PM

Mini-talks

Studies based on the “emotional” variants of the Stroop task (eStroop) have shown that stimulus valence shapes response latency to salient stimuli. This modulation likely reflects the different implicit attentional capture by negatively vs. positively valenced words, with these stimulus categories being typically associated with longer and shorter response times (RTs), respectively, compared...

409. L’ipercontrollo genitoriale come specifica forma di maltrattamento: uno studio EEG di connettività funzionale

Dr Aurelia Lo Presti (Dipartimento di Psicologia, Università di Torino)

9/25/24, 12:20 PM

Mini-talks

Recenti studi suggeriscono di considerare l’ipercontrollo genitoriale come una forma di maltrattamento infantile. L’esperienza di maltrattamento infantile è stata associata ad alterazioni della connettività nel Salience Network (SN), un insieme di aree cerebrali cruciali per l'individuazione, l'elaborazione e l'integrazione delle informazioni ritenute rilevanti. In questo studio indaghiamo la...
