Understanding the principles underlying age-related changes in motion perception is paramount for improving the quality of life and health of older adults. However, the mechanisms underlying age-related alterations in this aspect of vision, which is essential for survival in a dynamic world, still remain unclear. Using optomotor responses to drifting gratings, we investigated age-related changes in motion detection of adult zebrafish (wild-type/AB-strain and achesb55/ thorn mutants with decreased levels of acetylcholinesterase). Our results pointed out negative optomotor responses that significantly depend on the spatial frequency and contrast level of stimulation, providing supporting evidence for the visual motion-driven aspect of this behavior mainly exhibited by adult zebrafish. Although there were no significant main effects of age and genotype, we found a significant three-way interaction between contrast level, age, and genotype. In the contrast domain, the changes in optomotor responses and thus in the detection of motion direction were ageand genotype-specific. Accordingly, these behavioral findings suggest a strong but complicated relationship between visual motion characteristics and the cholinergic system during neural aging. (c) 2020 Elsevier Inc.

The Relationship between mothers’ parenting styles and emotion understanding of children through the mediator role of children’s perceived parenting styles of their mothers Çalışkan, Arzu; Şahin Acar, Başak; Department of Psychology (2015) The aim of the current study is to examine the effects of parenting styles of mothers and children’s perceived maternal parenting styles on children’s emotion understanding skills. This relationship is explored via the mediator role of perceived parenting styles of children. We recruited 130 primary school second grade children and their mothers in this study. Data was collected from children in different elementary schools in Ankara, from upper middle SES schools. Kusche Emotion Inventory, EMBU child and p...
The effects of golf expertise and presentation modality on memory for golf and everyday items Dijkstra, Katinka; MacMahon, Clare; Mısırlısoy, Mine (Elsevier BV, 2008-06-01) The present study assessed whether golf expertise, presentation modality, and domain relevance affected memory for golf-related and everyday items. Forty-eight experienced golfers and 48 non-golfers were compared in their memory for golf-related ("putt to the hole") and everyday ("turn on the lamp") items. To-be-remembered items were presented verbally, visually, or were enacted. Enacted information was recalled best, followed by visually presented information. Combined effects of modality and golf expertis...
The relationship between the social cognitive understanding and aggressive behaviors in children with hearing loss Sarıkardaşoğlu, Aslı; Kazak Berument, Sibel; Department of Psychology (2010) The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between the social cognitive understanding, aggressive behaviors and behavioral adjustment of deaf children. Severely and profoundly deaf children between the ages of 6-11 participated in the study. Firstly, the social cognitive understanding of deaf children was assessed through picture sequence tasks. These tasks were designed to measure the first-order belief attributions, belief-based behavior prediction, intention understanding, intention conseque...
Incremental Processing of Morphosyntax for Counterfactual Reasoning: An Eye-tracking Study with Turkish-speaking Children and Adults Aktepe, Semih Can; Özge, Duygu; Department of English Language Teaching (2022-9) This study aimed to investigate whether children as young as age four can incrementally use morphosyntactic cues for counterfactual reasoning at adult-like level. Therefore, in this study, we answered (i) when children can reason adult-like using counterfactuals and (ii) whether they can incrementally integrate the morphosyntax of counterfactuals in a language that encodes both the conditional and counterfactual meaning in concatenated verbal suffixes, Turkish. We conducted an eye-tracking experiment using ...
The impact of perceived parenting styles on attachment styles, self-evaluations and close relationships Sümer, Nebi; Gungor, D (1999-12-01) The present study examined the interplay between the perceived parenting styles of the university students and attachment styles, basic self-dimensions, behavior patterns in close relationships, and relationship satisfaction. The findings indicated that parenting styles (authoritarian, authoritative, permissive/indulgent, and permissive/neglecting), which were constructed by crossing perceived parental acceptance/involment and strict control dimensions of parenting were consistently related with the major o...
