Video games and creativity: The mediating role of psychological capital
2023, Journal of CreativityStudies into abnormal aggression in humans and rodents: Methodological and translational aspects
2017, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Naturally, subjects are not aggressive in such studies either, but are asked to perform a task that involves the expression of some form of aggressive behavior. Examples of such “manifest-aggression” paradigms are the Taylor Aggression Paradigm, Point Subtraction Paradigm, Ultimatum Game, Game of Chickens, Survivor Contest, Articulated Thoughts in Simulated Situations paradigm, and various aggressive video games that in addition to offering ways for evaluating aggressiveness may also reveal cruelty (Cherek, 1992; Eckhardt et al., 1998; Guth et al., 1982; Lotze et al., 2007; Reijntjes et al., 2007; Rapoport and Chammah, 1966; Salminen and Ravaja, 2008; Taylor, 1967). In these paradigms aggression is mild; moreover, it is often symbolic only.
Identification of canonical neural events during continuous gameplay of an 8-bit style video game
2016, NeuroImageCitation Excerpt :It is a paradox that the exquisite temporal fidelity, multidimensionality, and sensitivity of EEG to canonical neural operations are some of the barriers that have actually hindered generalizability. Previous experiments have recorded EEG while participants played established gaming suites (Havranek et al., 2012; Salminen and Ravaja, 2008; Spapé et al., 2013; Subhani et al., 2012), or novel virtual reality environments (Callan et al., 2013; Clemente et al., 2014), yet they have only provided enough fidelity for stationary analyses. While multiple groups have developed methods for tightly integrating video game performance with external recording devices (Anguera et al., 2013; Mathewson et al., 2012; Sivanathan et al., 2014; Spüler and Niethammer, 2015), very few groups have sought to answer a priori questions of psychological interest, likely due to limitations of reverse inference (Poldrack, 2006).1
