95POSTER 12CORRELATION BETWEEN INTEREST AREA DWELL TIME AND CATEGORIZATION OF FRITH HAPPE ANIMATIONSDOMINIC SVAGDIS (TUFTS UNIVERSITY), RYAN CANNISTRARO (TUFTS UNIVERSITY) Eye-tracking of autistic and non-autistic children aged eight to twelve was recorded as they took the FrithHapp%u00e9 Animations Test. Specifically, total dwell time on the triangles was measured, as well as attribution to the triangles' intentions and emotions in the Theory of Mind animations. We predict that dwell time is positively correlated with the amount of correct categorizations. Knowledge from this study could shed light on mentalization processes in autistic children and improve intervention techniques.POSTER 13DECONSTRUCTING VISUAL CLUTTER AND ITS EFFECT ON SEARCH PERFORMANCESATHVIK GOPU (NEW JERSEY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY), YELDA SEMIZER (NEW JERSEY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY) This study investigates how object quantity, organization, and background complexity interact to influence visual clutter and search performance. Previous research explored these variables independently; we examined their combined effects through ranking, rating, and search tasks, quantifying clutter using mathematical models and measuring human performance using search time. Our results showed significant interaction effects, suggesting that the effect of clutter on visual search performance is complex in nature.POSTER 14DISTRACTIBILITY AND ITS IMPACT ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AMONG SETON HILL UNIVERSITY STUDENTSZOEY MAPSTONE (SETON HILL UNIVERSITY) This study surveyed Seton Hill University students to examine how distractibility impacts academic outcomes, such as GPA and study habits. Results revealed that higher distractibility correlates with less effective study habits and partially affects cognitive and metacognitive strategies, such as content organization. These findings suggest that individual differences in attention regulation play a crucial role in academic success, emphasizing the importance of developing interventions to address distractibility and enhance focus and study habits.POSTER 15DO PRODUCTION EFFECTS OCCUR ON COMPREHENSION TESTS WHEN USING DISTINCT STIMULI?BRIANNA N CHAVES (SAINT PETER'S UNIVERSITY), MARYELLEN HAMILTON (SAINT PETER'S UNIVERSITY) The production effect is better memory for items read out loud compared to items read silently. A recent finding by Roberts et al (2024) found the production effect was inconsistent for comprehension questions. In the current study we attempted to replicate the Roberts et al (2024) finding but added a distinctiveness manipulation (bizarreness effect) to see whether this might produce the production effect within comprehension questions. We found a typical production effect across all manipulations.POSTER 16EARLY LANGUAGE EXPOSURE AFFECTS REFLEXIVE AND ACCUSATIVE PRONOUN PRODUCTION AND PROCESSINGSERENA CHEENATH (RUTGERS THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY - NEW BRUNSWICK), SHANNON BRYANT (RUTGERS THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY - NEW BRUNSWICK), YARKIN ERGIN (RUTGERS THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY -NEW BRUNSWICK), C. JANE LUTKEN (WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY), STEN KNUTSEN (RUTGERS THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY - NEW BRUNSWICK), SOURISH VANKADARI (RUTGERS THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY - NEW BRUNSWICK), KARIN STROMSWOLD (RUTGERS THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY - NEW BRUNSWICK) We investigated how early language exposure affected 31 college students' production and comprehension of matrix and embedded sentences with accusative and reflexive pronouns. Bayesian ANOVAs indicated that participants whose parents were non-native English speakers began producing reflexive sentences in the experiment faster, and were less accurate at comprehending reflexives than participants whose parents were native English speakers. This suggests that the first language one is exposed to has persistenteffects on sentence production and processing.POSTER 17EFFECT OF GENDER AND SPEECH DISFLUENCIES ON DECEPTION PERCEPTION AND MEMORYMORGAN JONES (UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON), JILL WARKER (UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON) 95Saturday, March 8
