98ROBERT G ALEXANDER (NEW YORK INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY) This study examined how fans and non-fans visually interpret character interactions in the show Supernatural using an EyeLink1000 Plus to track eye movements. We found that fans displayed longer fixation durations and larger saccadic amplitudes compared to non-fans. Thus, fans' repeated exposure to relevant media fosters specific gaze patterns. Future research will explore how fans' gaze differs for meaningful versus non-meaningful images and how their viewing behavior evolves over time.POSTER 29FORCED REACTION TIME IN EYEWITNESS IDENTIFICATION LINEUPS: HOW IS ACCURACY IMPACTED?ELIZABETH VAN DICK (SUNY ONEONTA), JOANNA BRACH (SUNY ONEONTA), MEGAN HEATH (SUNY ONEONTA), ROBERT LOCKAMYEIR (SUNY ONEONTA) The prevailing view in eyewitness memory is that there is a strong relationship between confidence and response time, and accuracy. But, how might forced response time affect accuracy and confidence? We tested this question using conditions of forced response in five seconds and twenty seconds with a control of unlimited response time. This study could inform the criminal justice system on how to evaluate and potentially increase the accuracy of eyewitness identifications.POSTER 30FRONTAL ALPHA ASYMMETRY IN WOMEN WITH HIGH VERSUS LOW BODY DISSATISFACTIONNAHILA NZINA (THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), ANDREW CIPRIAN (THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), DYAMANTA DUVERGE (THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), AJLA KASTRAT (THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), MANHUR HOSSAIN (THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), ZOBIA JAMAL (THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), NICOLE SERINO (THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), ROBERT D. MELARA (THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK) This study examines frontal alpha asymmetry in college-aged women with high versus low body dissatisfaction. Research suggests idealizing the thin body standard increases dissatisfaction and attentional biases toward thin stimuli. Women high in body dissatisfaction experience negative affect when exposed to thin body images. Using a modified Eriksen Flanker Task, participants discriminated lines amid irrelevant body images while EEG was recorded. We hypothesize higher dissatisfaction correlates with greater left frontal alpha activity to idealized bodies.POSTER 31GAZE PATTERNS PREDICT HOW PEOPLE NAVIGATE AROUND OTHER PEOPLE: A VR STUDYMICHELLE SHLIVKO (RUTGERS THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY - NEW BRUNSWICK), SAMUEL SOHN (RUTGERS THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY - NEW BRUNSWICK), JAKUB SUCHOJAD (RUTGERS THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY -NEW BRUNSWICK), JACOB FELDMAN (RUTGERS THESTATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY - NEW BRUNSWICK), KARIN STROMSWOLD (RUTGERS THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY - NEW BRUNSWICK) Navigation is a complex decision-making process requiring individuals to integrate sensory information, evaluate options, and execute actions. Eye movements play a critical role in this process, reflecting attentional allocation and cognitive strategies. They are a more accurate measure of unconscious cognitive processes than measures such as reaction time. In a VR study, we show that college students' eye gaze patterns predict the path they traverse through the environment even before they take their first step.POSTER 32IMPACT OF BODY DISSATISFACTION ON BODY IMAGE ATTENTIONAL BIAS IN COLLEGE WOMENYARELIZ RAMOS (THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK CUNY), NAHILA NZINA (CUNY THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), ANTHONY VILLA (CUNY THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), CHRISTIAN PEREZ (CUNY THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), YEIMI SAINT HILAIRE (CUNY THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), NICOLE SERINO (CUNY THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), ROBERT MELARA (CUNY THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK) This study examines attentional biases to body images among female college students with low versus high body dissatisfaction. Using theories of implicit biases, attentional biases, and social comparison, we employed a modified Eriksen Flanker Test to measure participants' cue reactivity to body types during a selective attention task. Body dissatisfaction, likely a proxy for implicit bias, was also measured. We hypothesize that high body dissatisfaction predicts greater attentional bias toward underweight and overweight body images.POSTER 33IMPACT OF READING MEDIUM AND SKILL LEVEL ON COMPREHENSION: KINDLE VS.
