102ABDUL-REHMAN ASIF (NEW JERSEY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY), YELDA SEMIZER (NEW JERSEY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY) Action video game players have been shown to display advantages in certain visual and attentional processes; however, peripheral vision remains underexplored. This study explores the visual sensitivity of peripheral vision in expert action video game players. Participants completed a task which required detection of peripheral targets over a range of eccentricities while maintaining fixation in an eye-tracking set-up. This study offers insights into the peripheral vision capabilities among expert gamers.POSTER 50RECENCY BIAS AS A FUNCTION OF LOCUS OF CONTROLALDEN ORMONT (VASSAR COLLEGE), MARK CLEAVELAND (VASSAR COLLEGE) We present the results of two experiments that differentially primed an interior or exterior locus of control during a gambling task. We found that an \ yielded more subjects who demonstrated a negative recency bias. On the other hand, an \priming yielded more subjects who demonstrated a positive recency bias. These results support the hypothesis that the gamblers and hot hand fallacies are the result of the cognitive framing of a task.POSTER 51RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TIKTOK OVERCONSUMPTION AND BEHAVIORAL COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENTCHELSEA PEREZ (THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK CUNY), GE'VELLE-MARIE SAM LEZAMA, DAMARIS SIERRA, SUHJIN BAE Research indicated overconsumption of short-form videos was linked to increased mood disturbances and reduced concentration (Zhang, 2023). City College of New York students completed a social media questionnaire on TikTok usage, the DASS survey, ADHD self-report scale (ASRS v1.1) and the Erikson Flanker task on their selective attention. The study aims to confirm the relationship between the overconsumption of short-form video content and cognitive impairment in attention through behavioral data.POSTER 52RELATIVE SUCCESS IN DIFFERENT FIELDS FOR ENGLISH AS SECOND LANGUAGE STUDENTSCONOR SHEEHY (CLARK UNIVERSITY), NICOL%u00c1S ALVAREZ (CLARK UNIVERSITY), ALENA ESPOSITO (CLARK UNIVERSITY) The STEM fields, like math and physics, deal with universally defined rules and symbols. Humanities fields, such as history and philosophy, require a deep cultural and lexical familiarity. Through surveying international students in American universities, this study will explore if there is a significant difference in success for ESL students across STEM and humanities fields, and when possible, promote ways of minimizing the negative impacts of being an ESL student.POSTER 53ROBOT EYE-GAZE DIRECTS ATTENTION IN AN OBJECT-BASED MANNERPOLINA RAFAILOVA (BARD COLLEGE), AIDA MALIKOVA (BARD COLLEGE), REBECCA WINTJEN (BARD COLLEGE), THERESA LAW (BARD COLLEGE), THOMAS HUTCHEON (BARD COLLEGE) Previous research has found that eye-gaze directs attention to specific locations in the visual field. In contrast, arrows direct attention to objects but not specific locations in the visual field. Here, we tested whether the eye gaze of a robot would lead to location or object-based attention. Replicating previous work, we found location-based effects for eye-gaze and object-based effects for arrows. In addition, we found that robot eye-gaze cued object-based attention.POSTER 54SENSITIVITY OF PERIPHERAL VISION AMONG EXPERT BASKETBALL PLAYERSYELDA SEMIZER (NEW JERSEY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY), GALA KRSMANOVIC (NEW JERSEY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY) Previous studies suggest several visual and spatial processes significant to sports performance, especially in team sports. The purpose of the current study is to quantify the sensitivity of peripheral vision among expert basketball players. Expert basketball players and novices completed a psychophysical detection task where the target visibility was determined using an adaptive procedure. This study contributes to our understanding of the role of expertise in peripheral vision.POSTER 55SOCIAL PREDICTION ERRORS TAP CEREBELLAR CONTRIBUTIONS TO SOCIO-AFFECTIVE BEHAVIORS (A PILOT STUDY)102
