This behavioral pilot study examines the non-motor functions of the cerebellum, focusing on its role in social prediction errors. We introduce a novel embarrassment induction paradigm leveraging real-time, naturalistic faux-pas detection, compensation, and affective embodiment. Healthy adult participants complete creative tasks followed by a surprise self-other observation (SSOO) task to induce \POSTER 56STARTING ON THE RIGHT NOTE: EXPLORING A WORKING MEMORY-CENTERED EAR-TRAINING PEDAGOGYERICA KNOWLES (BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC), LESLIE ANNE HARRISON (BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC), BETHANIE LIU (BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC), MI-LAN HOANG (BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC), ETHAN BESSETTE (BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC), LOGAN BAUTISTA (BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC), SARAH NAQVI (BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC), NOAH SOLOMON (BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC) Melodic dictation is a major component of undergraduate music education yet poses significant challenges for many students. While dictation is presumed to rely heavily on working memory, little is known about this relationship and how it interacts with ear-training pedagogy. The current study investigated the impact of pedagogical methods that focus on the development of musical schema and chunking strategies on musical working memory ability and dictation performance in introductory course-level students.POSTER 57STRAIGHT SPINE, SHARPER MIND? INVESTIGATING EFFECTS OF POSTURE ON ATTENTION AND MOODEMILY ERDMAN (SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY), KATHERINE AUSMUS (SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY), KALIE QUAGLIA (SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY), JENNIFER ASMUTH (SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY) We examined the effects of two different postures on attention and mood. While there were no main effects of posture condition on Eriksen flanker task performance, a posture x trial type interaction revealed that maintaining an erect posture (standing) led to greater difference in performance on congruent and incongruent Flanker trials compared to those in the stooped posture condition (sitting). Positive affect was higher in the standing condition; the stooped condition reported greater negative affect.POSTER 58SYMBOLIC RULES OF ORDER: A REPLICATION AND EXTENSION OF GATTAS ET AL.MICHAEL SLIPENKYJ (GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY), ERIKA IKEDA (GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY), IAN LYONS (GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY) While the ability to keep track of the order of elements is foundational to cognition, there is an ongoing debate regarding precisely how order judgements are made. In this study, we replicated and extended the findings of Gattas et al. (2021, J Exp Psychol Gen). Specifically, we show that verbal recitation processes underlie order judgements across both numerical and alphabetical sequences, suggesting that ordering skills operate according to a set of more general symbolic rules.POSTER 59TEAMWORK OR COMPETITION: INSTRUCTIONAL CONTEXT MODULATES ATTENTION IN THE GAZECUEING PARADIGM.ALUA SAMAT (BARD COLLEGE), POLINA RAFAILOVA (BARD COLLEGE), THOMAS HUTCHEON (BARD COLLEGE) This study is focused on participants' attitudes towards robots in a gaze-cueing task. Task instructions varied between subjects, where participants were asked to cooperate or compete with a robot, or locate the target in a neutral condition. Using a flower as a target, we find gaze-cueing effects in neutral and cooperative, but not in competitive conditions. In the competitive condition, female participants respond faster than male counterparts. The trend is reversed for the neutral condition.POSTER 60THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN TIKTOK USAGE, ADHD SYMPTOMS AND SELECTIVE ATTENTION PERFORMANCEPERLA ENCARNACION (CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), NAHILA NZINA (CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), JESSICA PETERS (CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), ANDREINA MARTINEZ (CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), ZAINAB SHAKOOR (CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), CHEN LI (CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), ROBERT MELARA (CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK) 103Saturday, March 8
