157POSTER 62LEARNING AND EXTINCTION OF A NOVEL TACTILE SPATIAL MEMORY TASKJUSTIN MOREHOUSE (ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY AND HEALTH SCIENCES), GRACE O'BOYLE (ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY AND HEALTH SCIENCES), ROBERT FLINT (ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY AND HEALTH SCIENCES) A novel task was developed to examine tactile spatial learning and extinction. Forty-five participants completed two sessions of five trials each using the index finger of their dominant hand to locate the target stimulus among numerous distractor stimuli. The target location was changed for session two, without the participant's knowledge. Results indicate significant learning, extinction, and reacquisition, establishing a protocol from which further studies of tactile spatial learning in humans may be developed.POSTER 63LIVING BEYOND YOUR MEANS: THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF HOUSING UNAFFORDABILITYODETTE PIERRE (SALISBURY UNIVERSITY), SOPHIA BROYLES (SALISBURY UNIVERSITY), DELANEY FAIRLEY (SALISBURY UNIVERSITY), TABATHA HAYES (SALISBURY UNIVERSITY), MADELYNNE MATTARE (SALISBURY UNIVERSITY), MICHELE SCHLEHOFER (SALISBURY UNIVERSITY) Housing affordability impacts mental health and wellbeing. This mixed-method study explored perceptions of housing affordability and the relationship between housing affordability and wellbeing in a quasi-rural area. Findings indicate housing is perceived as unaffordable by area residents and professionals in the housing industry, with vulnerable populations disproportionately impacted. Perceptions of housing unaffordability were associated with greater rumination about housing and greater negative mood. The findings suggest improving access to affordable housing could improve mental health.POSTER 64MEDIATING ROLE OF BELONGING ON RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IMPOSTER SYNDROME AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCESAMANTHA YAKER (UNIVERSITY OF MOUNT SAINT VINCENT), STEFANIE VUOTTO (UNIVERSITY OF MOUNT SAINT VINCENT) Previous studies explored imposter syndrome and belonging but rarely examined their link to academic performance. This study investigates how a stronger sense of belonging may reduce imposter syndrome and enhance academic success. Using convenience sampling of traditional undergraduate students from the University of Mount Saint Vincent, we measured imposter syndrome (Leary Impostorism Scale), belonging (Sense of Belonging at Imperial College London Scale), and GPA. Results are anticipated to show fostering belonging can promote academic success.POSTER 65MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS TREATED WITH CAR T-CELL THERAPYPAYTON KLIESCH (HOBART AND WILLIAM SMITH COLLEGES), KATE COLVIN (HOBART AND WILLIAM SMITH COLLEGES), ELIZABETH BELCHER (HOBART AND WILLIAM SMITH COLLEGES) This study investigates mental health outcomes in patients treated with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, through a systematic literature review. Databases (e.g., PsychInfo, Pubmed) will be searched for keywords related to mental health (e.g., depression, anxiety) and CAR T-cell therapy. We will also extract data regarding relationships between mental health outcomes and cancer stage, CAR T-cell type and dose, length of hospitalization, treatment complications, and previous treatments, when available. PRISMA reporting will be followed.POSTER 66PRETERM BIRTH AND ADHD: EXPLORING SCREENTIME, NEIGHBORHOOD DISADVANTAGE, AND SOCIAL SUPPORT INTERACTIONSALAYAH OSULLIVAN (TEMPLE UNIVERSITY), ABRAHAM DACHS (TEMPLE UNIVERSITY), COOPER SHARP (TEMPLE UNIVERSITY), SAMANTHA MATHEISS (FELICIAN UNIVERSITY), ELIZABETH FOSTER (WIDENER UNIVERSITY), DAVID SMITH (TEMPLE UNIVERSITY) Premature birth is a significant risk factor for developing ADHD during childhood and adolescence. ADHD is also linked to community-level factors such as neighborhood disadvantage and individual-level factors such as excessive screentime. Yet, little is known about how these factors interact to shape risk for ADHD and whether enhanced social supports can help mitigate risk. We will address this gap in the literature by using data from the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study.POSTER 67RAISING CHAMPIONS: PARENTING STYLES AND ATHLETICS157Saturday, March 8
