36been replicated in a range of experiments in humans and non-humans. In three experiments, we arranged a novel choice task for rats to test for pre-crastination. We found that not only did the rats not choose to precrastinate, but chose optimally to a statistically significant degree%u2014the exact opposite of human choice on analogous tasks.10:50am %u2013 11:00amEFFECT OF DIFFERENTIAL OUTCOMES ON ACTION SEQUENCE LEARNINGSCOTT GULIZIO (GRADUATE CENTER, BROOKLYN COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), NORMAN TU (GRADUATE CENTER, BROOKLYN COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), ANDREW DELAMATER (BROOKLYN COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK) Rats were trained on an action sequence task where distinct lever press sequences led to reward. A \ Group\\-differential\ group did not. Subsequently, we devalued one reward type and tested their sequencechoices. Both groups quickly learned the two action sequences. After devaluation, the differential group demonstrated a trend where the latency to initiate and the duration of the terminal press increased across test sessions for the devalued sequence.11:05am %u2013 11:15amINCONSISTENT EFFECTS NO-CUE/NO-OUTCOME TRIAL FREQUENCY ON CONTINGENCY LEARNINGRAFI ARNOB (BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY), DAVID JIANG (BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY), DENIS POGOSYAN (BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY), RALPH MILLER (BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY), JAMES WITNAUER (SUNY BROCKPORT), SANTIAGO CASTIELLO (YALE UNIVERSITY), ROBIN MURPHY (UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD) In contingency learning, 'trials' with neither the cue nor outcome ('D trials') are intertrial intervals. %u00ce%u201dpframework (Allan, 1980) and trial-spacing summaries anticipate more or longer D trials will increase cueoutcome contingency ratings. Across threeexperiments, each with different procedures/parameters, increasing D frequency or duration yielded no consistent effect on contingency. These experiments add to a growing literature indicating greater trial spacing often does not affect learning. At present, the sources of these inconsistencies remain unclear.Friday, March 7, 202510:20am %u2013 11:20am Paper WilderDEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY PAPERS: CULTURAL AND SOCIAL INFLUENCES ON WELLBEINGFriday, March 7, 202510:20am %u2013 11:20amCHAIR: MAUREEN KENNY 10:20am %u2013 10:30amEXAMINING THE EXPERIENCES OF HISTORICALLY UNDERREPRESENTED CAREGIVERS OF AUTISTIC CHILDREN USING MIXED-METHODSMIKAELA ELLIOTT (CUNY GRADUATE CENTER, CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY), DAVE KI (CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF PHILADELPHIA, CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY), PATRICIA PARKER (REACH SERVICES), CHARLOTTE KENNERLY (CLEVELAND METROPOLITAN SCHOOL DISTRICT), DONNA MCINTOSH (HOPE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH LLC), RITA OBEID (CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY) Caring for autistic individuals brings unique experiences and challenges. Research has focused on White, middle-class caregivers, neglecting the challenges faced by caregivers of color. Using a mixedmethods design, we surveyed 73 caregivers and interviewed 14. We found that Black caregivers reported higher levels of well-being. Additionally, other caregivers often sought support from the Black community regardless of their own ethnicity. Our findings highlight caregivers' strengths, needs, and the importance of developing culturally responsive support services.10:35am %u2013 10:45amCROSS CULTURAL PERCEPTIONS OF CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECTMAUREEN KENNY (FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY), KEVIN ORTIZ DIAZ (FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY) Parenting practices among cultures vary regarding what actions are considered abusive. This study examined a diverse college population's (N=790) attitudes toward 18 different parenting behaviors. Results found Hispanic women were more likely than men to find actions abusive, parents were more likely than non-parents to see actions as abusive, and no differences were found as a factor of country of origin. 36
