40outcomes in currently-enrolled coursework. Student performance, as measured through LASSI (Learning and Study Strategies Inventory) pre- and post-tests demonstrated significant improvement in a variety of areas of executive functioning.LEARNING OUTCOMES AND EMPATHY WHEN USING A NARRATIVE GAME VS. TEXTBOOK-STYLE PRESENTATIONNICOLE CALMA-RODDIN (NEW YORK INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY), THOMAS BOZZO (ST. JOHN'S UNIVERSITY) Games can be useful for learning, but how do they compare to more traditional methods? We compared a narrative game and textbook-style presentation of the same content. We predict students who complete the game will perform better on an assessment comparedto those who experience the textbook-style presentation. For only students who play the game, we predict assessment scores and game enjoyment will be related to empathy scores (key to the narrative game experience).Friday, March 7, 202510:20am %u2013 11:20am Symposium O'NeillCLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY SYMPOSIUM: CAN DIGITAL HOARDING BE CONSIDERED A PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDER?Friday, March 7, 202510:20am %u2013 11:20amCHAIR: USHA BARAHMAND CAN DIGITAL HOARDING BE CONSIDERED A PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDER?SHOLEH LIVARJANI (INDEPENDENT) Some researchers have suggested that digital hoarding shares features of physical hoarding disorder (HD) as chronicled in the DSM-5. The excessive accumulation of digital files or data and a refusal to delete them may then result in cluttered and disorganized digital spaces. A series of four studies were conducted, findings revealed attachment anxiety to be linked to digital file and photo hoarding through various mediators.PresentationsIndecisiveness Mediates the Link between Attachment and Digital Hoardingby Andrea Weyhing (Columbia University) Role of the Attachment to Objects in Digital Hoardings by Sholeh Livarjani (Independent) Perfectionism as a Mediator Between Attachment and Hoarding (study 3 title)by Usha Barahmand (City University of New York) Linking Attachment to Digital Hoarding ; A Case for Serial Mediation by Amal Bhalli (City University of New York) DiscussantSholeh Livarjani (Independent) Friday, March 7, 202512:30pm %u2013 1:30pm Poster Westside Ballroom 3 & 4BEHAVIORAL NEUROSCIENCE/LEARNING/INTERNATIONAL/HISTORY POSTERSFriday, March 7, 202512:30pm %u2013 1:30pmPOSTER 1A NOVEL CONTEXT DISRUPTS THE EXPRESSION OF CONDITIONED FEAREMILY ROCCO (UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT), SAMANTHA MORIARTY (UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT),OLIVIA WAYCOTT (UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT), NEIL WINTERBAUER(UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT), TRAVIS TODD (UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT)The current experiment examined the effect of context familiarity on the expression of conditioned fear. Two groups of rats first received fear conditioning in context A, prior to extinction in context B. One group was exposed to C, and the other group was not. Renewal was eliminated for the group in which C was novel. However, freezing to a non-extinguished cue was also disrupted. Novel contexts thus disrupt the expression of conditioned fear.POSTER 2ALTERATIONS TO EXTINCTION MAY LEAD TO MORE SUCCESS IN EXPOSURE THERAPYCLAUDIA MIZEREK (UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT), SARA JOHNSON (UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT), MIA TZIKAS (UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT), FIN ZAKAS (UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT), SKYLER SKLENARIK (UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT), SARAH FRANZEN 40
