71JOHN TUTTLE (VASSAR COLLEGE), DARA GREENWOOD (VASSAR COLLEGE) We examined psychological tendencies, video game habits, and perceptions toxicity (e.g., harassment) in an online survey. Participants were gamers (n = 167, 69% male, 18-40). Those who played competitive games reported significantly more perceived toxicityand self-reported toxicity compared to those who did not. Among those who played competitive games, narcissism, being male, and playing FPS games predicted perceived toxicity; narcissism, inverse of perspective-taking, and playing MOBA games predicted self-reported toxicity while gaming.Friday, March 7, 20251:40pm %u2013 2:40pm Symposium OdetsBEHAVIORAL NEUROSCIENCE SYMPOSIUM: TOUCHSCREEN TESTING FOR UNDERSTANDING COGNITIVE SYMPTOMS IN HUMAN DISORDERSFriday, March 7, 20251:40pm %u2013 2:40pmCHAIR: HENRY HALLOCK TOUCHSCREEN TESTING FOR UNDERSTANDING COGNITIVE SYMPTOMS IN HUMAN DISORDERSHENRY HALLOCK (LAFAYETTE COLLEGE) Neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease, include cognitive symptoms like attention and memory deficits. To study these, researchers use rodent models allowing invasive techniques not possible in humans. However, translating findings to human treatments is challenging due to species and methodological differences. Touchscreen-based tasks offer a promising method to bridge this gap, improving reproducibility and mimicking human tests. This symposium explores these methods and their potential for translation to human therapies.PresentationsInsula-frontal cortical interactions during a touchscreen-based attention task (rCPT) in miceby Henry Hallock (Lafayette College) Frontal-sensory neuron dynamics during the 5 choice serial reaction time task (5CSRTT)by Samuel Allen (Icahn School of Medicine, Mt.

Findings indicate 1) strong arguments and reasoning increase acceptability of opposing ideology; 2) lower moral convictions increase the influence of opposing ideological arguments; 3) liberals' acceptability was significantly higher in reasoning than intuition conditions; conservatives showed no difference; and 4) moral acceptability directly correlates with moral foundations scores associated with opposing ideology.1:55pm %u2013 2:05pmEXAMINING AMERICANS' ELECTION YEAR THREAT PERCEPTIONSBRENDAN GALLAGHER (NAZARETH COLLEGE) Threat perceptions are linked to political ideology, particularly conservatism.
