2019
This protocol demonstrates injection of a retrogradely transportable viral vector into rat spinal cord tissue. The vector is taken up at the synapse and transported to the cell body of target neurons. This model is suitable for retrograde tracing of important spinal pathways or targeting cells for gene therapy applications.

Here, we present a protocol designed to show how negative aging stereotypes can impair memory performance of older adults during cognitive testing and how to reduce this deleterious effect. This method can help older people to perform at an optimal level during testing in both lab studies and clinical settings.

Inducing Emotions

2023
Source: William Brady & Jay Van Bavel—New York University Psychologists have long known that people behave differently in good moods versus bad moods, and this general principle extends to consumer behavior. Economists, as well, have come to appreciate that an individual’s financial decisions are not solely the result of extensive cost-benefit calculations; other factors like emotion are at play. Further, incidental emotions affect the behavior of buyers and sellers even though they are...

Cytogenetics

2023
Cytogenetics is the field of study devoted to chromosomes, and involves the direct observation of a cell’s chromosomal number and structure, together known as its karyotype. Many chromosomal abnormalities are associated with disease. Each chromosome in a karyotype can be stained with a variety of dyes to give unique banding patterns. More recent techniques, including comparative genomic hybridization and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), allow for detecting specific chromosomal...
FAQs
Color and contrast make selected words or concepts visually salient, meaning they stand out from surrounding material. This difference can guide attention toward information the reader has chosen to mark. In psychology, that makes a highlighter set useful for examining how visible cues direct attention during reading and how selective marking organizes the material that receives emphasis.
Selective marking preserves a distinction between emphasized and nonemphasized information. When readers use different colors or marks to separate themes, key evidence, or other categories, the page becomes easier to scan and interpret. Highlighting everything would reduce that contrast, limiting the organizational value of the visual cues and making later review less efficient.
Different colors can assign separate visual categories to information, such as themes, evidence, or concepts. This arrangement helps readers identify relationships within notes or textbook passages without relying only on the original sequence of the text. For psychology-related study materials, color coding can therefore connect visual organization with attention and the encoding of selected information.
A highlighter set can provide a simple way to manipulate or observe visual salience during reading and review. Researchers can use color, contrast, and selective marking in notes, textbooks, or experimental stimuli to study how attention is directed and how selected material is encoded. The resulting comparisons can inform research on memory and study strategies.
Students can mark chosen words or concepts and use separate colors to distinguish themes or identify key evidence. The marked material then provides visual cues for scanning during review, while the unmarked text remains available for context. This procedure connects selective attention with an organized review process rather than treating color as decoration alone.
Notes, textbooks, and experimental stimuli can all incorporate highlighter-set techniques, according to the intended task. In study materials, marks can separate themes and evidence; in experimental contexts, colored or contrasting elements can help researchers examine attention. The same basic tools therefore support both personal information organization and controlled investigation of visual cues.
It is useful when material contains multiple themes, important evidence, or concepts that need to be revisited efficiently. Assigning visual distinctions to those elements can make selected information easier to locate during review. In psychology, this application also illustrates how study strategies draw on attention, encoding, memory, and the organization of information.
Researchers can examine whether color, contrast, or selective marking changes which parts of a stimulus receive attention. They can also consider how organizing selected material affects encoding and later review. Using a highlighter set in this context connects a familiar study practice with broader psychological questions about visual cues, attention, memory, and information processing.
