Comparing executive functioning in children with or without ADHD or ASD

We want to learn more about how executive functioning differs between children with ADHD, ASD, or neither. We have finished recruiting for our ADHD and typically developing groups but are still recruiting autistic children to be a part of our study. Children will complete an iPad-based measure of executive functioning and complete various tasks while their brain activity is being monitored using EEG. We will also complete a short eye-tracking task. Parents will fill out different forms to get an understanding of each child's developmental history and current behaviors.

Unintuitive Features Study

Nowadays, AI systems have been applied widely in a variety of predictive tasks, from objective detection to text classification. These AI systems have greatly advanced automated decision-making. However, sometimes humans and AI systems think in very different ways, which means humans and AI systems might use different evidence to make predictions. In this study, we are using sentiment analysis of Amazon product reviews as a case study. Humans will judge sentiments of different words with different AI explanations. Human and AI judgments will be compared to find to which extend human and AI knowledge align.

Informational professionals and the use of ChatGPT

In this study, we want to learn more about how informational professionals interact with large language models such as ChatGPT, Bing AI, and Google Bard. We are interviewing and conducting diary studies with information professionals (e.g. finance, law, IT, business, academia, journalism, and consulting) who regularly use these systems in their work to understand the information practices they engage in while using these systems. Previous study participants have noted that the diary entries enabled them to reflect more deeply on their use of these tools and the interview has helped synthesized what they have documented. We hope you may find such benefits in your participation as well.

The Feminist Tsunami: How Massive Feminist Struggles Are Impacting Women's Everyday Lives in Latin America

For my dissertation, I am broadly interested in looking at the effects that the latest wave of the feminist movement in Latin America has had on women's lives. I am particularly interested in looking at the past 7 years, starting in 2015, during which the movement has grown and peaked to become the most active political force in the region (Gutierrez 2019). While most research examining the rise of this movement has focused on theorizing its agenda, consisting of novel organizing and coalition-building strategies (Gago 2020; Furtado and Sosa 2020), I am interested in understanding how this movement shapes lived experiences and concrete social outcomes in women's lives-which we currently know little about.
