Article Abstract

Students and educators sometimes hold beliefs about intelligence and learning that lack scientific support, often called neuromyths. Neuromyths can be problematic, so it is important to find methods to correct them. Previous findings demonstrate that textual refutations are effective for correcting neuromyths. However, even after correction, erroneous information may continue to influence reasoning. In three experiments, we investigated whether feedback could be used to update students' and educators' beliefs and influence their reasoning about neuromyths. Across all experiments, the results showed that both students and educators held erroneous beliefs about learning and memory that could be updated after receiving feedback. Feedback also increased students', but not teachers', reasoning accuracy. The results demonstrate that feedback can be used to update beliefs in neuromyths, but these beliefs may influence reasoning even after correction.

Tool use is a complex motor planning problem. Prior research suggests that planning to use tools involves resolving competition between different tool-related action representations. We therefore reasoned that competition may also be exacerbated with tools for which the motions of the tool and the hand are incongruent (e.

Physical and functional effects of substituting coevolved residues from Ω-loop C of yeast Iso-1-cytochrome c into human cytochrome c.

Omega loop C (residues 40-57) of cytochrome c (Cytc) is a common location for naturally-occurring variants of human Cytc that cause thrombocytopenia 4 (THC4). These variants are characterized by significant increases in the intrinsic peroxidase activity of Cytc, which appears to be linked to increased dynamics in Ω-loop D (residues 71-85). The mutations in Ω-loop C enhance the dynamics of Ω-loop D by decreasing the acid dissociation constant of the trigger group (pK) of the alkaline conformational transition.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of the CARES-MFW (Clinical Augmented Reality Education Simulation for Malignant Fungating Wounds) app in enhancing nurses' knowledge and clinical reasoning in the care of MFWs.

Background: Malignant fungating wounds (MFWs) affect many patients with advanced cancer, with nearly 50 % dying within six months of diagnosis. These wounds often present with heavy exudate, pain, malodor and bleeding, leading to profound physical and psychosocial distress.

The use of donor eggs, sperm and embryos in medically assisted reproduction (MAR) provide new possibilities for reproductive assistance and family-making. In clinical practice, it also brings to light questions of responsibility and ethical conduct. Despite this, fertility practitioners' reasoning in clinical decision-making remains surprisingly understudied.

Objective: This study evaluated the coherence, consistency, and diagnostic accuracy of eight AI-based chatbots in clinical scenarios related to dental implants.

Methods: A double-blind, clinical experimental study was carried out between February and March 2025, to evaluate eight AI-based chatbots using six fictional cases simulating peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. Each chatbot answered five standardized clinical questions across three independent runs per case, generating 720 binary outputs.
