Article Abstract
Past research has identified a source of miscommunication known as the "pseudotemporal" problem, whereby children mistakenly interpret invitations including the word 'time' (e.g., "tell me about the last time") as requests for temporal information (Friend et al., 2022; McWilliams et al., 2023; Wylie et al., 2024). Miscommunication may be particularly difficult to detect if children respond to the invitations with unelaborated "I don't know" (IDK) responses. The present study examined 352 adult participants' ability to detect the pseudotemporal problem across 12 invitation/response pairs embedded within a mock forensic interview. Results revealed that the most common interpretation of invitations including the word 'time' was that it was a question about "what happened." Additionally, participants rarely identified the pseudotemporal problem, especially in cases where the child's IDK response was unelaborated. Lastly, their ability to detect the pseudotemporal problem was significantly related to their reasoning for why children provided IDK responses.

Background: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) technology reveals biological processes and molecular-level genomic information among individual cells. Numerous computational methods, including methods based on graph neural networks (GNNs), have been developed to enhance scRNA-Seq data analysis. However, existing GNNs-based methods usually construct fixed graphs by applying the k-nearest neighbors algorithm, which may result in information loss.

Background: Bladder cancer (BC) is a prevalent malignancy characterized by significant cellular heterogeneity. While single-cell multi-omics studies have provided valuable insights, much of the existing data remains underexplored, limiting our understanding of BC's molecular mechanisms. Uncovering the pathogenesis of BC and finding new treatment methods are urgent problems to be solved.

The single-cell pseudotemporal trajectory inference is an important way to explore the process of developmental changes within a cell. Due to the uneven rate of cell growth, changes in gene expression depend less on the time of data collection and more on a cell's "internal clock". To overcome the challenges of gene analysis, and replicate biological developmental processes, several strategies have been put forth.

Forensic interviewers ask children broad input-free recall questions about individual episodes in order to elicit complete narratives, often asking about "the first time," "the last time," and "one time." An overlooked problem is that the word "time" is potentially ambiguous, referring both to a particular episode and to conventional temporal information. We examined 191 6-9-year-old maltreated children's responses to questions about recent events varying the wording of the invitations, either asking children to "tell me about" or "tell me what happened" one time/the first time/the last time the child experienced recent recurrent events.
