Hu B; Zhu J; Pei Y; Gu X pubmed id: 39910074

This study talks about using big computer programs called large language models to help improve how teachers plan their lessons, especially in math. The computer can pretend to be a student and teacher to help make the lesson plans better. This new way could help teachers make lesson plans almost as good as the ones made by real teachers.

Şencan RS; Mesquita B; Hoemann K pubmed id: 39906196

The research looks at how well immigrants feel they fit into their new culture by studying their emotions and the words they use to describe them. The study found that the words people use can show their cultural fit better than their feelings. But for some immigrants, feeling similar emotions doesn't always mean they fit in in the same way with their new culture.

Mailick M; Bennett T; DaWalt LS; Durkin MS; Forbes G; Howlin P; Lord C; Zaidman-Zait A; Zwaigenbaum L; Bal V; Bishop S; Chiang CH; DiMartino A; Freitag CM; Georgiades S; Hollocks M; Lai MC; Maenner MJ; Powell PS; Taylor JL; Halladay A pubmed id: 39902495

Autism is a disorder that starts in childhood, but it can change as people get older because of different influences. This paper talks about how things like family, school, and community can affect autism and why it's important to study these influences. Looking at these factors can help understand how autism develops and what can support people with autism.

Yi X; Liu X; Liu X; Chen G; Xie Y; Lin C; Lv H; Li Y; Wu S pubmed id: 39902117

The study looked at how happy and healthy older people in China are. It focused on something called "flourishing," which is about feeling good and having a good life, not just being free from problems like sadness or worry. The researchers wanted to find out what helps older people flourish.

Samadi SA; Mahmoodizadeh A; Foladgar M; Moradi SB; Lotfi B; McConkey R pubmed id: 39901456

The study checked if a tool called CARS2 works well in diagnosing autism in Iran. It found that CARS2 is mostly reliable and helps to tell apart kids with autism from those without it, although it’s not as good at distinguishing autism from intellectual disabilities. Parents and testers found it useful, too.

Patient empowerment: a critical evaluation and prescription for a foundational definition.

Varela AJ; Gallamore MJ; Hansen NR; Martin DC pubmed id: 39895979

This research paper talks about how healthcare isn't always matching up with what it should do. It looks at how we need to better understand and agree on what helping patients feel in control (empowerment) means. The paper wants to help people make a clear definition of patient empowerment for future studies.

Interrogating artificial agency.

Wong HY pubmed id: 39895975

The paper talks about whether computers or robots can really do things on their own, like people do. Some people say yes, and some say no, but it hasn’t been talked about in a clear way. The paper tries to explore how we can study and understand this question better.

Is PTSD symptomatology a mechanism of emotional regulation? Insights from an interdisciplinary point of view.

Rojas-Saffie JP; Álamos-Vial N; Pinzón-Merchán M pubmed id: 39895970

The research discusses PTSD, a condition that affects people's feelings and reactions after a traumatic event. Some think PTSD may help keep people safe by avoiding things they can't handle, but it’s often linked to emotional issues. The study uses different ideas to understand PTSD better and decides it should still be seen as an emotional problem.

mA-mRNA Reader YTHDF2 Identified as a Potential Risk Gene in Autism With Disproportionate Megalencephaly.

Nishizaki SS; Haghani NK; La GN; Mariano NAF; Uribe-Salazar JM; Kaya G; Regester M; Andrews DS; Nordahl CW; Amaral DG; Dennis MY pubmed id: 39887636

Researchers are studying a special form of autism where kids have larger brains and challenges with learning. They found new genes that might help explain why this happens. Using zebrafish, they discovered how changes in one of these genes can affect brain size and possibly autism symptoms.

Cortical Thickness Differences in Autistic Children With and Without Intellectual Disability.

Andrews DS; Dakopolos AJ; Lee JK; Heath B; Cordero D; Solomon M; Amaral DG; Nordahl CW pubmed id: 39887572

This study looked at the thickness of the brain's cortex in young kids with autism and different levels of thinking ability. They found that for autistic kids, having a thinner cortex was linked to higher IQ, while those with lower IQs had a thicker cortex. The study also saw that these patterns matched up in some ways with how severe their autism symptoms were.

My Bad, You Got This: witnessing, therapist attitude and the synergy between psychedelics and inner healing intelligence in the treatment of trauma.

Fischman L pubmed id: 39886548

The study talks about a new way to help people who have been through tough times using something called MDMA-assisted therapy. The medicine helps people trust more, which makes it easier for them to talk to a therapist about their feelings. This method helps people feel like their problems are being understood and makes them feel better.

The Impact of Attentiveness Interventions on Survey Data.

Fuller CM; Simmering MJ; Waterwall B; Ragland E; Twitchell DP; Wall A pubmed id: 39886384

Researchers studied how methods to improve survey response quality, like making sure people pay attention, affect survey errors. They used special checks and tracked mouse movements to see if these methods helped. They found that these methods did improve attention but didn't change another type of error in surveys.

Manipulating self and other schemas to explore psychological processes associated with paranoid beliefs: an online experimental study.

Martinez AP; Milne E; Rowse G; Bentall RP pubmed id: 39886371

The research talks about how our early experiences with others shape how we act and think about people. If these experiences make us feel unsure, they might make us believe others are untrustworthy. Some experiments have tried to change these thoughts and found success, but no one has studied how it affects our judgment about trusting others.

Kolar E; Biloslavo R; Pišot R; Veličković S; Tušak M pubmed id: 39886368

Coaches make different kinds of decisions during sports practice and games. Some decisions are planned out carefully, while others are made quickly when something unexpected happens. This study tries to explain how coaches decide what to do in these different situations.

Social support from different sources and its relationship with stress in spaceflight analog environments.

Bell ST; Anderson SR; Roma PG; Landon LB; Dev SI pubmed id: 39886366

The study looked at how people feel supported by others when they are isolated for a long time, like in space. It found that over time, people felt less support from family, friends, and other sources, but they still felt support from their crewmates, which helped them feel less stressed. Understanding how support from others can be improved is important for people living in isolation.
