by Candace Martinez, Leandro M. Ledesma, Lisa K. Chinn, & Elena L. Grigorenko DOI: 10.1093/milmed/usae212 Introduction This study investigated the influence of stimulus color wavelength on cognitive performance in a virtual reality (VR) Go/No-Go task by assessing participant’s reaction time and accuracy. Previous research has indicated that color has a variety of cognitive, physiological, and …

by Olga V. Burenkova & Elena L. Grigorenko DOI: 10.1002/dev.22479 Abstract Maternal care during the early postnatal period of altricial mammals is a key factor in the survival and adaptation of offspring to environmental conditions. Natural variations in maternal care and experimental manipulations with maternal-child relationships modeling early-life adversity (ELA) in laboratory rats and mice have …
