Directional Decisions in an Egress task: Systematic manipulation of the relative speed, onset, and onset asynchrony of neighboring pedestrians

Creator:

Durand, Lucy A.

Abstract:

Examining directional decisions has proven easier in experiments with fish than in humans. With virtual reality, it is now easier to investigate directional decision-making behavior in humans. This remote virtual study examined directional decisions in 109 participants after watching virtual pedestrians, walking at different speeds and entering at different times,...

Physical activity levels of children with autism spectrum disorder

Creator:

Johnson, Courtney P.

Abstract:

The low physical activity levels of children today are a cause for serious concern. When examining certain populations of children, such as children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), there is a possibility of even lower overall physical activity levels. However, when exploring the current literature examining the physical activity levels...

Comparison of Relationship between Accelerometer Outputs and Energy Expenditures in People with and without Down syndrome during Walking Activity

Creator:

Leung, Chun (Willie)

Abstract:

In recent years, there has been an increased interest in accurately measuring physical activity levels with accelerometers. Two distinct approaches have been used to estimate physical activity levels with accelerometers are vertical axis activity counts and vector magnitude (VM). Although previous studies evaluated these two distinct approaches for individuals without...
