Mechanisms underlying the production effect for singing.
(Canadian Psychological Association, 2019)The production effect is defined as better memory for items that were read aloud compared to items that were read silently. Quinlan and Taylor (2013) expanded the findings of the production effect by demonstrating that ... -
The Acceptability of Deception in Pediatric Research

Sex differences in experimental pain among healthy children: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2014)Sex differences in response to experimental pain are commonly reported in systematic reviews in the adult literature. The objective of the present research was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of sex ... -
Impact of threat level, task instruction, and individual characteristics on cold pressor pain and fear among children and their parents
(John Wiley & Sons, 2015)The cold pressor task (CPT) is increasingly used to induce experimental pain in children, but the specific methodology of the CPT is quite variable across pediatric studies. This study examined how subtle variations in CPT ... -
The epidemiology of chronic pain in children and adolescents revisited: A systematic review
(Wolters Kluwer, 2011)Chronic and recurrent pain not associated with a disease are very common in childhood and adolescence, but studies of pain prevalence have yielded inconsistent findings. This systematic review examined studies of chronic ... -
