Is it harmful or helpful? Examining the causes and consequences of generative AI usage among university students

International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 21(1)

Published: Feb. 16, 2024

Abstract While the discussion on generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, is making waves in academia and popular press, there a need for more insight into use of ChatGPT among students potential harmful or beneficial consequences associated with its usage. Using samples from two studies, current research examined causes usage university students. Study 1 developed validated an eight-item scale to measure by conducting survey (N = 165). 2 used three-wave time-lagged design collect data 494) further validate test study’s hypotheses. also effects academic workload, time pressure, sensitivity rewards, quality students’ levels procrastination, memory loss, performance. provided evidence validity reliability scale. Furthermore, study revealed that when faced higher workload they were likely ChatGPT.

Neurobiology and systems biology of stress resilience

Physiological Reviews, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 104(3), P. 1205 - 1263

Published: March 14, 2024

Stress resilience is the phenomenon that some people maintain their mental health despite exposure to adversity or show only temporary impairments followed by quick recovery. Resilience research attempts unravel factors and mechanisms make possible harness its insights for development of preventative interventions in individuals at risk acquiring stress-related dysfunctions. Biological has been lagging behind psychological social sciences but seen a massive surge recent years.

A model of autonomous interactions between hippocampus and neocortex driving sleep-dependent memory consolidation

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 119(44)

Published: Oct. 24, 2022

How do we build up our knowledge of the world over time? Many theories memory formation and consolidation have posited that hippocampus stores new information, then “teaches” this information to neocortex time, especially during sleep. But it is unclear, mechanistically, how actually works—How are these systems able interact periods with virtually no environmental input accomplish useful learning shifts in representation? We provide a framework for thinking about question, neural network model simulations serving as demonstrations. The composed neocortical areas, which replay memories one another completely autonomously simulated Oscillations leveraged support error-driven leads changes representation behavior. has non–rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep stage, where dynamics between tightly coupled, helping reinstate high-fidelity versions attractors, REM more freely explore existing attractors. find alternating NREM stages, alternately focuses model’s on recent remote facilitates graceful continual learning. thus an account can without any external drive cortical protect old integrated.

Sleep preferentially consolidates negative aspects of human memory: Well-powered evidence from two large online experiments

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 119(44)

Published: Oct. 24, 2022

Research suggests that sleep benefits memory. Moreover, it is often claimed selectively memory for emotionally salient information over neutral information. However, not all scientists are convinced by this relationship [e.g., J. M. Siegel. Curr. Sleep Med. Rep. , 7, 15–18 (2021)]. One criticism of the overall and literature—like other literature—is many studies underpowered lacking in generalizability [M. Cordi, B. Rasch. Opin. Neurobiol. 67, 1–7 (2021)], thus leaving evidence mixed confusing to interpret. Because large replication sorely needed, we recruited 250 participants spanning various age ranges backgrounds an effort confirm sleep’s preferential emotional consolidation benefit using a well-established task. We found negative objects at expense their paired backgrounds, confirming our prior work clearly demonstrating role formation. In second experiment also sample, examined whether effect generalized positive while demonstrated better compared did modulate effect. This research provides strong support sleep-specific on specifically more broadly affirms cognition.

The role of experience in prioritizing hippocampal replay

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: Dec. 9, 2023

Abstract During sleep, recent memories are replayed by the hippocampus, leading to their consolidation, with a higher priority given salient experiences. To examine role of replay in selective strengthening memories, we recorded large ensembles hippocampal place cells while male rats ran repeated spatial trajectories on two linear tracks, differing either familiarity or number laps run. We observed that during rate events for track increased proportionally run animal. In contrast, sleep decreased if animal was more familiar track. Furthermore, find cumulative awake occurring behavior, influenced both novelty and duration an experience, predicts which prioritized replay, providing parsimonious neural correlate memories.
