“…Our effective, easy-to-implement intervention is particularly relevant in situations where the impact of costly, nonhabitual behaviors is not easily seen or experienced. Our work can also inform policymakers who seek to change public behavior in other fields such as environment conservation (Hao et al, 2020;Hopper & Nielsen, 1991;Hou et al, 2019;Moser, 2010;Semenza et al, 2008;Wolf & Moser, 2011) and personal health (Bruvold, 1993;Danaei et al, 2009;Dohle & Dawson, 2017;Dohle & Hofmann, 2019;Finucane et al, 2011;Hofmann et al, 2008;Malik et al, 2013;Sieverding et al, 2020;Vogel et al, 2016). A prominent example is behaviors aimed at counteracting climate change, such as recycling, conserving energy, and using public transportation.…”

The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic presented policymakers with the need to change people’s behavior in a fundamental way and for an extended period of time. Changing habits is difficult and requires sustained effort, and sustaining effort is especially difficult when it does not seem to yield conspicuous results. The COVID-19 pandemic presented exactly this difficulty, as numbers of infected people continued to rise despite the public’s efforts. In a representative sample from Israel ( N = 600), collected online during the first outbreak of the pandemic, we found that compared to control conditions in which information on only actual infection cases was presented, counterfactual information on the number of averted cases enhances the perceived effectiveness of following the guidelines, which, in turn, enhances perceived importance and intention of doing so (e.g., intention to restrict mobility), but only among those who understood the information. The findings align with self-regulation theories and have practical implications for policymakers.

Objective: Approximately 800,000 people die globally from colorectal cancer (CRC) every year. Prevention programmes promote early detection, but for people with pre-cancerous lesions, tailoring surveillance to include lifestyle-change programmes could enhance prevention potential and improve outcomes. Methods:Those with intermediate or high-risk polyps removed during CRC-screening colonoscopy within the Northern Ireland CRC Screening programme were invited to complete 8 discrete choice questions about tailored surveillance, analysed using random-parameters logit and latent class modelling approach.Results: 231 participants, (77% male) self-reported comorbid hypertension (53%), high cholesterol (48%) and mean BMI of 28.7 (overweight). Although 39% of participants were unaware of their CRC risk-status, 30.9% indicated they were already making changes to reduce their risk. Although all respondents were significantly risk and cost averse, the latent class analysis identified three segments (classes): i)Class 1 (26.8%) significantly favoured phone or email support for a lifestyle change, a 17-month testing interval, and non-invasive testing.ii) Class 2 (48.4%) preferred the status-quo.iii) Class 3 (24.7%) significantly favoured further risk reduction and invasive testing.Conclusions: This is the first documented preference study focusing on post-polypectomy surveillance offering lifestyle interventions. Although current care is strongly preferred, risk and cost aversion are important for participants. Latent class analysis shows that some respondents are willing to change diet and lifestyle behaviours, reflecting a teachable moment, with opportunities to personalise and optimise surveillance. Significant discordance between perceived and known risk of recurrence and limited recall of risk information provided within current practice suggest necessary improvements to surveillance programmes.

“…Merkley et al (2016) utilizaram um paradigma artificial de aprendizado de símbolos para contrastar o aprendizado da magnitude numérica aproximada com o aprendizado da ordem numérica. Para investigar os correlatos neurais da percepção de risco à saúde, as respostas cerebrais de indivíduos com numeração baixa e alta foram medidas usando ressonância magnética funcional na pesquisa relatada por Vogel et al (2016). Por fim, objetivaram monitorar a influência dos testes realizados sob alta e baixa pressão combinando medidas de desempenho comportamental com índices de eletroencefalografia (EEG) de monitoramento de respostas.…”

A aprendizagem de matemática é um assunto que recentemente tem sido foco de pesquisas não só da área de Educação Matemática como também da área de Neurociência Cognitiva e Psicologia. Abrir espaço para entender o processamento numérico e a assimilação de conceitos matemáticos pelo comportamento cognitivo tem sido o objetivo de diversos pesquisadores. Esse artigo propõe apresentar diálogos da literatura com o tema e um panorama sobre como a Educação Matemática tem aberto espaço para as pesquisas que trazem contribuições para a aprendizagem de matemática por meio de artefatos da Neurociência Cognitiva. Para isso, inicialmente foi feito um diálogo com referências bibliográficas acerca das possíveis contribuições da Neurociência Cognitiva para a aprendizagem matemática. Em seguida traz-se evidências de pesquisas contemporâneas que foram apresentadas em “territórios legitimados” da Educação Matemática. Possibilidades são apontadas para que as pesquisas que visam envolver as duas instâncias possam ser legitimadas e consigam alcançar seus objetivos.
