Hey Jess!

I was reading through. A good start. The eye picture is a bit too small for me to read the labels though. Also did you be careful about copyrights with the picture? Also, its seems a touch disjointed. Like, Fact. Fact. Fact. Not much flow. I’m not sure the best way to improve that though. But other than that, good overview of the eye, its looking good!

Good luck, Madie. Laney3691 (discuss • contribs)

Hi Jess!

Its Brooke again! I have come back to have a look at your chapter progress and have noticed that your contents page looks like this:

1

1.1
1.2
1.3
 1.3.1
 1.3.2
1.4
 1.4.1
 1.4.2
1.5

while this looks okay, it was suggested on moodle by another student as well as James that it looks a lot better when it is presented like this:

1

2

3

3.1
3.2

4

4.1
4.2

5

To do this instead of putting three of these (===) in front of the title/heading you just need to put two == (heading)== I realize when I put the above information in Wiki decided to make it look rather strange with how it is formatted when I click save so to make things clear here is a link to the moodle post > http://learnonline.canberra.edu.au/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=308213

hope this helps :) Brookelouise23 (discuss • contribs) 12:31, 21 October 2014 (UTC)brookelouise23Brookelouise23 (discuss • contribs) 12:31, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi Jess,

Your chapter topic is of great interest to me so i decided I would do some research on Pupil dilation myself. Your layout for your chapter looks really interesting and i look forward to reading more once you progress through your chapter, in particularly the section on lie detection which grabs my attention I think it would be so interesting to read!

I have found some articles for you that would be interesting and relevant to use in your chapter in regards to deception and the pupil. The first one is called deception and pupil size. the link is:

http://zh9bf5sp6t.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info%3Aofi%2Fenc%3AUTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/summon.serialssolutions.com&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal&rft.genre=article&rft.atitle=Deception+and+pupil+size&rft.jtitle=Journal+of+Clinical+Psychology&rft.au=Heilveil%2C+Ira&rft.date=1976-07-01&rft.issn=0021-9762&rft.eissn=1097-4679&rft.volume=32&rft.issue=3&rft.spage=675&rft.epage=676&rft_id=info:doi/10.1002%2F1097-4679%28197607%2932%3A3%3C675%3A%3AAID-JCLP2270320340%3E3.0.CO%3B2-A&rft.externalDBID=n%2Fa&rft.externalDocID=10_1002_1097_4679_197607_32_3_675__AID_JCLP2270320340_3_0_CO_2_A&paramdict=en-US

The above article involves an experiment conducted to investigate the hypothesis that verbally deceptive responses accompany an increase in pupil dilation. As most research supports the hypothesis that 'pupils dilate in proportion to a general increase in autonomic activity' and because deception has long been thought of as requiring an accompanying increase in autonomic activity then the pupil may be an observable source of leakage. One researcher found that galvanic skin response (often used as a lie detecting device) and measurements of the pupil were significantly correlated.

Another article you may find really interesting is called Cues to perception:

http://zh9bf5sp6t.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info%3Aofi%2Fenc%3AUTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/summon.serialssolutions.com&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal&rft.genre=article&rft.atitle=Cues+to+deception&rft.jtitle=Psychological+Bulletin&rft.au=DePaulo%2C+Bella+M&rft.au=Lindsay%2C+James+J&rft.au=Malone%2C+Brian+E&rft.au=Muhlenbruck%2C+Laura&rft.date=2003&rft.issn=0033-2909&rft.eissn=1939-1455&rft.volume=129&rft.issue=1&rft.spage=74&rft.epage=118&rft_id=info:doi/10.1037%2F0033-2909.129.1.74&rft.externalDBID=n%2Fa&rft.externalDocID=10_1037_0033_2909_129_1_74&paramdict=en-US

This article has some interesting information about deception. Such as when people are lying they behave differently and it was found that 158 cues to deception are reported. Also Cues are also more pronounced when people are motivated to succeed. This could be a good starting point to your topic also.

Another article you may find interesting in regards to pupil dilation and emotion is called: Processing of Observed Pupil Size Modulates Perception of Sadness and Predicts Empathy. link:

http://zh9bf5sp6t.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info%3Aofi%2Fenc%3AUTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/summon.serialssolutions.com&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal&rft.genre=article&rft.atitle=Cues+to+deception&rft.jtitle=Psychological+Bulletin&rft.au=DePaulo%2C+Bella+M&rft.au=Lindsay%2C+James+J&rft.au=Malone%2C+Brian+E&rft.au=Muhlenbruck%2C+Laura&rft.date=2003&rft.issn=0033-2909&rft.eissn=1939-1455&rft.volume=129&rft.issue=1&rft.spage=74&rft.epage=118&rft_id=info:doi/10.1037%2F0033-2909.129.1.74&rft.externalDBID=n%2Fa&rft.externalDocID=10_1037_0033_2909_129_1_74&paramdict=en-US

This article discusses how emotional arousal can be a reflection in the magnitude of pupil dilation which is believed to be an effect exploited historically by women through the use of belladonna eye drops.Also found was that observed pupil size (an exclusively autonomic facial physiological signal) influences the perceived intensity and valence of expressions of sadness and that this interaction between pupil size and (facial muscular) expression induces corresponding “contagious” pupil responses in the viewer.

I hope this helps JessBrewis and I look forward to watching you progress through your chapter. I will check back often and help when I can. Good luck!!

If you have time or are interested my book chapter is called 'Dehydration and mood', I would appreciate any suggestions or advice you may have also or even if you would like to know more about my topic. My chapter can be found here >> https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Motivation_and_emotion/Book/2014/Dehydration_and_mood

I have not put up information or research as of yet as I am still in research mode.

Thanks JessBrewis

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 03:27, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Good Link

Hey Jess!

Your chapter looks great so far! I found a study that may help you if youd like to use it :) It measured pupil dilation in relation to recognition of words (memory). They used positive, negative and neutral emotionality words I believe. I quickly skinned it over but I believe it would be pretty useful to you!

Here's the link. You just need to sign in and on the left-hand side there will be a link for the full pdf.

Good luck with the rest of the chapter! Looking forward to reading it

Suggestion

Hey Jess, Just a suggestion but maybe you could talk about how certain drugs influence pupil dilation and whether they correlate with any emotions (like caffeine yay)? I also think a good place to go for talking about brain stuff is to talk about what happens when there is brain damage present, whether in emotional or visual processing or whatever - it might have an effect on pupil dilation? Just some thoughts, good luck!

Chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via Moodle, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a well prepared chapter that combines theory and research in a practical way to explore an applied topic. See my copyedits and comments below for further information. Theory The overview was brief but focused and helpful. The explanation of how the eye works could be summarised, with interwiki links to further information, and rewritten to be shaped more specifically to describing pupil dilation/constriction (only one sentence is provided about how this functions physiologically). Oxytocin is discussed, but there is no mention of its relationship to pupil dilation. More explanation could be provided about the relationship between ANS activity and pupil activity. In general, there is a lack of theoretical psychology focus. Research Several interesting, relevant research studies are disucssed. When describing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Some statements were unreferenced - see the tags Written expression The chapter was well prepared and well written and is usefully illustrated by figures and boxes, with a handy summary and quiz. Some paragraphs were overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences. Learning features Adding more interwiki links would make the text more interactive. Some external links to Wikipedia articles are provided; these should be converted to internal links. Spelling, grammar and proofreading In general, the chapter was well prepared in terms of spelling, grammar and proofreading. The grammar for some sentences could be improved - see the tags Check capitalisation consistency (e.g., autonomic nervous system and Autonomic Nervous System are both used) APA style et al -> et al. APA for the References is very good. To improve, remove the issue numbers for seriated journals (most of them).

Overall Overall, this is a good presentation - well done. Structure and content The presentation is sufficient as a basic recorded presentation of some main ideas and research behind pupil dilation and emotion. The presentation provides good coverage of the research behind pupil dilation and emotion, however, the content itself is somewhat dry (academic) and could be made more interesting e.g., by using a case study or additional illustrative examples. There is also very little, if any, reference to theory – try to balance the bulk of descriptive information in the beginning of the presentation with both theory and research. The overview slide was effective in orientating the viewer to the direction the presentation would take. The slides on the relationship between pupil dilation, love, sadness and cognitive effort were interesting and well presented. A conclusion and application of knowledge learnt to everyday life was provided. Communication Communication is ok (not particularly clear or engaging) and generally well-paced. Communication using image and illustrative examples is basic. The presentation could be improved significantly by using more images and illustrative examples – this would make the presentation more engaging. The presentation could also be improved by speaking at a louder volume and using more variation in tone of voice – this would engage the reader more and make it sound less like the content is being read directly off the slides or a transcript and more like it is part of a presentation/conversation. Production quality Production quality and tools used were basic, but effective. Sound and picture quality was good, however there was some background noise. There is no reference list provided and the source of images is not acknowledged. A standard youtube license is mentioned. There is a link to and from the book chapter.
