Marta Castellar Cárdenas; María Del Carmen Romero López; Y María Del Pilar Jiménez Tejada – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
The current pandemic has highlighted the importance of hand hygiene as a preventive measure to avoid the transmission of diseases. It is a habit that should be reinforced during childhood, so that it lasts into adulthood. The main objective was to analyse and describe, through drawing, the mental schemas that 6-12 year-old pupils have about clean…

Lee, Yongseong; Jeong, Su Keun – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
During the COVID-19 pandemic, face masks have been widely used in daily life. Previous studies have suggested that faces wearing typical masks that occlude the lower half of the face are perceived as more attractive than face without masks. However, relatively little work has been done on how transparent masks that reveal the lower half of the…

Freud, Erez; Di Giammarino, Daniela; Camilleri, Carmel – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Face masks became prevalent across the globe as an efficient tool to stop the spread of COVID-19. A host of studies already demonstrated that masks lead to changes in facial identification and emotional expression processing. These changes were documented across ages and were consistent even with the increased exposure to masked faces. Notably,…

Yuejin Li; Sierra Cary-Brown; Monica Ochapa; Sara Rostampour; Anita Smith Hawkins – Journal of American College Health, 2024
Objective: Young adults of age 18-29 years old account for the most COVID-19 cases in the US, and ethnic groups were affected disproportionately. Correctly wearing a face mask remains a critical intervention for COVID-19 mitigation. The study aimed to examine how well Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) residents adhered to mask…

Anthony; Moore, Zack; Polage, Christopher R.; Puglin, Jamie; Spotts, P. Hunter; Vaughn, John A.; Wolfe, Cameron R. – Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020
In fall 2020, Duke University's COVID-19 prevention strategy included risk reduction behaviors, frequent testing using pooled SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction testing, and contact tracing. Among 10,265 students who received testing 68,913 times, 84 had positive results. One half of infections were asymptomatic, and some had high viral loads.…

Blanco, Megan; Eitland, Erika – National Association of State Boards of Education, 2020
State and local officials who shuttered school buildings to stem the spread of COVID-19 in early 2020 are beginning to plan for the return of students and staff. They will need evidence-based strategies to know how best to create and maintain safe, healthy spaces. To inform their plans, federal health officials have provided guidance on cleaning…

Crinnion, Anne Marie; Toscano, Joseph C.; Toscano, Cheyenne M. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Over the past two years, face masks have been a critical tool for preventing the spread of COVID-19. While previous studies have examined the effects of masks on speech recognition, much of this work was conducted early in the pandemic. Given that human listeners are able to adapt to a wide variety of novel contexts in speech perception, an open…
