The Direct/Indirect Association of ADHD/ODD Symptoms with Self-esteem, Self-perception, and Depression in Early Adolescents
The present study aimed to reveal the influences of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) symptoms on self-esteem and self-perception during early adolescence and to clarify the spillover effect of self-esteem on depressive symptoms. ADHD symptoms in 564 early adolescents were evaluated via teacher-rating scales. Self-esteem and depressive symptoms were assessed via self-reported scales. We analyzed the relationships among these symptoms using structural equation modeling. Severe inattentive symptoms decreased self-esteem and hyperactive–impulsive symptoms affected self-perception for non-academic domains. Although these ADHD symptoms did not directly affect depressive symptoms, low self-esteem led to severe depression. ODD symptoms had a direct impact on depression without the mediating effects of self-esteem. These results indicated that inattentive symptoms had a negative impact on self-esteem and an indirect negative effect on depressive symptoms in adolescents, even if ADHD symptoms were subthreshold. Severe ODD symptoms can be directly associated with depressive symptoms during early adolescence
Prompter: Utilizing Large Language Model Prompting for a Data Efficient Embodied Instruction Following
Embodied Instruction Following (EIF) studies how mobile manipulator robots
should be controlled to accomplish long-horizon tasks specified by natural
language instructions. While most research on EIF are conducted in simulators,
the ultimate goal of the field is to deploy the agents in real life. As such,
it is important to minimize the data cost required for training an agent, to
help the transition from sim to real. However, many studies only focus on the
performance and overlook the data cost -- modules that require separate
training on extra data are often introduced without a consideration on
deployability. In this work, we propose FILM++ which extends the existing work
FILM with modifications that do not require extra data. While all data-driven
modules are kept constant, FILM++ more than doubles FILM's performance.
Furthermore, we propose Prompter, which replaces FILM++'s semantic search
module with language model prompting. Unlike FILM++'s implementation that
requires training on extra sets of data, no training is needed for our
prompting based implementation while achieving better or at least comparable
performance. Prompter achieves 42.64% and 45.72% on the ALFRED benchmark with
high-level instructions only and with step-by-step instructions, respectively,
outperforming the previous state of the art by 6.57% and 10.31%.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, submitted to ICRA202
Violation of Heisenberg's error-disturbance relation by Stern-Gerlach measurements
Although Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is represented by a rigorously
proven relation about intrinsic indeterminacy in quantum states, Heisenberg's
error-disturbance relation (EDR) has been commonly believed as another aspect
of the principle. However, recent developments of quantum measurement theory
made Heisenberg's EDR testable to observe its violations. Here, we study the
EDR for Stern-Gerlach measurements. In a previous report [arXiv:1910.07929], it
has been pointed out that their EDR is close to the theoretical optimal. The
present note reports that even the original Stern-Gerlach experiment in 1922,
the available experimental data show, violates Heisenberg's EDR. The results
suggest that Heisenberg's EDR is more ubiquitously violated than it has long
been supposed.Comment: v2: 7 pages, 4 figures, updated reference [27]. arXiv admin note:
