Age-related differences in associative memory recognition of Chinese characters and hippocampal subfield volumes
Biol Psychol. 2023 Aug 8:108657. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108657. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAssociative memory is a type of hippocampal-dependent episodic memory that declines with age. Studies have examined the neural substrates underlying associative memory and considered the hippocampus holistically; however, the association between associative memory decline and volumetric change in hippocampal subfields in the context of normal aging remains uncharacterized. Leveraging the distinct linguistic features of Chinese characters to evaluate distinct types of false recognition, we investigated age-related difference...

Differences between high and low performers in face recognition in electrophysiological correlates of face familiarity and distance-to-norm
Biol Psychol. 2023 Aug 5;182:108654. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108654. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTValentine's influential norm-based multidimensional face-space model (nMDFS) predicts that perceived distinctiveness of a face increases with its distance to the norm. Occipito-temporal event-related potentials (ERPs) have been recently shown to respond selectively to variations in distance-to-norm (P200) or familiarity (N250, late negativity), respectively (Wuttke & Schweinberger, 2019). Despite growing evidence on interindividual differences in face perception skills at the behavioral level, little research has fo...

Estimation of antibody levels after COVID-19 vaccinations: Preliminary evidence for immune interoception
Biol Psychol. 2023 Aug 4;182:108636. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2023.108636. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo date, 72 % of the world's population has received at least one COVID-19 vaccination. The number of antibodies produced by some individuals is exponentially higher than in others, for various mostly unknown reasons. This variation causes great diversity in the future susceptibility to infection by the original or variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The following study investigated whether individuals were able to estimate the strength of their antibody response after their COVID-19 vaccinations. 166 recently vaccinated ...
