The role of cue salience in prospective memory commission errors in nonperformed nonfocal tasks
Cogn Process. 2024 Apr 17. doi: 10.1007/s10339-024-01190-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProspective memory (PM) refers to the ability to remember to execute an intention in the future without having a permanent reminder. These intentions can be performed when they are not relevant or become no-longer needed, the so-called "commission errors". The present study aims to understand the effect of cue salience on PM commission errors with unperformed intentions and on the ongoing task performance-associated costs. Through a between-subjects design, eighty-one participants were assigned to 3 conditions: the no-PM condition, wh...

Autistic traits and anthropomorphism: the case of vehicle fascia perception
Cogn Process. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.1007/s10339-024-01187-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIndividuals high in autistic traits can have difficulties with social interactions which may stem from difficulties with mentalizing abilities, yet findings from research investigating anthropomorphism of non-human objects in high trait individuals are inconsistent. Measuring emotions and attributes of front-facing vehicles, individuals scoring high versus low on the AQ-10 were compared for ratings of angry-happy, hostile-friendly, masculine-feminine, and submissive-dominant, as a function of vehicle size (large versus small). Our res...

Differences in scanpath pattern and verbal working memory predicts efficient reading in the Cloze gap-filling test
Cogn Process. 2024 Apr 13. doi: 10.1007/s10339-024-01189-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDifferent tests measure text comprehension, including the cloze gap-filling test, often used for language learning. Different studies hypothesized cognitive strategies in this type of test and their relationship with working memory and performance. However, no study investigated the cloze test, working memory, and possible cognitive strategies, while performing the test. Therefore, this study aimed to identify cognitive visual strategies in the cloze test by applying an unsupervised algorithm and to analyze the relationship between th...

Sound symbolism in manual and vocal responses: phoneme-response interactions associated with grasping as well as vertical and size dimensions of keypresses
Cogn Process. 2024 Apr 12. doi: 10.1007/s10339-024-01188-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIt has been shown that reading the vowel [i] and consonant [t] facilitates precision grip responses, while [ɑ] and [k] are associated with faster power grip responses. A similar effect has been observed when participants perform responses with small or large response keys. The present study investigated whether the vowels and consonants could produce different effects with the grip responses and keypresses when the speech units are read aloud (Experiment 1) or silently (Experiment 2). As a second objective, the study investigated whe...

The role of body-object interaction in children's concept processing: insights from two Chinese communities
This study suggests that BOI measures may be sensitive to the ecological differences between tested communities. The findings support the need for further investigations into the BOI effect across Chinese communities, particularly those in Mainland China.PMID:38587612 | DOI:10.1007/s10339-024-01185-1 (Source: Cognitive Processing)

Highly logical and non-emotional decisions in both risky and social contexts: understanding decision making in autism spectrum disorder through computational modeling
Cogn Process. 2024 Mar 25. doi: 10.1007/s10339-024-01182-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn risky contexts, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) individuals exhibit more logical consistency and non-emotional decisions than do typical adults (TAs). This way of deciding could be also prevailing in social contexts, leading to maladaptive decisions. This evidence is scarce and inconsistent, and further research is needed. Recent developments in computational modeling allow analysis of decisional subcomponents that could provide valuable information to understand the decision-making and help address inconsistencies. Twenty-seven ind...

Phonological awareness and RAN contribute to Chinese reading and arithmetic for different reasons
Cogn Process. 2024 Mar 25. doi: 10.1007/s10339-024-01184-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study investigated how phonological awareness and rapid automatized naming (hereafter, RAN), simultaneously contributed to Chinese reading and arithmetic fluency. Specifically, we proposed a new hypothesized mechanism that processing speed would mediate the relations of RAN with Chinese reading and arithmetic fluency. One hundred and forty-five Chinese children at the fifth grade were administered with a battery of measures, including three phonological processing measures, character reading, and whole number computation, ...
