Memory effects of visual and olfactory landmark information in human wayfinding
Cogn Process. 2023 Nov 30. doi: 10.1007/s10339-023-01169-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNon-human animals are exceptionally good at using smell to find their way through the environment. However, the use of olfactory cues for human navigation is often underestimated. Although the sense of smell is well-known for its distinct connection to memory and emotion, memory effects in human navigation using olfactory landmarks have not been studied yet. Therefore, this article compares wayfinding and recognition performance for visual and olfactory landmarks learned by 52 participants in a virtual maze. Furthermore, it is one of ...

'Should we laugh?' Acoustic features of (in)voluntary laughters in spontaneous conversations
Cogn Process. 2023 Nov 23. doi: 10.1007/s10339-023-01168-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLaughter is one of the most common non-verbal features; however, contrary to the previous assumptions, it may also act as signals of bonding, affection, emotional regulation agreement or empathy (Scott et al. Trends Cogn Sci 18:618-620, 2014). Although previous research agrees that laughter does not form a uniform group in many respects, different types of laughter have been defined differently by individual research. Due to the various definitions of laughter, as well as their different methodologies, the results of the previous exam...

Individual differences in absolute identification as a function of autistic trait levels
Cogn Process. 2023 Nov 2. doi: 10.1007/s10339-023-01166-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study aimed to examine the links between a self-report measure known to be discriminative of autism (the AQ-10) and performance on the classic unidimensional absolute identification judgment task with 10 line lengths. The interest in this task is due to the fact that discriminating absolutely between such items is quite perceptually challenging and also that it is not very amenable to generalization. Importantly, there are two currently available views of perceptual learning in autism that suggest that those higher on the a...

The influence of classical music on learning and memory in rats: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Cogn Process. 2023 Nov 2. doi: 10.1007/s10339-023-01167-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDuring the learning process, music can activate important neural areas in the brain, promoting the retention of information and memory formation. However, studies testing music effects on memory had found different improvements, which could be due to the methodological differences across studies. Thus, the purpose of this article was to systematically review the literature and meta-analyze the effects of music on Rattus norvegicus' explicit memory (Maze tests) only in controlled investigations. The seven studies included led to a very ...
