Visual images of disgusting creatures facilitated attentional orienting and delayed attentional disengagement
Cogn Process. 2023 Sep 26. doi: 10.1007/s10339-023-01162-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNumerous studies have suggested that threatening stimuli induce a spatial attention bias; however, only a few studies have investigated spatial attention biases for disgusting stimuli. Moreover, past studies generally reported that the spatial attention bias to disgusting images is not robustly in normal individuals. We hypothesized that this was due to the unfamiliar of the images, so we prepared the creature's images that were clearly categorized as disgusting and examined the effects of disgusting images on spatial attention bias. ...

Use of default option nudge and individual differences in everyday life decisions
Cogn Process. 2023 Sep 23. doi: 10.1007/s10339-023-01161-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeople often make inefficient decisions for themselves and the community (e.g. they underuse medical screenings or vaccines and they do not vote) also because of their individual characteristics, such as their level of avoidance or anxiety. In recent years, governments have successfully applied strategies, called "nudges", to help people maximizing their decisions in several fields; however, the role of individual characteristics has been poorly explored. The present study investigated whether one kind of nudge, the default option (au...

The ecological dynamics of trumpet improvisation
Cogn Process. 2023 Sep 22. doi: 10.1007/s10339-023-01159-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe nature of music improvisation continues to provide an interesting showcase of the multifaceted and skilful ways we engage with and act within our environments. Improvising musicians are somehow able to generate musical material in real time that adaptively navigates musical situations. In this article I explore the broader aspects of improvised activity-such as our bodily interactions with the instrument and environment-as they relate to improvised music-making. I do so by drawing upon principles from the embodied cognitive scienc...

Describing and understanding the time course of the property listing task
Cogn Process. 2023 Sep 16. doi: 10.1007/s10339-023-01160-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo study linguistically coded concepts, researchers often resort to the Property Listing Task (PLT). In a PLT, participants are asked to list properties that describe a concept (e.g., for DOG, subjects may list "is a pet", "has four legs", etc.). When PLT data is collected for many concepts, researchers obtain Conceptual Properties Norms (CPNs), which are used to study semantic content and as a source of control variables. Though the PLT and CPNs are widely used across psychology, only recently a model that describes the listing cours...
