Hierarchies of description enable understanding of cognitive phenomena in terms of neuron activity
Cogn Process. 2024 Mar 14. doi: 10.1007/s10339-024-01181-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOne objective of neuroscience is to understand a wide range of specific cognitive processes in terms of neuron activity. The huge amount of observational data about the brain makes achieving this objective challenging. Different models on different levels of detail provide some insight, but the relationship between models on different levels is not clear. Complex computing systems with trillions of components like transistors are fully understood in the sense that system features can be precisely related to transistor activity. Such u...

Conflict in moral and nonmoral decision making: an empirical study coupled with a computational model
Cogn Process. 2024 Mar 7. doi: 10.1007/s10339-024-01178-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhile moral psychology research has extensively studied decision making using moral dilemmas, such high-conflict situations may not fully represent all moral decisions. Moreover, most studies on the effect of conflict have focused on nonmoral decisions, and it is unclear how it applies to the moral realm. The present mixed-method research investigates how conflict impacts moral compared to nonmoral decision making. In a preregistered empirical study ( N = 42 ), participants made moral and nonmoral decisions with varying levels of conf...

Form perception is a cognitive correlate of the relation between subitizing ability and math performance
Cogn Process. 2024 Feb 29. doi: 10.1007/s10339-024-01175-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACT"Subitizing" defines a phenomenon whereby approximately four items can be quickly and accurately processed. Studies have shown the close association between subitizing and math performance, however, the mechanism for the association remains unclear. The present study was conducted to investigate whether form perception assessed on a serial figure matching task is a potential non-numerical mechanism between subitizing ability and math performance. Three-hundred and seventy-three Chinese primary school students completed four kinds of d...

Chronic exercise and neuropsychological function in healthy young adults: a randomised controlled trial investigating a running intervention
Cogn Process. 2024 Feb 29. doi: 10.1007/s10339-024-01177-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDespite the well-known physical and mental health benefits of regular exercise, many of the world's population, including healthy young adults, grossly undershoot recommended physical activity levels. Chronic exercise has potential to improve cognitive performance and affect in most age groups. However, there is currently a poverty of relevant research in young adults, especially randomised controlled trials. To address this, the current research investigated the effects of a running intervention on neuropsychological function (cognit...
