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, ...

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...

Disgust as a basic, sexual, and moral emotion
In conclusion, the multifaceted structure of disgust shows that it needs to be studied more in the subfields of psychology. (Strohminger, Philos Compass 9:478-493, 2014) defines disgust as a psychological nebula that needs to be discovered. However, it is observed that disgust has not been adequately addressed. This review aims to comprehensively explore unique characteristics and diverse aspects of disgust, shedding light on its significance from various perspectives. This study underscores the broader understanding of disgust and its pivotal role in psychological research.PMID:38520609 | DOI:10.1007/s10339-024-01180-6 (S...

Are realistic details important for learning with visualizations or can depth cues provide sufficient guidance?
Cogn Process. 2024 Mar 21. doi: 10.1007/s10339-024-01183-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe optimal choice of the level of realism in instructional visualizations is a difficult task. Previous studies suggest that realism can overwhelm learners, but a growing body of research demonstrates that realistic details can enhance learning. In the first experiment (n = 107), it was assessed whether learning using realistic visualizations can be distracting and therefore particularly benefits from pre-training. Participants learned the anatomy of the parotid gland using labeled visualizations. While pre-training did not have an e...

How different face mask types affect interpersonal distance perception and threat feeling in social interaction
Cogn Process. 2024 Mar 16. doi: 10.1007/s10339-024-01179-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDue to the easing of the pandemic, public policies no longer mandated people to wear masks. People can choose to no wear or wear different types of masks based on personal preferences and safety perceptions during daily interaction. Available information about the influence of face mask type on interpersonal distance (IPD) by different aging populations is still lacking. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the face mask type (no wear, cloth, medical and N95 mask) and age group effect of avatars (children, adults and older adults) on...

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...
