Environmental statistics and experience shape risk-taking across adolescence
Trends Cogn Sci. 2023 Sep 20:S1364-6613(23)00228-0. doi: 10.1016/j.tics.2023.08.020. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAdolescents are often portrayed as reckless risk-takers because of their immature brains. Recent research has cast doubt on this portrayal, identifying the environment as a moderator of risk-taking. However, the key features of environments that drive risk-taking behaviors are often underspecified. We call for greater attention to the environment by drawing on research showing that its statistical structure impacts future risk-taking as people learn from outcomes they experience after taking a risk. This opini...

An 'embedded brain' approach to understanding antisocial behaviour
Trends Cogn Sci. 2023 Sep 15:S1364-6613(23)00209-7. doi: 10.1016/j.tics.2023.08.013. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAntisocial behaviour (ASB) incurs substantial costs to the individual and society. Cognitive neuroscience has the potential to shed light on developmental risk for ASB, but it cannot achieve this potential in an 'essentialist' framework that focuses on the brain and cognition isolated from the environment. Here, we present the case for studying the social transactional and iterative unfolding of brain and cognitive development in a relational context. This approach, which we call the study of the 'embedded bra...

Motivating vaccination with financial incentives
Trends Cogn Sci. 2023 Sep 14:S1364-6613(23)00171-7. doi: 10.1016/j.tics.2023.07.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGovernments and organizations often offer cash payments for vaccination. How effective are such payments? A literature review shows that incentives usually increase vaccination, especially for nonhesitant populations and when using guaranteed payments. Concerns about negative unintended consequences are unsupported. We also discuss open questions and avenues for future research.PMID:37716894 | DOI:10.1016/j.tics.2023.07.003 (Source: Trends Cogn Sci)

Living on the edge: network neuroscience beyond nodes
Trends Cogn Sci. 2023 Sep 14:S1364-6613(23)00205-X. doi: 10.1016/j.tics.2023.08.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNetwork neuroscience has emphasized the connectional properties of neural elements - cells, populations, and regions. This has come at the expense of the anatomical and functional connections that link these elements to one another. A new perspective - namely one that emphasizes 'edges' - may prove fruitful in addressing outstanding questions in network neuroscience. We highlight one recently proposed 'edge-centric' method and review its current applications, merits, and limitations. We also seek to establish ...

Prediction during language comprehension: what is next?

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrediction is often regarded as an integral aspect of incremental language comprehension, but little is known about the cognitive architectures and mechanisms that support it. We review studies showing that listeners and readers use all manner of contextual information to generate multifaceted predictions about upcoming input. The nature of these predictions may vary between individuals owing to differences in language experience, among other factors. We then turn to unresolved questions which may guide the se...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHow do team leaders and followers synchronize their behaviors and brains to effectively manage intergroup conflicts? Zhang and colleagues offered a collective neurobehavioral narrative that delves into the intricacies of intergroup conflict. Their results underscore the importance of leaders' group-oriented actions, along with leader-follower synchronization, in intergroup conflict resolution.PMID:37696689 | DOI:10.1016/j.tics.2023.08.021 (Source: Trends Cogn Sci)

A goal-centric outlook on learning
Trends Cogn Sci. 2023 Sep 9:S1364-6613(23)00207-3. doi: 10.1016/j.tics.2023.08.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGoals play a central role in human cognition. However, computational theories of learning and decision-making often take goals as given. Here, we review key empirical findings showing that goals shape the representations of inputs, responses, and outcomes, such that setting a goal crucially influences the central aspects of any learning process: states, actions, and rewards. We thus argue that studying goal selection is essential to advance our understanding of learning. By following existing literature in fram...
