Why do transient changes in processing sometimes influence perceived truth, whereas similar processing experiences have little or even opposite effects? We propose a theoretical framework specifying when prediction-error-related changes in processing...
The examination of individual differences in spelling ability in adults is potentially theoretically informative but has attracted little research attention. Most of this work has involved speakers of English, and some indicated that orthographic pro...
Background: Neurologic pathologic conditions, including traumatic brain injury (TBI), and natural aging often present with concurrent physical and cognitive challenges. While functional physical capabilities may be accurately and reliably assessed, t...
This integrative literature review examines how generative artificial intelligence is shaping human thinking, cognitive processes and writing practices, with a focus on education across schools, universities, adult learning and professional settings....
Self-directed speech is a well-established aspect of human cognition, although its relationships with self-processes such as self-consciousness, self-rumination, mindfulness, self-concept clarity, and self-esteem remain poorly understood. The present...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by persistent impairments in social communication together with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior. Although ASD has traditionally been viewed primarily as a disorder of neural circuitry, in...
Students are frequently assigned factual readings to learn disciplinary knowledge, yet such readings are often experienced as effortful, externally imposed, and assessment-driven. By contrast, fiction read for pleasure can absorb readers so deeply th...
This study examined how semantic and language-context variability influence online processing during bilingual novel word learning in sentences. Brazilian Portuguese–English bilinguals read novel English–Portuguese cognates embedded in re...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) results in progressive neural degeneration that causes cognitive and non-cognitive symptoms (NCSs). While cognitive symptoms commonly prompt a formal diagnosis, NCSs also contribute significantly to disability, caregive...
This mixed-methods study investigates Italian primary school teachers’ perception-based attributions of giftedness, with specific attention to how gendered classroom recognition patterns may shape the visibility of girls in everyday educational...
Cognitive decline is a global public health challenge, yet the built environments where humans spend 90% of their time are only now being recognized as a means of preventive intervention. This paper presents a mechanistic framework describing how env...
Research on relative clause (RC) attachment ambiguity has shown that parsing preferences vary cross-linguistically, and that bilingual exposure can influence both the L2 and the L1. However, few studies have examined parsing preferences in both langu...
Background/Objectives: Test anxiety can impair working memory, attention, and executive function, raising questions about what might increase cognitive readiness prior to testing. Methods: This study examined how brief meditation, social media use, a...
Preliminary evidence has indicated that attachment style may be an important variable that can influence emotion regulation among individuals with experiences of psychosis. Yet there is a dearth of therapeutic approaches examined that address both co...
Developmental dyslexia is a heterogeneous disorder that has been associated with deficits in various cognitive domains, such as memory and attention. The aim of the present study was to investigate possible deficits in memory and attention in student...
Academic writing is often perceived as unfamiliar and overly formal, partly due to a lack of explicit cognition and instruction regarding coherence. This article contends that such perceptions obscure a fundamental connection between everyday reasoni...
This study investigated whether resting-state EEG coherence in the alpha, beta, and theta frequency bands predicts working memory performance in healthy middle-aged adults (N = 27, aged 49–64). Unlike prior research focusing on young adults or...
Neurocognitive and metacognitive impairments are well-documented in schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs). However, the relationship between these two domains remains underexplored, despite increasing interest in their combined impact on recovery a...
The goal of the current review is to present a general review of the literature regarding the relationship between attention control and working memory, particularly focusing on how the two concepts are defined and experimentally measured. We also ho...
In the current work, we examine whether height perception is determined by head orientation. Our previous work has found that upward head orientation is overestimated by the same factor as downward head orientation, and this is consistent with the di...
Background: Studies on the association between cognitive dysfunction and criminality have shown that individuals in prison, particularly repeat offenders and those convicted of violent crimes, tend to exhibit difficulties in cognitive, social, and em...
Numerous attempts to define art have been made from antiquity to the present, yet historical overviews often adopt a Eurocentric (and American-centric) perspective focused mainly on culturally dependent aesthetic approaches. As a universal social and...
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is consistently linked to multidimensional working memory (WM) impairments, encompassing deficits in sustained attention, verbal and visuospatial processing, and executive control, with inhibitory dysfunction eme...
This study discusses the asymmetric dominance effect in the context of political elections with third-party candidates. Animal and human research both show that the addition or removal of a third option influences choices between the remaining two op...
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive form of brain stimulation that involves passing a weak electrical current between electrodes on the scalp to modulate underlying neural tissue. TDCS has been shown to modulate cognition...
The twenty-first century has witnessed an unprecedented surge in high-quality research devoted to the understanding of cognition [...]
