Point-of-interest (POI) recommendations in location-based social networks (LBSNs) allow online users to discover various POIs for social activities occurring in the near future close to their current locations. Research has verified that people’s pre...
This study investigates the relationship between semantic memory and social cognition in schizophrenia. The sample included 50 individuals with schizophrenia (mean age 42.54, SD 9.98; 14 women, 36 men) and 30 controls (mean age 42.06, SD 12.50; 6 wom...
In social networks comprised of positive (P) and negative (N) symmetric relations, individuals (nodes) will, under the stress of structural balance, alter their relations (links or edges) with their neighbours, either from positive to negative or vic...
Children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) demonstrate deficits in social functioning that contribute to early withdrawal from school and delinquency, as well as the development of anxiety and depression. Dopamine is involved in reward, m...
Previous research consistently identified depression and anxiety as leading contributors to the global disease burden. Recognizing risk and protective factors that lead to or guard against negative mental health outcomes therefore remains a research...
Although sleep is heritable and conserved across species, sleep duration varies from individual to individual. A shared genetic architecture between sleep duration and other evolutionarily important traits could explain this variability. Learning and...
Social participation is an important tool in heritage conservation, but levels remain low in developing countries. To increase social-participation awareness of urban-heritage conservation, this study aimed to find an effective method to determine th...

One of the prominent interventions to tackle loneliness and social isolation in older adults is social facilitation. The present study investigated whether similarities in cognitive functions that are sensitive to age play a role in confidant social...
The deficiency of the gaseous molecule nitric oxide (NO) seems to be critically involved in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Thus, molecules that can normalize NO levels, as are NO donors, might be of utility for the medication of this psychiatric...
As large language models (LLMs) and vision–language models (VLMs) become increasingly used in robotics area, a crucial question arises: to what extent do these models replicate human-like cognitive processes, particularly within socially intera...
Large Language Models (LLMs), particularly those enhanced through Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback, such as ChatGPT, have opened up new possibilities for natural and open-ended spoken interaction in social robotics. However, these models ar...
Improving the brand value of agricultural cultural heritage can promote the development of the local social economy. Meanwhile, cultural memory and brand value are inseparable. Therefore, this study took the Anxi Tieguanyin Tea Culture System as the...
Background/Objectives: Situations previously paired with drug use can become conditioned stimuli (i.e., physical stress or psychosocial stress) that elicit intense craving and relapse, even after prolonged abstinence. Previous studies have shown that...
Virtual reality (VR) is a 3D space created by computer graphics technology and immersive devices. In addition to providing a new visual experience, users can also interact with others in the virtual world to address any of their needs. In recent year...
Dual-task paradigms that combine cognitive and motor tasks offer a valuable lens for detecting subtle impairments in cognitive and physical functioning, especially in older adults. This study used artificial neural network (ANN) modeling to predict c...
Serotonin is an essential neuromodulator for mental health and animals’ socio-cognitive abilities. However, we previously found that a constitutive depletion of central serotonin did not impair rat cognitive abilities in stand-alone tests. Here...
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder is a chronic condition that occurs following a traumatic experience. Information processing models of PTSD focus on integrating situationally triggered sensory-emotional memories with consciously accessible autobiograph...
The exponential growth in information on the Internet, particularly within social networks, highlights the importance of sentiment and opinion analysis. The intrinsic characteristics of the Spanish language coupled with the short length and lack of c...
The current study aims to investigate how the presence of social norms defines belief formation on future changes in social identity (i.e., diachronic identity), and how those beliefs affect individual decisions under uncertainty. The paper proposes...
