Limits for Binding Visual Information

Description:

Visual processing often requires the coordination of different neurophysiological regions in the visual system to independently represent and then re-integrate the different features of an object to gain an accurate and coherent representation of that object. Yet, under certain circumstances, this process can go awry and result in illusory misbindings,...

Digital Blocks to Robots: Examining the Role of Cognitive Skills and App and Toy Design in Children’s Digital STEM Play Experiences

Description:

Over the past decade the market for children’s digital play activities focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) has grown exponentially. One benefit to the growth in digital STEM play is that it can provide children opportunities to engage the cognitive skills and practices that can be valuable for...

Verb Metaphors as Analogies: Patterns of Meaning Change and the Role of Structure-Mapping in Comprehension

Description:

Metaphor is an important and pervasive phenomenon in language and cognition. The vast majority of psycholinguistic research on metaphor has focused on noun metaphors (e.g., That surgeon is a butcher; That lawyer is a shark), while relatively little has investigated the processing of verb metaphors (e.g., The car limped down...

Role of Prior Knowledge in Adult Learning of Second-Order Phonotactic Generalizations for Speech Production

Description:

Phonotactic patterns are generalizations that govern the order of consonants and vowels, within words and syllables. Certain second-order phonotactic patterns—those that relate multiple sounds within a syllable, such as “if the vowel is [ɪ], then [s] can only appear at the end of the syllable”—require a period of sleep-based consolidation...

Improving Human Memory by Manipulating Consolidation During Sleep

Description:

Research over the past several decades has revealed that memory reactivation in sleep contributes to the formation of long-lasting memories. Among the most recent developments in this field is the widespread use of the technique of targeted memory reactivation (TMR), which allows researchers to induce reactivation of specific memories during...

Evaluative Mindsets and the Influence of False Information

Description:

People are exposed to inaccurate claims and ideas every day, from sources intended to inform, entertain, or do both. A large body of research has demonstrated that exposure to inaccurate statements, even when conveying obviously false ideas, can affect people’s subsequent judgments. Contemporary accounts suggest that these effects may be...

The Role of Empathic Identification in Virtual Musical Agency

Description:

Listeners can experience strong and often positive identification with music. Contemporary research has emphasized the importance of a listener’s own identity, including their sense of self and their desires, when forming such identifications. However, acknowledgments of the listener’s role in the listening experience have failed to productively engage discussions of...

Active Dependency Formation in Agrammatic Aphasia: Online Structural Prediction and Working Memory Processes

Description:

Sentence comprehension requires both syntactic prediction and working memory processes. Evidence suggests that both are impaired in agrammatic aphasia, and can independently contribute to comprehension breakdowns, but the relationship between them, especially during real-time sentence comprehension remains unclear. Two EEG studies investigated on-line processing of sentences with non-local long-distance dependencies...

A Cognitive Framework of Goal-Directed and Stimulus-Driven Auditory-Motor Vocal Control

Description:

Numerous insights into the sensorimotor systems that guide the control of voice have been garnered by observing how the system responds to manipulations of its auditory feedback. However, current approaches may be limited in the exploration of more complex parameters of volitional and adaptive voice control due to their limited...

Identifying neurocognitive endophenotypes in ASD: A multi-method, family study of visual perception and attention

Description:

Background: The way in which one perceives their visual world (i.e., bottom-up visual perception) and what one pays attention to in their surroundings (i.e., top-down attention), are critical to uncovering underlying thoughts and cognitions, and impact how one operates in the social world. Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a...
