Moreover, even though Autism Spectrum Disorder has sex differences in prevalence and symptoms, a limited number of studies consider sex differences in face recognition. The present study examined the relationship between face-change discrimination sensitivity and autistic traits considering sex differences. The participants included 82 females and 88 males in the general population. Face change blindness task using psychophysical method was used to evaluate the degree of sensitivity to faces in each participant. A psychometric function computed the Point of Subjective Equality (PSE) as the morphing level required to discriminate between faces. The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) was also administered to participants. The results revealed a negative relationship between the total score of the AQ and the PSE in females but not males. This study suggests that sex differences should be considered when examining the relationship between autistic traits and other-face perception.","PeriodicalId":47638,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Processing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144081269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the analysis of innovative movements, issues have been highlighted that have not been addressed by the rational and logical attitude of the technological approach, and in some cases, these issues are in direct opposition to the resulting rationalism from this attitude. To decipher these propositions, it is necessary to investigate the effects of cognitive components on innovative processes and then analyze the scope of these effects. The influence of creativity on innovative factors has been mentioned among the cognitive components, but the role of components such as perception, emotion, and meaning, which are introduced as stimuli for the initiation of an innovative movement, has been discussed less. Most products have an acceptable level of technology in their function, but they have deficiencies in the cognitive dimension.

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) offers a non-invasive, portable method for studying brain activity and connectivity, providing valuable insights into the brain's network dynamics. In this study, we used fNIRS to examine the functional connectivity of the human brain during the Dual n-back task, a cognitive challenge that varies in memory load (0-back, 1-back, and 2-back). Data were collected from 24 channels in the frontal cortex and pre-processed with discrete wavelet transform. Functional connectivity matrices for each task level were calculated using correlation analysis, and graph theory metrics such as clustering coefficient and local and global efficiency were assessed. Statistical comparisons (t-tests and ANOVA) revealed significant differences in these metrics across memory load levels, with higher memory loads leading to altered brain connectivity patterns (p < 0.05 for clustering coefficient and local efficiency, p < 0.04 for global efficiency). These findings suggest that as cognitive demand increases, the functional connectivity of the brain's frontal network changes, reflecting the dynamic nature of brain activity during complex tasks. This research highlights the potential of fNIRS for exploring brain network functions and has broader implications for understanding cognitive processes and developing neurocognitive diagnostics and interventions.","PeriodicalId":47638,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Processing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144001062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of methodologies, case studies, and new technologies have advanced our understanding of students' complex thinking. Despite these advancements, long-term analysis at the convergence of neurosciences, education, and complex thinking remains limited. To address this gap, we conducted a bibliometric review using the prism method, spanning from 1960 to 2023 to map research trends, thematic evolutions, and future challenges. Our analysis of 3792 Scopus-indexed studies using advanced data visualization techniques yielded the following findings: (1) a predominant focus on critical thinking, with creativity driving innovative approaches that enhance problem-solving; (2) growing integration of neurotechnologies-such as EEG and neuroimaging-to assess and optimize cognitive engagement in educational settings; (3) an increasing emphasis on metacognition, highlighting its role as a reflective thinking strategy that fosters cogntive control and higher-order thinking; and (4) emerging research on executive functions, particularly their role in fostering decision-making and cognitive flexibility in learning environments. These findings contribute to the understanding of cognitive processes and inform practical applications in education, including the design of personalized learning strategies, real-time cognitive assessment tools, and neurotechnology-supported pedagogical models. The study advocates an interdisciplinary approach, integrating neuroscientific insights into complex thinking to enhance cognitive processing within STEAM education.","PeriodicalId":47638,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Processing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144001061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is therefore important to understand what cognitive processes may promote forgiveness to achieve optimal outcomes for individuals. There is some evidence to suggest that core self-evaluation (CSE) is related to how forgiving an individual may be. However, these studies have shown that this influence may be mediated by other cognitive processes. To date, the combined role of anger rumination and mindfulness as potential mediators has not been considered. This is despite recognized associations with constructs that underly CSE. To address this gap in knowledge, this study aimed to explore the relationship between CSE and forgiveness; considering whether this relationship is mediated by mindfulness and anger rumination. A further contribution to knowledge was that these relationships were considered across the three subtypes of forgiveness: self, others, and situation. A total of 490 participants (54% men; 45% women; 1% non-binary; average age = 43.7 years; SD = 17.7) provided complete responses to an online questionnaire measuring CSE, forgiveness, mindfulness, and anger rumination. The results demonstrated that CSE was positively related to forgiveness and mindfulness and negatively related to anger rumination. Mediation analysis demonstrated that some of the influence of CSE on forgiveness was through mindfulness and anger rumination. These results indicate that people with higher levels of CSE tend to have a greater degree of mindfulness, are less likely to engage in anger rumination, and are subsequently more likely to be forgiving. These findings provide further insight into the beliefs and processes that contribute to an individual's willingness to forgive. It also suggests that interventions targeting CSE, mindfulness, and anger rumination can help with the promotion of forgiveness.","PeriodicalId":47638,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Processing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144024633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence shows that this not only involves representing the mere discrepancy between perspectives, but the content of such perspectives as well (level-2 perspective taking/L2PT). However, this evidence comes from studies using culturally grounded symbols which leaves open the possibility that having extensive, easily accessible background knowledge about an object is necessary for the L2PT effect. Experiment 1 tested this by comparing L2PT across two groups: one performing a verification task on Arabic numbers, and one on newly learnt symbol-label pairs. In both groups, half of the visual stimuli was symmetrical, while half was asymmetrical. In both cases, there was a joint condition: participants performed the task in parallel with a partner, observing stimuli from opposite angles, thus having conflicting interpretations for asymmetric characters. Furthermore, they also performed the verification task individually, while their partner had no visual access to the stimuli. We found an interference effect in both groups. However, while the effect was stable in the number group, it diminished over time in the symbol group. Experiments 2a and 2b demonstrated that the complexity of the recently learnt symbols has an influence on spontaneous L2PT: the same procedure with more complex symbols did not elicit any interference effect. Our results show that online L2PT is not limited to objects that participants have proficiency in identifying. Nevertheless, the L2PT effect seems to diminish when participants have to process increasingly complex novel symbols.","PeriodicalId":47638,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Processing","volume":" ","pages":"331-343"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12055949/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142683161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research shows body image threats can predict poor health behaviors, but approaching those difficult moments with self-compassion-being kind, forgiving, and nonjudgmental-may reduce the impact of that threat and promote engagement in positive health behaviors. However, trait rumination, or tending to perseverate on negative events, may both dampen the benefits of a self-compassionate state and predict poor health behaviors. The present study examined whether a brief self-compassion writing exercise, after recalling a negative body-related event, predicted intent to perform health-promoting behaviors, and whether trait rumination attenuated this relationship. Participants (N = 217) completed a measure of trait rumination, underwent a body image threat, and were randomly assigned to cope with self-compassion or a distraction. Subsequently, participants completed a measure of health behavioral intentions. Analyses revealed participants in the self-compassion condition reported greater health-promoting behavioral intentions compared to control, with no significant main effect of trait rumination. However, a condition-by-rumination interaction emerged, suggesting the self-compassion condition was associated with higher health behavioral intentions, but only for participants with low trait rumination levels. These effects washed out when controlling for participants' self-rated health. The findings suggest that a self-compassion practice can help mitigate the adverse effects of a body image threat and facilitate health-promoting behavioral intentions, although its efficacy may depend on individual levels of trait rumination and perceived health.","PeriodicalId":47638,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Processing","volume":" ","pages":"345-357"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142638895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fine movement experts excelled in small-scale spatial tasks compared to non-movement experts. Gross movement experts demonstrated superior large-scale spatial abilities, evidenced by lower errors in TCT and higher navigation scores, distinguishing their performance in spatial navigation and orientation from both fine movement experts and non-movement experts. The study highlights the distinct impacts of fine and gross motor expertise on spatial abilities, with gross motor skills particularly benefiting large-scale spatial navigation.

Previous studies have shown that children with ADHD have impaired processing of emotional stimuli, but it is unclear whether their ability to integrate multimodal emotional stimuli is impaired and at which processing pathway this impairment exists. The present study investigated the ability of children with ADHD to integrate emotional audiovisual stimuli under different emotional conditions, and the effect of audiovisual integration on IOR to reveal the impaired processing pathway of their emotional audiovisual integration. Fifty-eight school-age children (29 with ADHD and 29 matched typically developing (TD) children) performed an emotional valence discrimination task with a cue-target paradigm. The results showed that children with ADHD did not exhibit audiovisual integration of emotional stimuli in all experimental conditions. In addition, the IOR effect was significantly smaller for audiovisual targets than for visual targets under the negative but not the neutral emotion condition in children with ADHD, whereas this effect was present in all emotion conditions in TD children. These results indicate that the ability to integrate emotional audiovisual information is impaired in children with ADHD and this impairment exists in both bottom-up and top-down pathways. Additionally, although presenting emotional auditory stimuli at the same time as emotional faces reduced IOR both in children with ADHD and TD, the manner of reduction differed. These findings provide new evidence of emotional processing deficits and multimodal integration deficits in children with ADHD, and help provide support for children in educational settings.","PeriodicalId":47638,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Processing","volume":" ","pages":"389-399"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142584675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
