Participants engaged in text-based dialogues about abstract or concrete concepts with virtual agents, after which recognition of names and faces, as well as perceived closeness, was measured. The procedure included a preliminary, context-based validation of linguistic dimensions adapted from Italian into Romanian, given the absence of prior norming studies. Discussions of abstract concepts elicited more uncertainty expressions, questions, turn-taking, general statements, affective content, and overt beliefs, thus offering converging evidence for the adequacy of the translated stimuli and previously reported differences in socio-cognitive engagement. Differential recognition effects facilitated by abstract concept conversations were observed for faces, but not for names. The higher salience of faces could not be ascribed straightforwardly to cognitive load or faster processing, as this interpretation was incompatible with the reaction times observed, which did not differ across conditions in either the encoding or the recognition phase. This, coupled with the absence of corresponding effects for names, which are typically recognized at least as well as faces in matched recognition paradigms, is consistent with a greater involvement of social cognitive processes during abstract concept processing. Overall, the results indicate that abstract concept processing modulates recognition memory for social stimuli. The experimental design is intended to be simple and reproducible, enabling cumulative future research on the relationship between concept types and other cognitive processes.","PeriodicalId":47638,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Processing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148799450","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}

Traditional assessments of social cognition have been criticized for providing limited contextual information, relying on static stimuli, and failing to reflect social cognitive functioning during real-life interactions. This review focuses on advancing virtual reality (VR) methods for assessing social cognition, highlighting their capability to create interactive and realistic social scenarios that enhance ecological validity. A focused narrative review was conducted using predefined eligibility criteria to identify VR-based tools for the assessment of social cognition in adults. Studies were selected based on their use of multidimensional approaches, particularly those assessing theory of mind alongside other social cognitive components and demonstrating potential for clinical application. REALSoCog Task, the VR version of the Norwegian adaptation of the Awareness of Social Inference Test (N-TASIT), and CogMap for Social Cognition (CogMap-SC) are prominent tools that utilize VR to assess various components of social cognition. These VR-based assessments provide a more sensitive and comprehensive approach to measuring social cognition. Although these tools offer significant advantages in assessing social cognitive functioning, it is crucial to acknowledge their limitations, including technological challenges and limitations in the evaluation of their psychometric properties. Overall, this review provides an overview of the potential of virtual reality-based tools in advancing the assessment of social cognition.","PeriodicalId":47638,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Processing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148799522","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}

Based on the screening results of the SPAI, the adapted IAT, and a scale adapted from the DSM-5 IGD symptom criteria, 34 college students were included in the problematic short-video use group and 37 in the control group. Both groups completed the Attention Network Test (ANT), with reaction time and accuracy recorded, and the effects of the alerting, orienting, and executive control networks calculated. Independent-samples t tests and repeated-measures analysis of variance were used to compare group differences. The results showed that the orienting network effect in the problematic short-video use group was significantly lower than that in the control group, whereas no significant differences were found in the alerting network effect or the executive control network effect. Repeated-measures analysis of variance showed a significant main effect of cue condition on reaction time and a significant group × cue condition interaction; the main effect of target condition was significant, but the group × target condition interaction was not significant. Accuracy results showed that the problematic short-video use group had lower overall accuracy than the control group, but the group × cue condition and group × target condition interactions were not significant. College students with problematic short-video use mainly showed a reduced orienting network effect, suggesting that they may have lower efficiency in using spatial cues, shifting attention, and locating targets, rather than a general decline in attention function. This study provides preliminary behavioral evidence for understanding the relationship between problematic short-video use and attention network performance.","PeriodicalId":47638,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Processing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148670883","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}

Early experimental studies revealed varying degrees of this effect in both recall and recognition memory tasks. These findings led to the development of different hypotheses regarding the factors influencing context reinstatement, often linking it to recollection-based memory processes. The main objective of the present review is to examine the methodological factors affecting context reinstatement with a primary focus on-but not limited to- two prevailing hypotheses: the outshining hypothesis and the item-context-ensemble hypothesis. In addition, the review critically considers the extent to which context reinstatement may be associated with recollection- and familiarity-based memory processes and the potential influence of response bias, an issue that has been largely overlooked in previous research. Reinstating the study context at test seems to aid memory in experimental designs where (i) the context was semantically rich, (ii) the stimulus was unfamiliar, (iii) the cue load was low, (iv) interactive encoding between the context and the stimulus was employed, and (v) the retention interval was relatively long. Methodological heterogeneity across studies and the tools used to assess memory accuracy may be key sources of conflicting findings. Building on the limitations of existing research, this review offers recommendations to support more systematic and insightful investigations of context effects on memory.","PeriodicalId":47638,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Processing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148670843","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 findings support the role of working memory (WM) attentional resources, particularly those implicated in the backward span task, in differentiating between skilled and less-skilled reading comprehenders. In addition, a specific contribution of taxonomic and thematic semantic resources emerged. Notably, we observed a correlation between good reading comprehension and stronger taxonomic associations, whereas this relationship was absent in poor comprehenders. Taken together, these findings suggest that specific semantic memory resources contribute to reading comprehension over and above general working memory capacities.","PeriodicalId":47638,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Processing","volume":" ","pages":"629-638"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13424272/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148253916","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}

Results showed that individuals with depressive symptoms exhibited weaker approach motivation toward food and stronger avoidance motivation toward sadness in the inhibition task. Under approach motivation, high-intensity emotion impaired inhibition, while low-intensity emotion facilitated it. Under withdrawal motivation, both high- and low-intensity emotions impaired inhibition. Experiment 2 used emotion induction and a task-switching paradigm to assess the impact on switching function. Results showed that individuals with depressive symptoms displayed more comprehensive motivational deficits in the switching task. Beyond abnormal motivations toward food and sadness, funny scenes failed to induce approach emotions. Approach emotions had no effect on switching function, whereas both high- and low-avoidance emotions hindered it. The findings indicate that individuals with depressive symptoms exhibit emotional motivational deficits.

Participants had 60 s to decide whether to keep the offered amount for personal gain or sacrifice it for the group's benefit, with the reward decreasing by one-fifth every 12 s. In three studies, as the cost of altruism increased from 50 TL to 400 TL, and then to 2000 TL (half of the participants' average monthly income), the proportion of altruists dropped from 40% to 18.5%, and then to 17.5%. The resilience of altruistic sacrifice is explained through a psycho-dynamic model inspired by the observed variation in altruists' hesitations. According to this model, individuals are not simply influenced by the cost of altruism when deciding whether to act altruistically. They first establish a value hierarchy between themselves and others. If they assume that others are more valuable, they may adopt one of two cognitive attitudes: confident altruists make quick decisions based solely on their value assumption. The remaining individuals, however, seek to validate their assumption by comparing the faced cost against a reasonable cost threshold - derived from high (faced cost) and low anchors (the minimum cost triggering a sense of loss) - and hesitate until the gap narrows. We propose that the resilience of sacrifice has three underlying causes: the difficulty of abandoning the value assumption, the difficulty of abandoning the confident attitude, and an upward bias in hesitant altruists' reasonable cost thresholds.","PeriodicalId":47638,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Processing","volume":" ","pages":"841-855"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147976360","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}
