Prior work has predominantly focused on improved learning in terms of accuracy and efficiency when interacting with another human compared to learning alone, while the potential benefits of a human learning with a computer are understudied. It has been reported that older adults learn more efficiently and accurately when they believe they are interacting with a human compared to a computer to perform the Barrier Task. In the current study, we examined the effect of agency on performance on the Map Task, a test that measures spatial cognition, where participants must orally collaborate to reproduce a route printed on one participant's map onto another's, and which is considered a more ecologically valid measure of real-life communication compared to other materials used to study collaborative learning. We used a Wizard-of-Oz paradigm, in which participants interacted with a computer system, but were told that they were interacting with either a human assistant or computer. Twenty-four older adult participants (aged 66-79 years) completed an adapted version of the Map Task with a (perceived) human partner or computer to plan and execute a route, doing so through conversation. Overall, participants engaged similarly with their human and computer partner, but recall was more accurate when the information had been provided by the human, compared to the computer. Participants' negative perceptions about the computer-provided information may have driven this effect. These findings may influence how voice-based learning systems are introduced to older end-users, and strategies for negotiating agency between the human user and the voice-based system, to influence collaborative learning in older age. Future work should attempt to replicate these findings in a larger sample.</p>","PeriodicalId":47638,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Processing","volume":" ","pages":"703-718"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13423963/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148035857","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}

However, evidence is scarce regarding possible changes in such processes throughout adulthood. The present study aims to investigate whether and to what extent the effect of NoF in visual word recognition changes with age. In total, 54 young adults (M = 21.4 years) and 52 older adults (M = 69.7 years) performed a go/no-go lexical decision task in which half of the words were associated with a high NoF and the other half with a low NoF. The main finding was that the NoF effect on lexical decision latencies modulated according to age. While both young and older adults exhibited a reliable benefit from high NoF words compared to low NoF words, this effect was smaller in older adults. This reduced facilitatory effect of NoF in older adults could not be attributed to differences in vocabulary or reading habits nor does it reflect age-related slowing, as the interaction between NoF and age groups remained after controlling for these individual differences. These findings suggest an age-related change in feedback activation from semantics to orthography in visual word recognition.</p>","PeriodicalId":47638,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Processing","volume":" ","pages":"591-600"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148253850","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}

Participants completed a series of two-digit addition computational estimation tasks, in which they were required to use either the rounding-down (RD) strategy (e.g., calculating 50 + 80=130 for the problem 54 + 89) or the rounding-up (RU) strategy (e.g., calculating 60 + 90=150 for 54 + 89). These tasks were administered across both single- and dual-task conditions, with operands presented in either a continuous or discontinuous sequence. A critical dissociation emerged between neural and behavioral outcomes: significant interaction effects among presentation sequence, task condition, and strategy type were detected at the neural level, whereas no such interactions were observed in behavioral metrics. Behaviorally, relative to the single-task condition, RD strategy, and continuous presentation sequence (MMC first), the dual-task condition, RU strategy, and discontinuous presentation sequence (CE first) were associated with significantly lower accuracy (ACC), longer reaction times (RTs), and higher Inverse Efficiency Scores (IES). At the neural level, discontinuous operand presentation in the dual-task condition elicited significantly larger N1 and P2 amplitudes over the parietal lobe, reflecting heightened attentional engagement compared to continuous presentation. A striking cross-condition reversal was observed for N2 and P3 amplitudes: in the single-task condition, N2 and P3 amplitudes under the RD strategy were significantly smaller (more negative) than those under the RU strategy; conversely, in the dual-task condition, RD strategy-related N2 and P3 amplitudes were significantly larger (more positive) than those linked to the RU strategy. These findings align closely with the Time-Based Resource-Sharing (TBRS) model and dynamic processing frameworks. Collectively, the results indicate that sequence preparation, dual-task coordination, and strategy execution depend on attention-dependent temporal allocation of limited cognitive resources at central processing bottlenecks, which enables flexible, optimal, and dynamic resource management to support both online task processing and cognitive maintenance. Future investigations into the neural mechanisms of dual-task processing should employ larger sample sizes and multimodal research approaches to further elucidate these resource allocation dynamics.</p>","PeriodicalId":47638,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Processing","volume":" ","pages":"781-797"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146158763","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}

We find that both the truthfulness of news content and the reliability of news sources independently influence participants' credibility judgments. We also proved participants' self-reported reliance on the source and content of the news to make their assessment. Participants demonstrated the highest accuracy when using content alone, followed by both cues, and then source alone. This was qualified by a significant three-way interaction, indicating that the advantages of each strategy varied depending on the convergence between content and source. When content and source were congruent, participants achieved the greatest accuracy by relying on both cues and reported doing so more frequently. Conversely, when content and source diverged, participants were most accurate when relying exclusively on the source. Despite this, they reported relying equally on source, content, or both, except in the case of fake news, where there was a slight preference for relying on the source over content alone.
