We propose here two types of diversity mindsets that reflect distinct individual-difference attributes or personality types specifically linked to bilingualism and its adaptability. We conceptualize diversity as one's past and current \"immersive\" strategies in any society, both as an individual and a member of a collective, with distinct practices, cognitive strategies, language behavior, and even consciousness. The two types are \"broad\" and \"narrow,\" defined by a person's adaptive competence in linguistic, social, cognitive, emotional, and cultural life. In our framework, variables such as language proficiency, educational background, occupational and socioeconomic status, and ethnocultural background interact to modulate diversity mindsets. The framework predicts experimental outcomes in a wide range of tasks for individuals identified as either \"broad\" or \"narrow\" in their diversity mindset type. We draw from evolutionary psychology, cultural neuroscience, current theories of psycholinguistics, and cognitive science to argue that it is not enough to include the non-WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) populations into research designs, but it is critical to study how individuals in different cultures adapt to diversity given their own cognitive, linguistic, and social constraints. Our framework explains how people with these diversity mindsets automatically stratify themselves into distinct groups and engage in distinct cognitive processes that influences bi-multilingualism in any context.","PeriodicalId":47822,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Cognitive Science","volume":" ","pages":"e70059"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148036473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Other populations-such as those in Amazonia-exhibit remarkable diversity. With this in mind, current Chana projects and collaborations encompass research on how Amazonian unique linguistic structures and culturally significant practices shape language processing and acquisition, as well as nonlinguistic cognition; studies on cognition focused on quantification practices in cultures with limited or unconventional numeral systems; and cross-cultural investigations of perception, building on prior research in other regions of the Amazon and the world. Beyond human cognition, the station has also supported experimental research on the relationship between domesticated dogs and their owners. Chana prioritizes inclusive and ethical research that benefits and includes local communities and their perspectives by engaging local and Indigenous researchers, and leading social and educational projects focused on cultural revitalization.

We present perceptual strength ratings for Japanese ideophones, to ask how sensory information is encoded in this word class. While previous studies employ a five- or six-sense model, we expanded the visual and interoceptive domains to incorporate a total of 13 perceptual dimensions. Extra dimensions were drawn from asymmetries in the cross-linguistic attestation of ideophones, to explore whether these reflect underlying structural differences in the encoding of these perceptual domains. We replicate previous findings regarding visual dominance, but show that this is primarily driven by the dimension movement, with other visual dimensions receiving comparatively lower ratings. As to relations between the senses, we find that these can differ even within a single modality. For example, within vision, movement was most connected to sound and interoception; shape to texture; and color to taste and smell. The results speak to the value of an expanded model of the senses for perceptual norming studies, with an expanded set of linguistic signs as its object.","PeriodicalId":47822,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Cognitive Science","volume":" ","pages":"e70064"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148036396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, neurodiverse individuals, especially those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), perceive and interpret sensory information differently from their neurotypical peers. Their sensory perceptual experiences can involve hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity, as well as deficits in multisensory integration, especially among younger individuals. In this study, we evaluated olfactory-visual associations among verbal individuals with ASD, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and a comparison group of children without neurodevelopmental disorders by means of an odor-color association task. We found that youth with ASD, ADHD, and without neurodevelopmental disorders experience olfactory perception in a similar manner, showing similar inconsistencies in terms of (verbal) odor identification and odor-color associations, while rating odors similarly in terms of (un)pleasantness, specifically for sour, salty, and spicy odors and sweet and fruity odors. This supports the notion that neurodivergent youth present individual variation in olfaction, but less so in perceived odor pleasantness, results that promote further exploration of odor-color associations within and across diverse populations.","PeriodicalId":47822,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Cognitive Science","volume":" ","pages":"e70062"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148036454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such frameworks, therefore, struggle to explain how coordinated behavior emerges in collective contexts involving multiple agents with potentially shared goals. To address this gap, we draw on a recently proposed computational framework of preference-based representations in cognitive agents. We extend this framework from a single- to a multiagent setting to explain how coordinated behavior can emerge from agents' subjective preferences over self- or other-oriented simulated experiences. We argue that such experience simulation mechanisms offer a cognitively plausible account for describing the acquisition, refinement, and sharing of goal-directed representations in cognitively bounded agents. We situate our proposed framework within current debates in artificial intelligence and cognitive science concerning notions of individual and collective agency.","PeriodicalId":47822,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Cognitive Science","volume":" ","pages":"e70055"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148036407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Language appears to support the formation of odor categories, yet it can also hinder odor recognition through verbal interference, highlighting that different olfactory processes get affected in distinct ways. The question, then, is not about whether language and odor processing in humans are inevitably linked, but about understanding the circumstances under which language either promotes or hinders olfactory processing, particularly in the domains of odor categorization and memory. To unmask the nature of this delicate balance, this article reviews empirical studies that point to a verbal enhancement of forming new odor categories and contextualizes it alongside experimental outcomes showing how odor memories can get verbally skewed. Findings from both angles are nested within prominent theories, including attribute differentiation, dual coding, ad hoc cognition and attentional tuning. The research reviewed here sits at the crossroads of language and olfaction. It offers fresh insights into how language scaffolds the organization of the mind, and it also outlines promising directions for future research. The main aim is to bring together two contrasting strands of research to investigate how language both facilitates and disrupts olfactory processing. The designs of studies in this article were inspired by Asifa Majid's outstanding contributions to cognitive science and honor her dedication to community building, particularly in exploring how diverse linguistic and cultural contexts affect olfactory cognition.","PeriodicalId":47822,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Cognitive Science","volume":" ","pages":"e70065"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148036413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
