This study investigated the connection between decision-making and activity of the startle reflex, a defense reflex that is sensitive to emotional states. Decision-making was assessed using the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT), which simulates real-life decision-making with respect to complexity and uncertainty. The startle reflex was quantified, via electromyography, as the eyeblink following intense noise stimulation during the viewing of pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant emotional pictures. Forty-two healthy participants were classified according to their performance on the IGT using the median-split method. Overall, the startle amplitude was lower during pleasant and higher during unpleasant pictures than during neutral pictures. Participants with high IGT performance exhibited smaller response amplitudes than those with low IGT performance, independent of picture valence. Furthermore, inverse linear associations were seen between IGT performance and response amplitudes. The association between decision-making and startle reflex activity may be mediated by individual differences in emotional state. According to previous studies, a positive emotional state, as opposed to a negative emotional state, relates to smaller startle amplitudes and a preference for decision-making strategies based on intuition and body-related information (i.e., somatic markers), which are beneficial in situations involving complex and uncertain decisions. Moreover, an impact of individual differences in prefrontal cortex function on decision-making and startle reflex activity is feasible. The startle paradigm may be a useful tool to investigate interactions between bodily states and higher-order cognitive processing in future research.","PeriodicalId":48184,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Research-Psychologische Forschung","volume":"89 2","pages":"82"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11972200/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143789072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it remains unclear whether object-based attention emerged and how task-irrelevant reward guide object-based attention in conflict contexts. Therefore, the present study adopted a variant of two-rectangle paradigm to investigate the impact of task-irrelevant reward on object-based attention in conflict contexts across three experiments. Experiment 1 observed object-based effects when combing the two-rectangle paradigm with the Stroop task. Experiment 2 used color character as target and found object-based effects in the incongruent-unrewarded condition, not in the incongruent-rewarded condition. The difference can be due to faster response in the incongruent-unrewarded condition for invalid same-object trials. Experiment 3 adopted monetary objects as target and observed reversed object-based effects in the incongruent-high-rewarded condition, not in the incongruent-low-rewarded condition. This was due to faster response in the incongruent-low-rewarded condition than in the incongruent-high-rewarded condition for invalid same-object trials. These findings demonstrated that task-irrelevant reward can affect the object-based attention in conflict contexts, and different types of rewards may share a common mechanism in their impact on object-based attention. Ultimately, this study provided further support for the attentional spreading theory.","PeriodicalId":48184,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Research-Psychologische Forschung","volume":"89 2","pages":"80"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143765447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective was to explore the impact of sentence context on onomatopoeia processing among hearing-reduced (HR) students. The results showed that the accuracy of HR students was significantly lower than typical-hearing (TH) students. With sentence context, the P200 response to phonological similarity was significantly larger than the response to orthographic similarity in HR students, and the P200 response to orthographic similarity under sentence context conditions was smaller in HR students than in TH students. Compared to TH students, graphical similarity evoked a higher P200 in HR students. Moreover, the N400 in the contextless condition was lower than in the contextual condition in TH students. The findings revealed that sentence context can have an impact on the acquisition of meaning for onomatopoeic words, as well as the processing of their phonology and orthography, but the effect on HR students and TH students was different.","PeriodicalId":48184,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Research-Psychologische Forschung","volume":"89 2","pages":"79"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143765446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has mainly been studied using the central frequencies of the musical spectrum (e.g., 400-800 Hz). However, in a previous study, we measured a shift in the distribution of percepts reported by non-musicians at the upper and lower boundaries of the musical spectrum, suggesting a reduced pitch perception accuracy. This study now aims to determine if musical training, which is known to improve pitch perception, affects the relative distribution of percepts across frequencies. 24 non-musicians and 19 professional musicians listened to the illusion evoked by pairs of frequencies ranging from 40 to 80 Hz to 2000-4000 Hz, and selected which percept they heard (octave, simple, complex). In non-musicians, the results replicate the previously reported shift in the distribution of percepts at higher and lower frequencies, but no such perceptual shift was measured in musicians. At lower frequencies, musicians were more likely than non-musicians to report the octave percept and less likely to report simple percepts. For the classic paradigm frequencies (400-800 Hz), musicians were more likely to report a complex percept that more closely matched the true pattern of stimulation used to elicit the illusion. In conclusion, musical training seems to preserve pitch representation at the lower boundaries of the musical spectrum, and musicians seem to have a more consistent distribution of percept elicited by the illusion across different frequencies.","PeriodicalId":48184,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Research-Psychologische Forschung","volume":"89 2","pages":"78"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143742585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study examined whether this pretesting effect requires attentional resources during the initial pretest stage and the subsequent feedback stage. Two experiments were conducted in which participants studied word pairs which were either presented in full for 12 s and thus could be studied immediately (study-only trials) or were first only presented with the cue word of a pair and asked to guess the target word for 6 s before the complete pair was shown for another 6 s (pretest trials). Critically, learning occurred either under full attention or under distraction by a secondary task, with the distraction occurring either during the first 6 s or the last 6 s of a trial. While results showed the typical pretesting effect in the absence of any distraction, the effect remained intact when distraction occurred during the first 6 s of a pretest trial, but was eliminated when distraction occurred during the last 6 s. This pattern of results arose when distraction induced material-general (Experiment 1) and when it induced material-specific (Experiment 2) interference. Consistently, additional analyses showed greater recall impairments for pretested pairs when distraction occurred during Stage 2 than during Stage 1, although such impairment was present in both situations. The findings align with theoretical accounts suggesting critical roles of attentional processes for the pretesting effect.","PeriodicalId":48184,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Research-Psychologische Forschung","volume":"89 2","pages":"77"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11950122/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143721969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This bias has been associated with a spatial preference known as \"pseudoneglect,\" where attention is biased towards the left side of the mental number line during numerical processing (Loetscher & Brugger, 2009). Another potential explanation for SNB is the higher frequency of use of small compared to large numbers in daily life (Dehaene & Mehler, 1992). This study aims to determine which of these two explanations better accounts for SNB. Participants were asked to generate random numbers from 1 to 12 while viewing either a regular or an inverted clockface. On a regular clockface smaller numbers are on the right, whereas on an inverted clockface they are on the left. Both theories predict SNB for the inverted clockface. However, for the regular clockface, frequency of use would predict SNB, while pseudoneglect would predict a bias towards larger numbers. Results showed SNB in the inverted clockface condition, but no bias in the regular clockface condition. These findings suggest that SNB arises when pseudoneglect and frequency of use align but is absent when they conflict. Overall, the results indicate that both pseudoneglect and frequency of use contribute to SNB in some degrees.","PeriodicalId":48184,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Research-Psychologische Forschung","volume":"89 2","pages":"76"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11937118/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143711635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants viewed negative, positive, and neutral stimuli in two motion conditions, dynamic and static, and then had to recall or recognize them.

This study investigated how social signals evoked by facial expressions are perceived, focusing on their automatic triggering and relationship to the representations of the expressions by using adaptation aftereffect paradigm. Participants evaluated their perceived need for help and their motivation to provide help in response to sad and fearful expressions, both of which convey help signals, before and after adaptation. Accordingly, the ratings for perceived need for help for both sad and fearful expressions decreased following adaptation to sad expressions, indicating that perceived need for help was represented independently from the perception of test expressions. Additionally, this result also indicates that the need for help is automatically triggered during viewing sad facial expressions. However, the ratings for perceived need for help for fearful expressions alone decreased after adaptation to fearful expressions. The motivation to help remained unaffected by adaptation to sad or fearful expressions. Additional experiments demonstrated that impairment of perceived need for help occurs independently of the perceived intensity of the expressions and participants' moods. This study suggests that social signals can be represented independently from facial expressions, and facial expression adaptation paradigms can examine this possibility.","PeriodicalId":48184,"journal":{"name":"Psychological Research-Psychologische Forschung","volume":"89 2","pages":"73"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11933154/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143701781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
