Although these experiences clearly depend on the observer and context, they are partly explained by the visual features of the input. Here, we investigated how well a combination of visual features predicts dynamic aesthetic experiences during naturalistic and artistic movie watching. In two experiments, participants continuously rated the aesthetic appeal of either the nature documentary Home (N = 37) or the animated art-style movie Loving Vincent (N = 30). We modeled moment-to-moment ratings using image-computable visual features extracted from each movie frame, including visual fluency, color and motion statistics, and symmetry. Linear models trained on these features reliably predicted aesthetic ratings for new movie parts, both within and across observers, pointing to shared perceptual influences on aesthetic experiences. Model comparisons showed that visual fluency and color-related features were most informative for predicting aesthetic experience in both movies. Critically, models trained on one movie could reliably predict aesthetic appeal ratings in the other movie, despite the movies' remarkably different content and styles. Color features were most informative for cross-movie prediction. We conclude that visual features provide a robust basis for explaining dynamic aesthetic experiences across observers and different movie content.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13569840/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148946404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although coordination is thought to depend on anticipating future events, including the actions of others, the precise contribution of such predictive processing remains unclear, since most existing evidence comes from simplified laboratory tasks that infer anticipation indirectly from reaction times. To address this gap, we studied 70 participants (forming 64 pairs) during solo and joint sessions of a turn-taking ball-hitting task while recording multimodal behavioral, physiological, demographic, and social measures. We found that successful coordination was most strongly associated with anticipation of one's own action outcomes, outperforming physiological synchrony, motor behavior, demographic characteristics, and social closeness. Partners whose predictions of their own action outcomes were more closely aligned coordinated better, likely because each behaved in ways the other implicitly expected. A Bayesian generative model further showed that well-coordinated pairs relied more heavily on prior expectations than on incoming sensory evidence when generating predictions during joint action. These results suggest that efficient coordination in dynamic real-world tasks emerges primarily when individuals' internal models for predicting their own actions are well aligned across partners. Our quantitative multimodal approach provides a framework for disentangling the contributions of predictive, physiological, motor, and social factors to coordination in naturalistic interactions.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13493972/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148804288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, item heterogeneity plays a critical role, as within-person processes may vary across items within a scale. A common example is the assessment of momentary affect using adjective lists (e.g., sad, angry, anxious, stressed), where each item captures different facets of positive or negative affect, providing unique and non-interchangeable information. However, standard practices often overlook item heterogeneity by aggregating item scores or assuming a single within-person factor in dynamic structural equation models. This simplification does not permit a fine-grained analysis of within-person dynamics and compromises cross-study comparability when item pools differ across studies. In this article, we reanalyze five large-scale intensive longitudinal datasets assessing momentary affect to illustrate how item heterogeneity can be explicitly modeled. We introduce a flexible modeling approach that accommodates item-specific and person-specific dynamics while improving psychometric comparability across studies, based on residual dynamic structural equation modeling with reference items. We compare this method to conventional modeling strategies and provide practical guidance for addressing item heterogeneity in the analysis of intensive longitudinal data.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13498562/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148804271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individual biases in how we learn to assign value to cues and actions, through Pavlovian conditioning (sign-tracking and goal-tracking) and reinforcement learning (model-free and model-based), provide a framework for exploring these behaviours. Cravings, emerging from associations between environmental cues and physiological responses, may be amplified by learning biases enhancing the cues' salience (i.e., sign-tracking bias) and habitual behaviour (i.e., model-free). Learning biases may also moderate the relationship between cravings and consumption by intensifying automatic and habitual processes. Lastly, approach bias, which measures automatic processes involved in craving formation, may be associated with learning biases. To test these hypotheses, we conducted a two-week longitudinal study in 81 participants (minimum post-exclusion sample of 65) using ecological momentary assessments via a smartphone-based app to measure high-caloric food cravings, food intake, and approach-avoidance tendencies in daily life. Learning biases were assessed using Pavlovian conditioning and sequential learning tasks. Results indicate that sign-tracking bias was not related to craving intensity or variability, whereas model-free bias was associated with higher mean cravings but not lower day-to-day craving variability. The hypothesis linking cravings to consumption was not tested due to a consumption floor effect, and neither learning bias was associated with approach bias. The healthy-weight sample may explain our null findings, as they may show limited expression of high-caloric food cravings and consumption. Overall, these findings suggest that reinforcement learning tendencies may contribute to everyday craving dynamics.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13652808/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149149447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding associations between early experiences and variation in the typical developmental trajectory of reward responsiveness is essential to identifying potential pathways to health. We examined developmental trajectories of the reward positivity, a neurophysiological indicator of reward responsiveness, across 4 assessments in late childhood through late adolescence in 465 youth. We estimated growth curves and assessed parenting, observed via parent-child interactions, and stress exposure at age 3, as early environmental predictors of reward positivity trajectories. The reward positivity to win and loss feedback showed a quadratic trajectory of change across childhood and adolescence. Lower positive parenting and higher negative parenting predicted a reduced increase in the reward positivity to win feedback over time; stress exposure associations were smaller and statistically non-significant. Together, results suggest a link between early parenting and reward development across childhood through adolescence.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13597305/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148551054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Well-controlled experimental designs aimed at isolating and systematically manipulating attentional orienting in long-term memory would greatly advance this cause. The current study addresses this gap. Building on the precue and retrocue designs from working-memory research, we introduce an experimental framework to investigate how selective attention operates within contextual long-term memory. Across three pre-registered experiments (n = 235), participants learned associations between scenes and the identities and locations of two objects. In a subsequent Selective Retrieval task, participants viewed the studied scenes and later identified scene-associated objects from an array. Spatial cues directed internal attention to the location of the object to be probed, or neutral cues offered no spatial information. Informative cues yielded significant retrieval benefits and costs relative to neutral cues. Benefits emerged regardless of whether cues appeared before or after scene presentation and were fully expressed even with very short retrieval intervals. The approach offers a flexible method for isolating and manipulating attention functions in long-term memory, enabling future investigation of the psychological and neural mechanisms governing selective memory access.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148475076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
