Our results show that changes in cognitive processes can be understood as a rational attempt to optimize task performance and that distinct metacognitive experiences are related to different aspects of this rational endeavor.

Leveraging a unique longitudinal dataset, we explore predictability of educational attainment, cognitive abilities, and non-cognitive traits. Integrating various measures of computational linguistics and large language model-based embeddings within a SuperLearner framework trained on short aspirational essays written at age 11, we accurately predict cognition and non-cognitive traits at the same and later age to a similar degree as teacher assessments, and better than genomic data. The same is true for predicting final educational attainment. Combining text, genetic markers, and teacher assessments into an ensemble model, we can predict cognitive ability at close to test-retest reliability of gold-standard tests ( <math> <msubsup><mrow><mi>R</mi></mrow> <mrow><mi>H</mi> <mi>o</mi> <mi>l</mi> <mi>d</mi> <mi>o</mi> <mi>u</mi> <mi>t</mi></mrow> <mrow><mn>2</mn></mrow> </msubsup> <mo>=</mo> <mn>0.7</mn></math> ) and explain 38% of individual differences in attainment.

However, this temporal sequence has not yet been properly tested, given the lack of methods allowing to manipulate or interfere with facial muscle activity at specific time points. The current study (N = 52, 28 women) investigated this key question using EEG and facial neuromuscular electrical stimulation (fNMES)-a technique offering superior control over which facial muscles are activated and when. Participants categorised neutral, happy and sad avatar faces as either happy or sad and received fNMES (except in the control condition) to bilateral zygomaticus major muscles during early visual processing (-250 to +250 ms of face onset), or later visual processing, when mimicry typically arises (500-1000 ms after face onset). Both early and late fNMES resulted in a happiness bias specific to neutral faces, which was mediated by a reduced N170 in the early window. In contrast, a modulation of the beta-band (13-22 Hz) coherence between somatomotor and occipital cortices was found in the late fNMES, although this did not predict categorisation choice. We propose that facial feedback biases emotion recognition at different visual processing stages by reducing visual processing load.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"3 1","pages":"94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12222020/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144556377","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}

The explicit bias was introduced by informing participants about stimulus probability on a single-trial level (volatile context) or block-wise (stable context). Behavioural analysis confirmed adjustments in the decision criterion and confidence ratings according to the cued probabilities and previous choice-induced biases. Pre-stimulus beta power with distinct sources in sensory and higher-order cortical areas predicted explicit and implicit biases, respectively, on a single subject level and partially mediated the impact of previous choice and stimulus probability on the detection response.

Recent computational models, based on a long-standing psychological theory, suggest that action selection can also be biased by how often an action or sequence of actions was repeated before, independent of rewards. However, empirical support for such a repetition bias effect in value-based decision-making remains limited. In this study, we provide evidence of a repetition bias for action sequences using a sequential decision-making task (N = 70). Through computational modeling of choices, we demonstrate both the learning and influence of a repetition bias on human value-based decisions. Using model comparison, we find that decisions are best explained by the combined influence of goal-directed reward seeking and a tendency to repeat action sequences. Additionally, we observe significant individual differences in the strength of this repetition bias. These findings lay the groundwork for further research on the interaction between goal-directed reward seeking and the repetition of action sequences in human decision making.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"3 1","pages":"92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12166051/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144295600","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}

Yet, decisions to use persist, due in part to avoidance of anticipated withdrawal states. However, the specific cognitive mechanisms underlying this decision process, and possible modulatory effects of aversive states, remain unclear. Here, 56 individuals with MUD and 58 healthy comparisons (HCs) performed a decision task, both with and without an aversive interoceptive state induction. Computational modeling measured the tendency to test beliefs about uncertain outcomes (directed exploration) and the ability to update beliefs in response to outcomes (learning rates). Compared to HCs, the MUD group exhibited less directed exploration and slower learning rates, but these differences were not affected by the aversive state induction. Follow-up analyses further suggested that reduced exploration in those with MUD was best explained by greater avoidance of uncertainty on the task, and that trait differences in cognitive reflectiveness might account for these differences in task behavior. These results suggest state-independent computational mechanisms whereby individuals with MUD may have difficulties in testing beliefs about the tolerability of abstinence and in adjusting behavior in response to consequences of continued use.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"3 1","pages":"90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12145274/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144251736","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}

Extending the previous literature on (non-intergenerational) intergroup cooperation, we tested whether group membership of the future generations influenced sustainable decision-making. In two preregistered studies using the intergenerational sustainability dilemma game, we found that individuals were more likely to make a sustainable (vs. selfish) decision when they believed that their current behavior would benefit future ingroup members, whereas more selfish decisions were made when benefits would accrue to outgroup members. These findings held in both the minimal group (Study 1: N = 1393) and national group (Study 2: Japan vs. China, N = 1781) contexts. The effect of ingroup intergenerational membership on cooperation was mediated by higher felt responsibility for future generations in both minimal and national group contexts. The effect of outgroup membership on intergenerational cooperation was mediated by a reduced sense of reputational concern in the minimal group context and by reduced affinity, legacy motivation, and responsibility for future generations in the nationality context.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"3 1","pages":"89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12144128/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144251737","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}

We focused on: (1) how trust in others and fairness preferences during economic games are associated with self-reported financial exploitation; and (2) how sociodemographic and health-related factors interact with psychosocial factors to confer risk for financial exploitation. We found participants with lower socioeconomic status and poor emotion regulation skills were at the greatest risk for financial exploitation. We also found associations between greater risk for financial exploitation and poorer physical health, more severe cognitive decline, increased persuadability, and increased insensitivity to trustworthiness cues.

Despite the importance of this process, language production research has primarily focused on single words. It remains a largely untested assumption that the principles of word production generalize to more naturalistic utterances like sentences. Here, we investigate this using high-resolution neurosurgical recordings (ECoG) and an overt production experiment where ten patients produced six words in isolation (picture naming) and in sentences (scene description). We trained machine learning classifiers to identify the unique brain activity patterns for each word during picture naming, and used these patterns to decode which words patients were processing while they produced sentences. Our findings confirm that words share cortical representations across tasks, but reveal a division of labor within the language network. In sensorimotor cortex, words were consistently activated in the order in which they were said in the sentence. However, in prefrontal cortex, the order in which words were processed depended on the syntactic structure of the sentence. In non-canonical sentences (passives), we further observed a spatial code for syntactic roles, with subjects selectively encoded in inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and objects selectively encoded in middle frontal gyrus (MFG). We suggest that these complex dynamics of prefrontal cortex may impose a subtle pressure on language evolution, potentially explaining why nearly all the world's languages position subjects before objects.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"3 1","pages":"87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12133590/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144218042","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}
