Yet, knowledge about the factors influencing data loss is limited. Here, we assessed the contribution of genes and environments to data missingness across three experiments of infant brain and behavioural development. The sample consisted of 594 infant twins (330 monozygotic, 152 female, 178 male infants; 264 dizygotic, 132 female, 132 male infants) who were assessed with electroencephalography (EEG), pupillometry, and gaze tracking technologies at 5 months of age. Substantial familial factors (additive genetics and/or shared environment) for data missingness were found across all experiments. The amount of missing data showed only a low correlation across the experiments, suggesting a high degree of specificity in the factors contributing to missingness. The results underscore the need to adopt and improve procedural and analytical strategies that minimise data loss and its negative impacts on study conclusions.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13102918/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147794317","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 existence of this noise has led to the hypothesis that metacognitive judgments arise from a metacognitive system that is separate from the decision-making system responsible for Type-1 decisions. However, Type-2 decisions are different than standard Type-1 decisions in that they require evaluating the strength of sensory evidence rather than just making a simple categorical judgment. Here, we investigated whether Type-2 computational noise still exceeds Type-1 computational noise when both judgments require evaluation of the strength of sensory evidence. Participants (N = 319) performed a perceptual discrimination task and in different conditions provided Type-2 confidence judgments or Type-1 judgments based on biased expectations or unequal rewards. All these judgments require a similar fine-grained evaluation of the strength of sensory evidence (e.g., is the evidence high enough to justify a high-confidence rating or choosing the alternative with smaller probability or reward). We first confirmed that the confidence and expectation conditions resulted in similarly biased criteria and perceptual sensitivity drop, whereas the reward conditions exhibited less biased criteria and smaller perceptual sensitivity drop. Critically, formal computational modeling demonstrated that all conditions exhibited comparable levels of computational noise. These findings demonstrate that Type-1 and Type-2 decisions exhibit computational noise of similar magnitude when they require similar fine-grained evaluation of sensory evidence strength. More generally, our results have implications for the debate on whether Type-1 and Type-2 decisions are made by separate systems.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13462944/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147701399","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}

There is a line of evidence from dense sampling psychophysics supporting this claim: In such studies, performance in visual target detection or discrimination is repeatedly tested at various fine-grained time intervals relative to a reference event. This reference event is presented at the beginning of each trial, and it is thought to reset some internal oscillation. Performance time courses following the reset often show rhythmic oscillations in the sub-second range. The interpretation has been that several quickly alternating peaks and troughs of perceptual efficiency exist. Here, we propose an alternative. Instead of being rhythmic, the perceptual processing efficiency time course might exhibit only a single peak in each trial. If the temporal location of this peak is constrained to co-occur with one of the peaks of the internal continuing oscillation, rhythmicity in overall performance time courses can be explained when performance is computed across many trials. Applying this perspective to three published datasets (N = 44, N = 34, N = 11) and running simulations, we confirm the possible existence of such phase-aligned peaks in perceptual efficiency. We show that foreperiod priming (behavioural advantage of repeating the same time interval between reference and target from one trial to the next) alternates across time. This is predicted if peaks in perceptual efficiency are consistently allocated to those time intervals that coincide with a peak in the underlying oscillation. Priming therefore works best at these intervals, which coincide with a peak in the underlying oscillation.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13195158/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147694065","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}

While parents sing to their babies in all human cultures, we still know little about how this experience shapes babies' perception abilities and their neural correlates. This work, therefore, investigates how the newborn brain processes song compared to its two components, speech and hummed melody. Specifically, we test the hypothesis that by regularizing the rhythm of speech, song may support language acquisition. Using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), we found that newborns' (n = 40) showed stronger responses for both speech and song in the right temporoparietal regions than activation triggered by humming. Despite their clear acoustic distinctions, no significant differences were observed between the neural response of speech and song. This suggests that singing, just like speech, may represent a salient input for the newborn brain, potentially supporting early speech perception and language development.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13278952/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147694235","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}

Studies showed that individuals often align their behaviors with peers under uncertainty, a phenomenon known as the \"social contagion\" effect. Yet it remains unclear how the social contagion effect in behavioral preferences is influenced by disparate others (e.g., conservative vs. adventurous) and modulated by different forms of uncertainty (e.g., risk vs. ambiguity). To address these questions, we conducted two independent experiments (N1 = 40 and N2 = 56) to investigate and directly compare the social contagion effect of risk and ambiguity preferences. We found that participants shifted both their risk and ambiguity preferences towards observees after observing their decisions. Intriguingly, participants aligned their risk preferences more toward risk-averse than risk-seeking observees, revealing an asymmetry in risk preference update. In contrast, we did not find reliable evidence for an asymmetric social contagion effect in ambiguity preference. Results from both experiments were fully replicated in a preregistered replication study (N1 = 61 and N2 = 62). Together, our findings highlight distinct patterns of social influence on risk and ambiguity preferences, implicating the subtle interplay between social information processing and decision-making under uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13260373/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147655641","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}

Precisely how citations are given and accrued can provide information about the value of discovery, the history of scientific ideas, the structure of fields, and the space or scope of inquiry. Yet parsing this information has been challenging because citations are not simply present or absent; rather, they differ in purpose, function, and sentiment. In this paper, we investigated how critical and favorable sentiments were distributed across citations, and tested the hypothesis that more favorable sentiment would be utilized among ingroup members, whereas more critical sentiment would be utilized toward outgroup members. We considered three group types: collaborators, those with a similar h-index, and those with the same gender. We observed that citation sentiment was more favorable to collaborators than non-collaborators, an effect that was modulated by both gender and h-index. Further, we observed that disciplinary and country-level factors impacting a scholar's perception of the size of their ingroup also explained citation sentiment: Largely experimental fields that engage in regular scholarly synthesis through review articles employed less citation sentiment, as did countries with more collectivist attitudes and greater acceptance of social hierarchies. Collectively, we demonstrated how sociocultural groups displayed ingroup preferences in the use of sentiment in scientific communication. Our study contributes to a broader understanding of how human factors influence the practice of science, and underscores the importance of considering the larger sociocultural contexts in which science progresses.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13199464/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147583271","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 a sample of 221 participants, we combined electroencephalography with ecological momentary assessment to examine how self-reported impulsivity and compulsivity relate to daily self-control and moderate the association between ERN amplitude and daily self-control. High compulsivity was associated with increased desire enactment and more frequent self-control failures. Critically, ERN amplitude was associated with better self-control only at low levels of both impulsivity and compulsivity. These findings indicate that the relationship between performance monitoring and daily self-control varies as a function of trait-level impulsivity and compulsivity.

While prior research demonstrates that both feature types are independently represented in memory, available evidence suggests that recognition decisions (i.e., identifying one image as previously seen) depend primarily on conceptual features. However, memory judgments are a culmination of several processing stages: evidence accumulation, recognition decisions and subjective evaluations about memory quality. Whether perceptual and conceptual representations influence stages beyond recognition decisions, and whether these representations interact during these stages, remains untested. To address these questions, we conducted a series of experiments in which subjects performed forced-choice memory tests. In these tests, subjects encoded several images (e.g., the picture of a dog) and later had to discriminate between the encoded images and similar lures (e.g., the picture of a similar dog). Crucially, we employed computational models of vision to independently quantify the perceptual and conceptual similarity between the encoded images and their lures. Experiment 1 (N = 140) revealed that both perceptual and conceptual similarity impaired evidence accumulation, though only conceptual similarity decreased recognition accuracy. Experiments 2 (N = 254) and 3 (N = 315) revealed a similar effect, with conceptual similarity decreasing recognition accuracy. However, by directly testing interactions between both types of features, our results showed that when perceptual similarity between targets and lures was high, the detrimental effect of conceptual similarity on recognition accuracy was diminished -a reduction that was associated with participants increased reliance on more detailed-based retrieval strategies.","PeriodicalId":501698,"journal":{"name":"Communications Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13124592/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147517662","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}
