In such contexts, we engage in a \"free-range\" haptic search. The objects we feel can be moved freely and our hands can move freely. Free-range haptic search has been little studied, so we developed a laboratory task to do so. We invited college student to feel for a plastic pipe of fixed length among a variable number of uniformly shorter or longer plastic pipes, giving half of our participants informative precues (pictures showing the number of distractors and size difference between the target and distractors) and the other half uninformative precues (a simple \"go-ahead\" message). The informative precues boosted efficiency only when the target was much larger than the distractors. The result suggests that participants could take advantage of the informative precues to opt for a quick sweep of the search area to pick out the object that would \"stick out like a sore thumb.\" Otherwise, they would resort to that strategy with a lower probability. Because our task has high ecological validity, we can recommend that informative advance information may help haptically impaired individuals search more efficiently.

However, whether these processes are sequential or interactive is a matter of debate. Little is known about how eye-movement behaviour changes when faced with different linguistic and arithmetic task characteristics, both in relation to the entire problem and to specific components (i.e., numerical and textual elements). To address this gap, we conducted a study monitoring the eye movements of children aged 10-13 years during word problem solving. We manipulated linguistic and arithmetic task characteristics independently, focusing on the mathematical factor operation (addition/subtraction) and the linguistic factors consistency (consistent/inconsistent) and nominalization (verbalized/nominalized). The results revealed that eye movements generally increased as linguistic difficulty (e.g., nominalization) or arithmetic difficulty (e.g., operation) increased. Thereby, specific parts of the text were differentially affected based on the task characteristics. Increasing arithmetic difficulty led to a shift in eye movements towards numerical elements, while increasing linguistic difficulty resulted in a shift towards textual elements. Interestingly, the increase in arithmetic difficulty also influenced processing in the linguistic domain. For example, textual parts of the word problem received more fixations when the arithmetic difficulty increased, but not vice versa. This suggests that text comprehension and calculation processes in word problem solving are not separate and not strictly sequential; instead, they interact and/or do partially rely on shared cognitive resources.

To challenge stereotypes, we focus on visuo-spatial thinking by research mathematicians (n = 232). Via the Object-Spatial Imagery and Verbal Questionnaire (Blazhenkova & Kozhevnikov, 2009), together with open questions, we ask the following: (1) Are mathematicians visuo-spatial thinkers? (2) Is the degree of visual thinking correlated with mathematical subdiscipline? (3) Which role does visual thinking play in mathematical research? The Object-Spatial Imagery and Verbal Questionnaire results indicate that mathematicians are more strongly visuo-spatial thinkers than scientists, humanities researchers or visual artists. The degree of visuo-spatial thinking does not correlate to how 'visual' the mathematical subdiscipline is as measured by average figure environment per article, obtained through text mining 3,799 arXiv articles. In open questions, two thirds of respondents (n = 222) report using visual mental imagery during mathematical research. Some mathematicians mention metaphors for research that refer to spatial movement, such as rock climbing, moving through a jungle or attacking the problem like an insect. Our study contributes to the research agenda set by Alcock et al. (2016), which aims to improve our understanding of mathematical cognition for the purpose of elucidating the nature of mathematical thinking and inform policymakers to address challenges in mathematics education. We conclude that visualisation plays an important part in the practice of mathematics, contrary to common belief.

One questionnaire-based measure that potentially fills this gap is Language Entropy (e.g., Gullifer & Titone, 2018, 2020), which quantifies the balance between compartmentalised and integrated language use. However, an open question is whether questionnaire-based Language Entropy is a valid reflection of socially realistic language behaviours. To address this question, we grounded questionnaire-based Language Entropy using personal social network data for a linguistically diverse sample of speakers of French and English in the city of Montréal (n = 95). Specifically, we used exploratory factor analysis to characterise the factor structures resulting from questionnaire-based and social network-based Entropy. In addition, we examined the generalisability and stability of the relationship between both entropies across three bilingual groups with different social network compositions: simultaneous, English-dominant, and French-dominant. Our findings indicated that both questionnaire-based and social network-based entropies loaded onto the same factors and that the relationship between them was not affected by group differences in social network composition or by context. This suggests that questionnaire-based Language Entropy aligns well with social network-based Entropy and that this relationship is stable across different sociolinguistic realities, validating Language Entropy as a useful tool for quantifying language diversity.

We compare the distribution of semantic features that comprise early acquired verb and noun meanings and measure their effect on learning. First, couched in prior literature, we use semantic feature data to establish that features pattern on a hierarchy of complexity, with perceptual features being less complex than other features like encyclopaedic features. Second, given overall semantic and syntactic differences between nouns and verbs, we hypothesize that the preference for directly perceptible features observed for nouns will be attenuated for verbs. Building on prior work using semantic features and semantic networks in nouns, we find that compared to early learned nouns (N = 359), early learned verbs (N = 103) have meanings disproportionately built from complex information inaccessible to the senses. Third, we find that 16- to 30-month-old children's early noun and verb vocabularies (N = 3,804) show semantic relationships that differ in their use of this complex information from the beginning of vocabulary development. Last, we find that the complexity of nouns' and verbs' meanings affects their typical order of learning in early vocabulary development. Complexity differs in early noun and verb meanings, affects the semantic structure of children's vocabularies, and shapes the course of word learning.

Interest in collective memory among cognitive psychologists has boomed in recent years, with many studies leveraging fluency tasks to probe what events and people come to mind given a prompt. As other research using fluency tasks has benefitted greatly from network analysis (e.g., semantic memory research), it seems there is an opportunity to deepen our understanding of collective cognition and changes in collective cognition by adopting a network perspective. In the current article, we ask whether collective memory investigations could be enriched by harnessing the tools of network science. We start by reviewing the relevant collective memory literature and touch on the deep semantic memory literature to the extent it provides ties to network analysis for present goals. Our novel contributions to the topic include the introduction of a large fluency data set collected over the course of a decade as part of a task embedded within several research projects. We conduct several descriptive analyses and initial, proof-of-concept network analyses examining collective memory for U.S. cities. Some cities-those that are recalled most frequently-are recalled at similar rates and in similar output positions across time and task contexts. Our network approach suggests that recall transitions (e.g., recalling Los Angeles and San Francisco in adjacent positions) are made at similar rates as well. Together, these complementary approaches suggest a striking stability in both what people recall and their ordering, providing a window into the composition of collective memories.

Semantic memory networks were constructed from recall data by analyzing the co-occurrence and sequence of recalled words. We observed significant differences in network structure, where the older group displayed higher average shortest path length and modularity values, indicative of less integrated networks, while the younger group exhibited a higher clustering coefficient, suggesting a more interconnected network. In terms of retrieval dynamics, both groups showed a temporal contiguity effect with forward asymmetry. However, this effect was less pronounced in older adults. The study also identified participants that diverted from the average dynamic curves: one subgroup relied on nontemporal mechanisms, and the other employed a backward direction in memory search. Participants utilizing forward temporal associations demonstrated the highest recall performance. Overall, our findings suggest that lower free recall performance in older adults may be related to a diminished capacity to reinstate temporal context for retrieval and distinct differences in their semantic memory network structure. Specifically, older adults appear to exhibit networks with a less flexible, small-world-like structure.

While much research has concentrated on first languages, there is growing evidence suggesting that phonological networks of second languages are equally significant for lexical processes. Bilingual language processing is proposed to involve the integration of first and second languages, with lexical activation spreading between similar word forms in both languages. Multiplex networks provide a framework to combine different phonological networks, allowing for the analysis of the integrated lexical system's behaviour during lexical processing. In the context of the present study, which focusses on German learners of English as a second language, a multiplex network analysis was constructed to model the interactive complexity of the bilingual mental lexicon. The study tested cross-linguistic effects in a word recognition task using English stimuli. Results revealed that during lexical processing in their second language English, German speakers also activate phonological neighbours from German. In addition, the bilinguals are attuned to the interconnectedness (i.e., clustering) of the German and English neighbours with one another in the phonological neighbourhood of the English target words. These findings can contribute to the ongoing debate on the degree of integration in the bilingual mental lexicon and shed light on the role that phonological networks can play in modelling bilingual lexical processing.
