This study examines how event structure and syntactic usage preferences jointly influence syntactic choice in sentence production, using structural priming of Chinese transitive events. Across three experiments, Chinese participants read aloud priming sentences (displayed alongside event pictures) and then described target pictures. The priming and target events were manipulated as identical, similar, or dissimilar. Half of the priming sentences used verbal predicate structures, while the other half employed high-preferred ba-constructions (Experiment 1), medium-preferred bei-constructions (Experiment 2), or low-preferred gei-constructions (Experiment 3). Results revealed that priming effects were modulated by both event structure and syntactic usage preferences. For ba- and bei-constructions, participants repeated the priming structure more frequently when priming and target events were similar (vs. dissimilar), with further increases for identical events. In contrast, for the dispreferred gei-construction, priming only increased significantly in the identical-event condition, with no difference between similar and dissimilar events. These findings demonstrate that event structure activation influences syntactic choice during grammatical encoding, but this influence is constrained by the strength of syntactic usage preferences. The results highlight the interplay between conceptual (event structure) and linguistic (syntactic usage preference) factors in shaping structural priming.

We also measured mouse movements, which revealed that cooperating pairs moved more efficiently, spending less time moving and moving more directly. Even though social interactions increasingly occur online, it remains unclear whether online interactions follow a similar format to in-person ones. In this study, we recreated the previously published online experiment (Ma et al., 2023) in a real-world context to determine whether individuals resolve and create social uncertainty similarly across physical contexts. Eighty-two participants (41 dyads) completed six card games, three cooperatively and three competitively. In each game, players collected cards that matched their goal and guessed what goal the other player was collecting. For each player, we measured card and guess scores (game performance), along with their hand kinematics. Similar to the online study, participants guessed the other player's goal more accurately during cooperation compared with competition (cooperate benefit), and performance improved across games (learning benefit). However, in the real world, player movement was opposite to previous findings, with participants moving slower and less directly when cooperating compared with competing. These differences in movement suggest that social decision-making behaviour is not just context dependent (e.g. competition or cooperation) but also environment dependent, with an in-person environment altering how individuals reduce and create uncertainty.

Using data from the Combined Attention Systems Test, we examine how different attention networks-alerting, orienting, and executive control-develop uniquely as we age and interact in ways that shape cognitive performance. First, we demonstrate that these networks change in dissociable ways with age, challenging the notion of a uniform attentional decline, revealing instead that different networks follow distinct trajectories. Second, we provide evidence that spatial orienting (both exogenous and endogenous) modulates executive control, reducing cognitive conflict in flanker tasks. Third, we highlight the importance of measurement assumptions in aging research, showing that executive control appears to decline when measured by reaction time alone, but remains stable or even improves when accuracy is considered. These findings underscore the need to disentangle cohort-related strategic differences (e.g., older adults favouring accuracy over speed) from intrinsic neurocognitive aging effects (e.g., general slowing and network desynchronization). By integrating theoretical perspectives with empirical data, this work advances our understanding of attention as a dynamic, multicomponent system that adapts over the lifespan.

For example, responses to more frequent stimuli are faster and less error-prone than responses to less frequent stimuli. Here we ask whether this adjustment to relative stimulus-response frequencies is local, that is, specific for stimulus locations, or global, that is, generalized across stimulus locations. In two experiments, participants responded to two colours of stimuli presented with different relative frequencies in upper and lower locations on a monitor, but equal relative frequencies in left and right locations. In the first experiment, reaction times and error rates differed between responses to the stimuli with different relative frequencies presented at the upper and lower locations and less so for responses to the stimuli with identical relative frequencies at left and right locations; for left and right locations, the effect of relative frequency was accompanied by a modulation of the Simon effect. In the second experiment, additional stimuli presented in a central location served to equate the overall frequency of the stimulus colours and responses. In this experiment, only a small effect of relative frequency remained for responses to stimulus colours in upper and lower locations where they actually had different relative frequencies. According to these results, there are both a global, location-independent effect of relative stimulus-response frequency and a local, location-dependent effect.

These results are theoretically relevant, as they suggest that it is not only the mere repetition of word reading (lexical frequency) but also the semantic context in which words are encountered that affects lexical representation of words. In this study, we assess the role of semantic diversity by applying latent semantic analysis to a Spanish database, deriving word values for semantic diversity. Children and adults performed a lexical decision task to 300 words with different values of this variable while controlling the frequency, age of acquisition, and letter length. The results indicate that adults and children respond faster to words with high semantic diversity than those with lower semantic diversity. These results obtained for the first time in Spanish are consistent with previous findings and support the view that the semantic contexts in which words appear contribute to their lexical representations.

Despite semantic inconsistencies in near-win and near-loss literature, we offer a resolution where a near-loss is defined as an actual positive outcome described in reference to a negative counterfactual. Furthermore, we leverage the commercial \"push-your-luck\" game Can't Stop (Sackson, 1980) as a playful paradigm to study the behavioural consequences of near-misses compared to full-wins, playing against opponents who are either cautious or reckless. Each turn, players are given the option to either continue rolling dice (but risk losing their progress) or stop (thereby saving their progress). Our data showed that previous outcome and opponency interacted such that participants produced more stop behaviour against the cautious opponent relative to the reckless opponent but only when the previous outcome was a near-loss. Imitation of an opponent's behaviour is discussed both in reference to its potential automaticity and social contingencies, whereas stopping behaviour is considered a possibly erroneous perception of the interdependence between dice throws.

In 2013, however, Mooneyham and Schooler (2013) broadened mind-wandering's impact by reviewing emerging literature on both its costs and benefits. Research has now expanded enough that mind-wandering can no longer be treated as a simple failure of attention. In this sequel, we synthesize key findings from the past 13 years on when mind-wandering harms and when it helps. On the cost side, mind-wandering can reduce sensitivity to others' pain, spread lapses across peers in learning contexts, disrupt fine motor control, and weaken memory encoding. On the benefit side, mind-wandering is linked with improved memory consolidation, especially when thoughts return to recently learned material. Additional work suggests that mind-wandering can facilitate extraction of hidden probabilistic structure during statistical learning, support low-stakes decisions with less deliberative effort, and reduce semantic satiation during highly repetitive tasks. We also revisit mind-wandering's relation to mood, emphasizing that affective outcomes depend on more than just task-relatedness alone. This article outlines future directions to cultivate a sharper scientific understanding of how mind-wandering shapes different kinds of behavior.

Computational approaches using natural language processing offer promise as a rapid means of examining characteristics of narrative texts. Though used extensively in social media and customer reviews in industry, their classification accuracy relative to human coders remains unclear for psychological data. We compared the congruence of two popular lexicon-based sentiment analysis tools, Valence Aware Dictionary and sEntiment Reasoner (VADER) and TextBlob, with self-reported valence, for 3,309 narratives representing autobiographical memories from two different data sets. Both tools, but especially TextBlob, displayed a bias in rating memories as neutral in valence. Across both data sets, VADER consistently produced more congruent classifications than did TextBlob. Accuracy improved significantly, to moderate levels of congruence (rMCC = .32), on par with that of human coders reported in other work, when classification was limited to three valence types (negative, neutral, or positive) rather than five. Tool performance remained consistent regardless of data set size. VADER, more so than TextBlob, is a useful means of rapidly determining the broad emotional valence within large volumes of text data that would be unfeasible for manual coding.

In Experiment 1, participants judged whether smiles (human or emoji) were \"really happy\" or \"not really happy.\" Both stimulus types included smiles that varied in cues of sincerity (presence or absence of the cheek raiser). In Experiment 2, the same task was repeated with open or closed mouth variations. Participants identified human enjoyment smiles as \"really happy\" more often than nonenjoyment smiles, whereas emojis were rated as \"really happy\" regardless of the sincerity cue. Closed mouth smiles were judged as less happy than open mouth smiles, and judgements were faster for emojis than for human faces.
