Here, we use functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate this integration employing a novel free-viewing task. Participants viewed images depicting object-tool pairs that were either mechanically consistent (<em>e.g.</em>, nail – steel hammer) or mechanically inconsistent (<em>e.g.</em>, scarf – steel hammer). These pairs were situated on a metal plate atop a table, with a stripped electrical cable in contact with the plate that could be plugged in or out from the electrical line, rendering the tools either electrified or not. Task-based functional connectivity revealed an interplay among specific left-brain regions – the middle temporal (MTG), inferior frontal (IFG), and supramarginal (SMG) gyri – during the processing of mechanical actions and physics principles, associating the activity of these areas with mechanical knowledge (SMG) and object-related semantic knowledge (MTG). Notably, the IFG was active during both types of processing, suggesting a critical role of this region in multi-modal information integration. These findings support the most recent integrated neurocognitive models of physical understanding, deepening our comprehension of how we make sense of the physical world.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55331,"journal":{"name":"Brain and Cognition","volume":"183 ","pages":"Article 106253"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142824580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Visual performance improved in the staircase and moderate training groups but not in the easy or difficult training groups. ERP results revealed a decreased P1 amplitude in all groups. Additionally, staircase training increased the frontal P2 amplitude; accordingly, moderate constant stimulus training reduced the frontal P2 amplitude and increased the frontal N2 amplitude. Importantly, the change in frontal P2 amplitude was correlated with improved performance, indicating the involvement of cortices responsible for higher-order cognitive processes in VPL. Additionally, the difference in frontal P2 amplitude changes suggests the modulation of training methods (adaptive and consistent) on the role of attention in VPL.

EEG experiments were conducted on a conventional 3D display platform. Eight subjects were involved to analyze differences in the event-related potential (ERP) and power spectrum when the brain perceived binocular color fusion and binocular color rivalry. Results show that: 1) the latencies of ERP components N1 and P2 of binocular color fusion were shorter than that of binocular color rivalry, 2) the amplitudes of the ERP components P2 and P3 of binocular color fusion were greater than that that of color rivalry, and 3) the left hemisphere was dominant for binocular color rivalry while the right hemisphere was greater involved in binocular color fusion. These results indicate that during the initial and mid-term cognitive processing, the brain response to binocular color fusion is faster than binocular color rivalry. Both binocular color fusion and rivalry involve visual post-processing, but binocular color fusion requires a greater allocation of neural resources.

At the later stage, social observation modulated the neural activity evoked by donation decision making, with high-SES individuals showing larger P3 and late positive potentials (LPP) in the observable (vs. non-observable) condition.

To explain these findings, we integrate the ear to the ground hypothesis and the socioenvironmental epigenetic stress approach. According to the ear to the ground hypothesis, frequent and prolonged environmental uncertainty and hazard induce low-SES children to learn adaptive over-vigilance, attending disproportionately to stimuli that are currently irrelevant but may quickly become relevant and thus require an immediate survival response. Socioenvironmental epigenetic stress refers to the bidirectional interaction between a stress-inducing environment and the impact and expression of transgenerational gene selections in low-SES contexts. Because low-SES individuals are historically under and misrepresented in research, the proposed framework contributes to increase our understanding of how socioeconomic and environmental conditions may affect neurocognitive development.
