We present a theoretical account of familiar face recognition, dividing it into early visual, domain-sensitive and domain-general phases, and integrating image-independence and levels of familiarity.

Here we review the accumulating evidence for a genuinely symmetric interference between time and space and discuss potential explanations as to why asymmetric interference can arise, both with respect to the interaction between spatial size and temporal duration, and the interaction between traveled distance and travel time. Contrary to the view of hierarchical representations of time and space, our review suggests that asymmetric interference can be explained on the basis of working memory processes and the aspect of speed inherent in dynamic stimuli.

Over the past half-century, the methods of cultural studies have improved dramatically in the depth of the research questions posed.

The development of culture is influenced by various factors, encompassing not only the humanistic environment but also factors related to the natural environment and socio-economic conditions. Hence, culture involves multiple concepts with associated levels and dimensions, such as genes, molecules, brains, individuals, groups, institutions, societies, and political environments. Therefore, we propose the concept of Culturomics, a cross-level, interdisciplinary science that studies human behavior and cultural representation in high-order space. Under this concept, it is necessary to find new methods to compare multidimensional data from different levels directly.

Namely, they facilitate information gain, allowing an organism to maintain accurate beliefs about the environment and select actions that better maximize reward. However, finding the optimal balance between exploration and reward-seeking behavior – the so-called explore-exploit dilemma – can be challenging, as it requires sensitivity to one’s own uncertainty and to the predictability of one’s surroundings. Given the close relationship between uncertainty and anxiety, a body of work has now also emerged identifying associated effects on exploration. In particular, the field of computational psychiatry has begun to use cognitive computational models to characterize how anxiety may modulate underlying information processing mechanisms, such as estimation of uncertainty and the value of information, and how this might contribute to psychopathology. Here, we review computational modeling studies investigating how exploration is influenced by anxiety. While some apparent inconsistencies remain to be resolved, studies using reinforcement learning tasks suggest that directed (but not random) forms of exploration may be elevated by trait and/or cognitive anxiety, but reduced by state and/or somatic anxiety. Anxiety is also consistently associated with less exploration in foraging tasks. Some differences in exploration may further stem from how anxiety modulates changes in uncertainty over time (learning rates). Jointly, these results highlight important directions for future work in refining choice of tasks and anxiety measures and maintaining consistent methodology across studies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56105,"journal":{"name":"Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews","volume":"167 ","pages":"Article 105940"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142633431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
