As functors are more frequent than content words, they serve as anchors with respect to which the positions of other words can readily be encoded. This frequency-based bootstrapping strategy has been shown to be used both by infants and adults. However, only a handful of languages, mainly spoken in Western countries, have been tested so far. One hurdle to more inclusive testing is the lack of laboratory facilities in some geographical areas of the world. Online testing is a useful tool to overcome this difficulty. The current study, therefore, implements and validates an online version of an artificial grammar learning paradigm originally developed for laboratory use to test the frequency-based anchoring effect on adults in typologically different languages, Italian and Turkish. Italian has functor-initial word order, while Turkish is functor-final. Our study thus has two related goals. We test whether previous lab-based results by Gervain et al. (2013) with Italian adults are replicable using online testing. Additionally, we leverage online testing to assess a hitherto understudied language, Turkish, which has opposite word order properties compared to Italian. Our findings indicate that online testing can efficiently reproduce laboratory-based results: Italian adults in our online study show similar word order preferences to those tested in the laboratory earlier. Further, we found that Turkish participants have opposite word order preferences, as we predicted. These findings pave the way for testing the frequency-based bootstrapping hypothesis on a more inclusive and diverse sample of languages than previously available.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"254 ","pages":"Article 104861"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143529060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To understand the potential categorization of global competence and its influencing factors among secondary school students, this study used a questionnaire to survey students in 89 secondary schools in Shanghai, China. Latent profile analysis was used to examine the heterogeneity of the selected students' global competence. Analysis of variance was performed to explore how the latent categories of global competence are associated with gender and foreign language learning. Furthermore, logistic regression analysis was employed to identify their potential profiles' influencing factors. The results demonstrated that secondary school students' global competence can be categorized into one of four potential categories––limited awareness and engagement, emerging awareness and engagement, developed cognition and moderate engagement, and highly developed and globally engaged––with the highest number in the developed cognition and moderate engagement group and the lowest number in the limited awareness and engagement group. Furthermore, the variables of gender, years of foreign language learning, number of languages studied, and satisfaction with the school's foreign language curriculum may serve as potential indicators for categorizing global competence profiles. The study's results can be useful for subsequent theoretical and practical research in this field.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"254 ","pages":"Article 104850"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143520726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these situations, people typically want to maintain a level of personal space around themselves.

However, this work did not distinguish between the type of object interaction (or mobility constraint) and thus, it is unclear whether different constraints have different effects on avoidance behaviours. Here we tested the hypothesis that the type of object an approaching pedestrian held or pushed would affect the extent of path deviation, which would also depend on the distractedness of the pedestrian. To address this hypothesis, we created an immersive virtual environment that consisted of a 3.5-m-wide paved urban path. Participants had to walk and avoid colliding with approaching virtual pedestrians that often held a shopping bag or pushed a bike or stroller while looking straight ahead or off to the side as if distracted. Distraction did not affect avoidance behaviours. However, participants increased medial-lateral separation with the virtual pedestrian at the time of crossing when a stroller was present compared to the other mobility constraints. The type of mobility constraint also differentially affected onset of deviation and rate of progression before and after a path deviation. These results support the idea that characteristics of the obstacle to avoid (in this case, a virtual pedestrian) influence collision avoidance behaviours.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"254 ","pages":"Article 104863"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143520729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
