This process has traditionally been studied using two approaches — the psycholinguistic approach and the motor speech approach — that focus on different stages of the production process. In this Perspective, I highlight the strengths of these two approaches and merge them with broader frameworks and theories of action and cognition to open new directions for language production research. I discuss proposed models for how speakers assess whether production is going smoothly (monitoring), adjust to difficulties (control) and fix errors (repair). Each proposal combines language production research with insights from other areas of cognition to demonstrate the utility and necessity of a closer integration of broader cognitive frameworks into models of word production. Word production has typically been studied using two distinct approaches: one focused on higher-level linguistic processes and one on lower-level motor processes. In this Perspective, Nozari draws from both approaches to discuss how speakers assess whether production is going smoothly, adjust to difficulties and fix errors.","PeriodicalId":74249,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews psychology","volume":"4 3","pages":"222-238"},"PeriodicalIF":16.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143595734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, sexual interactions between romantic partners do not occur in a vacuum, and sexual desire can be influenced by the relational context as well as other situational factors. In this Review, we consider how sexual desire and relationship functioning influence each other across relationship development. First, we delineate how sexual desire changes over time and shapes relationship trajectories. We then introduce the relationship development model of sexual desire, which clarifies the functional significance of sexual desire in relationship development and the circumstances in which this function becomes particularly prominent. Next, we consider the reverse causal direction, providing an overview of how contextual, relational and individual factors influence couples’ sexual well-being and the inclination to seek sexual gratification outside the current relationship. We conclude by considering unanswered questions in the field and discuss how novel approaches, such as using dating apps to recruit people at the earliest stages of their relationship, might provide insight into these questions. Sexual desire initially draws romantic partners together and continues to influence — and is influenced by — relationship functioning once relationships are established. In this Review, Birnbaum and Muise describe the dynamic nature of sexual desire and relationship functioning, and how they influence each other across relationship development.","PeriodicalId":74249,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews psychology","volume":"4 3","pages":"193-206"},"PeriodicalIF":16.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143595735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bjork","doi":"10.1038/s44159-025-00404-6","DOIUrl":"10.1038/s44159-025-00404-6","url":null,"abstract":"Despite the unprecedented toll of the opioid epidemic in the United States, the neurobehavioural features of opioid use disorder remain substantially understudied. Impulsivity has a central role in substance use disorders, but might not be as prominent in opioid addiction. Impulsivity has multiple dimensions, related to stability and change (trait versus state) and emotion (emotion elicited versus emotion neutral). In this Review, we suggest that trait and state impulsivity in opioid use disorder is primarily emotion elicited and mediated by negative reinforcement mechanisms that aim to relieve opioid users from acute or protracted opioid withdrawal or chronic negative affective states (for example, physical or emotional pain). Indeed, negative reinforcement mechanisms are involved in all stages of the opioid addiction cycle and are more heavily implicated in opioid use than in other substance use. Moreover, we identify that impulsive behaviour in opioid use disorder frequently occurs in the context of negative affectivity manifested as a personality trait (such as negative urgency) or a personality disorder (such as psychopathy), which are less common in other substance use disorders. Further examination of these mechanisms will deepen current knowledge of the neurobehavioural underpinnings of opioid addiction and improve clinical treatment. Impulsivity is considered a risk factor for many substance use disorders, but its specific role in opioid use disorder remains unclear. In this Review, Vassileva et al. detail how negative affect shapes impulsivity throughout the opioid addiction cycle and discuss avenues for focused interventions.","PeriodicalId":74249,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews psychology","volume":"4 3","pages":"170-192"},"PeriodicalIF":16.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143595731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
