Although recently formalized in cognitive science, strategies to mitigate this bias remain limited. This pilot study investigated the potential of the additive bias Implicit Association Test (ad-IAT) as a scalable educational tool for raising awareness of additive bias and promoting subtractive thinking. Sixty participants were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: ad-IAT, experiential learning, or control. In Session 1, all participants completed a familiarization task with a digital grid, which served as the foundation for the subsequent tasks in the study. In Session 2, participants completed either the ad-IAT (with personalized feedback), a grid-based experiential task emphasizing subtractive efficiency or an unrelated gender IAT. In Session 3, all participants completed the same test grid, structured so that symmetry could be achieved more efficiently through subtraction than addition. Results showed that participants in the ad-IAT condition exhibited a strong implicit preference for additive concepts. Although differences in strategy use were not statistically significant across conditions, both the ad-IAT and experience groups demonstrated higher accuracy than the control group, with the experience group completing the task significantly faster. These findings suggest that both implicit and experiential interventions can reduce reliance on additive strategies, with the ad-IAT offering a time-efficient and scalable method for promoting metacognitive insight and behavioral change. Implications for creativity, education, and cognitive training are discussed.","PeriodicalId":94013,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Cognition","volume":"4 ","pages":"1624526"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13281037/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148310963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phenomenon occurs in many everyday situations and work environments and may be exacerbated by brain damage or developmental disorders. However, despite its seeming omnipresence, the exact meaning of \"vigilance\" and vigilance decrement is often unclear, with the term \"vigilance\" frequently used interchangeably with related concepts such as arousal, alertness, or sustained attention. This narrative review seeks to clarify this conceptual overlap, offering a precise definition of vigilance, whilst separating it from these other phenomena. Furthermore, this narrative review also provides a detailed account of some of the factors that modulate vigilance performance, as well as an overview of current theories that explain its frequent and progressive decrement over time. Lastly, it highlights the most relevant structural and electrophysiological correlates of its proper functioning. By integrating these insights, a more refined understanding of vigilance and its decrement may emerge, helping to unify future research findings and facilitate the development of interventions to mitigate its effects.","PeriodicalId":94013,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Cognition","volume":"4 ","pages":"1617561"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13271136/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148311114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This mini review will first highlight the neural anatomy of different aspects of mental imagery, focusing on the roles of the hippocampus, ventromedial prefrontal cortex and posterior neocortex and the consequences of damage to these regions to AM. We will then contrast the consequences of missing images for AM in two special populations with no apparent brain damage: Congenital Aphantasia (i.e., lack of visual imagery) and congenital blindness (i.e., lack of visual perception). We propose that Aphantasia leads to impaired scene construction and reduced AM reliving. Despite limited evidence on AM in congenitally blind individuals, they seem to rely on auditory and tactile information to construct (scene) imagery, which in turn may support vivid AM reliving. The main findings here suggest that mental scene imagery, rather than visual encoding, is crucial for AM. This conclusion has far-reaching implications for understanding memory disorders, mental health, and a call to protect our imagination.","PeriodicalId":94013,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Cognition","volume":"4 ","pages":"1644533"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13271132/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148310894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent evidence from a large-scale military sample suggests a link between performance declines and increased mind wandering over a 20-min Sustained Attention to Response Task. Herein, we examined if similar patterns are present when the task duration is shorter and delivered online to college students who rely on sustained attention for academic success. Specifically, we explored the relationship between the vigilance decrement and mind wandering in undergraduates (N = 310) completing a 10-min Sustained Attention to Response Task embedded with mind wandering probes. Bivariate growth curve modeling was used to examine within-task changes in performance and mind wandering over time-on-task as well as their covariance. The results revealed that a decrease in accuracy and an increase in response time variability were associated with an increase in mind wandering with greater time-on-task. In addition, self-reported task motivation, interest, and difficulty ratings were assessed as potential person-level moderators of changes with time-on-task. The results showed that individuals with higher motivation and interest ratings demonstrated a reduced time-on-task effect on response time variability and mind wandering. These findings suggest that mind wandering contributes to the vigilance decrement, even in shorter-duration tasks. Additionally, higher task-related motivation and interest appear to reduce the performance costs of mind wandering.","PeriodicalId":94013,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Cognition","volume":"4 ","pages":"1577053"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13271118/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148311106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, we performed an fMRI study (n = 34) on the acquisition of visuospatial targets in a delayed imitation paradigm. Task phases alternated between presentation and recall of a 20-target-long sequence. Behavioral data from the recall phase was used to determine encoding progress as a function of time during presentation, with this progress taken as a continuous predictor of BOLD activity. A separate, attention-only task was devised in order to isolate activity related to spatial attention shifts specifically. General linear model analysis using the constructed learning and attention predictors revealed heightened activation for both tasks in bilateral superior parietal lobules (SPL), bilateral V5, and bilateral middle frontal gyri (MFG). Increased response during learning was seen in the SPL and V5, but not MFG. Repeated measures ANOVA indicated significant interactions between region and task, as well as a right-biased tendency in the hemisphere*task interaction. This suggests a role for the SPL and V5 during sequence acquisition that cannot be explained by attention alone.","PeriodicalId":94013,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Cognition","volume":"4 ","pages":"1493709"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13271131/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148310961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Psychological research has shown that people can readily use causal information to make decisions and choose interventions. However, this work has mainly focused on novel systems rather than everyday domains, such as health and finance. Recent research suggests that in familiar scenarios, causal information can lead to worse decisions than having no information at all, but the mechanism behind this effect is not yet known. We aimed to address this by studying whether people reason differently when they receive causal information and whether the type of reasoning affects decision quality. For a set of decisions about health and personal finance, we used quantitative (e.g., decision accuracy) and qualitative (e.g., free-text descriptions of decision processes) methods to capture decision quality and how people used the provided information. We found that participants given causal information focused on different aspects than did those who did not receive causal information and that reasoning linked to better decisions with no information was associated with worse decisions with causal information. Furthermore, people brought in many aspects of their existing knowledge and preferences, going beyond the conclusions licensed by the provided information. Our findings provide new insights into why decision quality differs systematically between familiar and novel scenarios and suggest directions for future work guiding everyday choices.","PeriodicalId":94013,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Cognition","volume":"4 ","pages":"1608842"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13271127/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148310928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
