The relationships between urbanicity, general cognitive ability, and susceptibility to the Ebbinghaus illusion Psychol. Res. (IF 2.424) Pub Date : 2024-04-06 Serge Caparos, Esther Boissin
Previous studies have shown that, in samples of non-Western observers, susceptibility to the Ebbinghaus illusion is stronger in urban than rural dwellers. While such relationship between illusion strength and urbanicity has often been ascribed to external factors (such as the visual impact of the environment), the present study explored the possibility that it is instead mediated by general cognitive

Retrieving autobiographical memories in autobiographical contexts: are age-related differences in narrated episodic specificity present outside of the laboratory? Psychol. Res.

The Autobiographical Interview, a method for evaluating detailed memory of real-world events, reliably detects differences in episodic specificity at retrieval between young and older adults in the laboratory. Whether this age-associated reduction in episodic specificity for autobiographical event retrieval is present outside of the laboratory remains poorly understood. We used a videoconference format

Uncertainty salience reduces the accessibility of episodic future thoughts Psychol. Res. (IF 2.424) Pub Date : 2024-04-02 Marianthi Terpini, Arnaud D’Argembeau
We live in uncertain times and how this pervasive sense of uncertainty affects our ability to think about the future remains largely unexplored. This study aims to investigate the effects of uncertainty salience on episodic future thinking—the ability to mentally represent specific future events. Experiment 1 assessed the impact of uncertainty on the accessibility of episodic future thoughts using

Watching (natural) beauty boosts task performance: testing the nature-as-reward hypothesis Psychol. Res. (IF 2.424) Pub Date : 2024-04-01
Abstract In two online studies, we tested the “nature-as-reward hypothesis”, which suggests that superior cognitive task performance following nature exposure reflects a general performance improvement, driven by the reward value of beautiful things. In both between-subjects experiments, participants viewed either beautiful or less beautiful images for 10 s, comprising beautiful mountain photos (vs

The effect of verbal praise on prospective memory Psychol. Res. (IF 2.424) Pub Date : 2024-04-01
Abstract Verbal praise is often used to improve prospective memory performance in daily life. According to the motivation cognitive model, the promotional effect of verbal praise on prospective memory may depend largely on redeploying attentional resources, so its promotional effect is likely to be influenced by attention. Two groups of college students (n = 128, n = 117) participated in two experimental

Picture this! Suggested instructions for guiding the Neuroscience of action imagery: A commentary on Krüger et al. (2022) Psychol. Res. (IF 2.424) Pub Date : 2024-03-19 Eva Monsma, Brian D. Seiler
Our commentary expands the multisensory and modulating factors proposed by Kruger et al.’s (2023) internal models of action imagery and sensory crossovers. We will discuss the essence of imagery experiences as conceptual intersections among sensory, movement and affective properties that require further neuro-anatomical-contextual mapping to better understand the practical application of imagery. Accordingly

The other is the recursive reminding theory, which considers memory integration between an initial event with error generation and a subsequent event involving correct answer

Emotional cues reduce Pavlovian interference in feedback-based go and nogo learning Psychol. Res. (IF 2.424) Pub Date : 2024-03-14
Abstract It is easier to execute a response in the promise of a reward and withhold a response in the promise of a punishment than vice versa, due to a conflict between cue-related Pavlovian and outcome-related instrumental action tendencies in the reverse conditions. This robust learning asymmetry in go and nogo learning is referred to as the Pavlovian bias. Interestingly, it is similar to motivational

A differential impact of action–effect temporal contiguity on different measures of response inhibition in the Go\No-Go and Stop-signal paradigms Psychol. Res. (IF 2.424) Pub Date : 2024-03-07
Abstract Response inhibition refers to suppressing a prepotent motor response and is often studied and discussed as an act of cognitive control. Much less attention was given to the potential contribution of motor control processes to response inhibition. Accumulated empirical findings show that a perceptual effect temporally contiguous with a response improves motor control performance. In the current

Abstract Our aim was to study the processes involved in the spatial coding of the body during actions producing multiple simultaneous effects.

Accordingly, we used a Simon paradigm (widely recognized as a suitable method to investigate

Frank et al.’s (2023) perceptual–cognitive scaffold meaningfully extends the cognitive action architecture approach and we support this interdisciplinary advancement.

In particular, there is a need to consider how these mechanisms (1) might

These include brain imaging, perturbation through TMS, and psychophysical tests of adaptation of intended reach actions.

When does imagery require motor resources? A commentary on Bach et al., 2022 Psychol. Res. (IF 2.424) Pub Date : 2024-01-12 Gilles Vannuscorps
Bach, Frank, and Kunde introduce a hypothesis that encompasses two main claims: (1) motor imagery relies primarily on representations of the perceptual effects of actions, and (2) the engagement of motor resources provides access to the specific timing, kinematic or internal bodily state that characterize an action. In this commentary, I argue that the first claim is compelling and suggest some alternatives

Modifications of imagined sensory consequences will not benefit overt performance when they cannot be transformed into motor outflow that produces them. With physical practice, the acquisition of internal models of motor transformations is largely based on prediction errors that are absent in imagery practice. What can imagery practice nevertheless contribute to transformation learning? Explicit, strategic

Commentary on Frank et al., (2003): where does learning through motor imagery lie on the perceptual–motor continuum? Psychol. Res. (IF 2.424) Pub Date : 2023-12-19 Robert M. Hardwick
In this issue, Frank et al. (2023) propose that motor imagery provides a perceptual–cognitive scaffold allowing ‘perceptual’ learning to transfer into ‘motor’ learning. The present commentary explores the perspective that changes in perception itself are often critical to the development of motor skills. Motor imagery may therefore be most beneficial for developing motor skills with high perceptual

Rieger et al. (Psychol Res 2023:1–10, 2023) describe action imagery as motor simulation. Inverse models encode predicted action effects and compute muscle commands, which are inhibited to prevent overt action. We welcome this conceptualization of action imagery as inherently generative and predictive. In the spirit of stimulating further theoretical discourse on action imagery, and more broadly, action

A commentary on Eaves et al. with a special focus on clinical neurorehabilitation Psychol. Res. (IF 2.424) Pub Date : 2023-12-11 Corina Schuster-Amft, Frank Behrendt
We very much appreciate the theoretical foundations and considerations of AO, MI, and their combination AO + MI by Eaves et al. In their exploratory review, the authors highlight the beneficial effects of the combined use of AO and MI, with a particular focus on synchronous AO and MI. From a neurorehabilitation perspective, different processes may apply to patients, particularly after a stroke. As
