Mental imagery in aesthetic appreciation and the understanding of the self and others
Mental imagery refers to the ability to generate images in the“mind’s eye” in the absence of external stimulation (i.e., quasi-percepts), which allows us to con ate past and current events with imaginary futures in the ongoing narratives of ourselves. As such, mental imagery is likely to be associated with prosociality, emotional self-awareness, and aesthetic experiences, but empirical evidence is still limited. Experiment 1 examined if differenc…
The effects of pets and human-pet interactions on humans’ romantic relationships and friendships
Pet ownership and interactions with pets might influence humans’ positive affect and interactions with other humans. Some evidence suggests that there is a positive link between pet ownership and humans’ romantic relationship and friendship quality, but there has been very limited research. This experiment investigated the immediate and subsequent effects of pet presence and interactions with pets on adults’ positive facial emotional display and …
Exploring the effect of cognitive load in scenarios of daily driving
Although driving to and from work is an unavoidable part of the working life of many people, little is known about the relationship between work-related and drive-related cognitive load in daily commuting. To explore those relationships, Study 1 examined the effect of a demanding driving period on the performance of a subsequent cognitive task (mimicking a home-to-work commuting scenario). That driving-related higher cognitive load than the contr…
Pet Ownership and Wellbeing During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The governmental restrictions in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic led to social isolation, with many people spending more time at home with their pets. The relationships between pet ownership, pet attachment, and wellbeing were examined using two online surveys: one in the early stages of the pandemic (May, 2020) and the other over one year later (September, 2021). Resilience, optimism, and basic psychological need satisfaction (i.e., au…
Situational factors shape moral judgements in the trolley dilemma in Eastern, Southern and Western countries in a culturally diverse sample
Neurocognitive and Evolutionary Perspective on Adaptive Imagination
Asma examines the links between adaptive imagination and mental imagery (e.g., aphantasics vs. phantasics) as well as self-perception (e.g., interoception), but only briefly. Such an endeavor involves a web of evolutionary processes that led to the development of complex, and often entangled, brain networks dedicated to the processing of contextualized information related to the self. Here, we provide further evidence that may enrich his mythopoe…
