I see moving people
While biological motion processing has been extensively studied, little is known about the top-down impact of expectations in this context. We tested whether expectations about the likelihood of encountering a human walker influence the detection of biological motion in point-light displays, particularly when perceptual information is unreliable. Seventy-four participants completed a signal detection task, responding to stimuli featuring either a…
More gist, better math
Despite extensive research on the cognitive basis for mathematical activity, the associations between long-term memory and math skills remain relatively understudied. In our fuzzy-trace theory-driven study, we addressed this issue by investigating the relationships between long-term memory for numbers and prominent math skills, namely approximate number processing, arithmetic fluency, and math reasoning, along with math self-concept. Individuals …
Cognitive Artifacts in the Evolution of Cultural Systems of Beliefs and Practices
Some culturally significant material objects qualify as cognitive artifacts – objects supporting cognitive performance. While this simple point has already been recognized, the literature lacks a thorough investigation into the relation of cognitive artifacts to established theories of Cognitive and Evolutionary Sciences of Religion. We address this gap by examining the impact of cognitive artifacts on the content and spread of representations as…
Effects of expectations and sensory unreliability on voice detection – A preregistered study
Voice hearing is often found in healthy individuals and across religious traditions. • We investigated a mechanism of voice hearing grounded in predictive processing. • We found that response bias in detection of voices is driven by expectations. • The effect of expectations is stronger when sensory data is unreliable. • This predictive mechanism can underlie non-clinical voice hearing experiences. The phenomenon of “hearing voices” can be found …
Facing emotional vocalizations and instrumental sounds
Facial mimicry of visually observed emotional facial actions is a robust phenomenon. Here, we examined whether such facial mimicry extends to auditory emotional stimuli. We also examined if participants' facial responses differ to sounds that are more strongly associated with congruent facial movements, such as vocal emotional expressions (e.g., laughter, screams), or less associated with movements, such as nonvocal emotional sounds (e.g., happy,…
Waiting for a digital therapist
Growing demand for broadly accessible mental health care, together with the rapid development of new technologies, trigger discussions about the feasibility of psychotherapeutic interventions based on interactions with Conversational Artificial Intelligence (CAI). Many authors argue that while currently available CAI can be a useful supplement for human-delivered psychotherapy, it is not yet capable of delivering fully fledged psychotherapy on it…
No fingers, no SNARC? Neither the finger counting starting hand, nor its stability robustly affect the SNARC effect
The Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC) effect (i.e., faster left/right sided responses to small/large magnitude numbers, respectively) is considered to be strong evidence for the link between numbers and space. Studies have shown considerable variation in this effect. Among the factors determining individual differences in the SNARC effect is the hand an individual uses to start the finger counting sequence. Left-starters sho…
Explanations in cognitive science
Mechanisms in psychology
The focus of this special issue of Theory & Psychology is on explanatory mechanisms in psychology, especially on problems of particular prominence for psychological science such as theoretical integration and unification. Proponents of the framework of mechanistic explanation claim, in short, that satisfactory explanations in psychology and related fields are causal. They stress the importance of explaining phenomena by describing mechanisms that…
