Remote data collection and cognitive task performance in the age of internet bad actors
Bad actors and bots present threats to data integrity in remote research designs, compromising estimates of cognitive task performance. Here, we share our experiences and recommendations for identifying and preventing bad actors and bots from enrolling in remote studies of cognitive task performance. As part of a large-scale study, 3,488 participants were recruited through various platforms, including social media and MTurk, and were compensated …
Observing the mind under psychedelics
This article presents the results of a Cognitive Linguistic analysis of metaphors used in a series of interviews by a single healthy volunteer following four moderate-to-high dosing sessions with psilocybin. The interviews were conducted by members of a human psychedelic research lab in a deep-sampling fMRI and EEG brain imaging study, allowing the participant to recount experiences under the effects of the compound. The goal of this case analysi…
Involuntary refreshing of mental representations
Laboratory tasks have revealed that mental representations (e.g., mental imagery) can enter consciousness in a manner that is involuntary, reliable, and insuppressible. These effects illuminate the capacities of involuntary processes as well as the function of voluntary, conscious processing. The Reflexive Imagery Task was developed a decade ago to investigate these involuntary effects systematically. Can refreshing yield such involuntary effects…
Growth mindset as a protective factor for middle schoolers at academic risk
Growth mindset has been shown to predict academic achievement in a variety of student populations, though the strength of the relationship can vary depending on the characteristics of the students examined. Using a large-scale sample of middle school students from a diverse district in the United States, we examine how multiple facets of students’ experiences and background characteristics may interact to impact the relation between mindset and a…
Linking inhibitory control to math achievement via comparison of conflicting decimal numbers
Involuntary attentional shifts as a function of set and processing fluency
Involuntary mental rotation and visuospatial imagery from external control
The Reflexive Imagery Task (RIT) was developed to investigate the entry into consciousness of involuntary imagery. Subjects are presented with objects and instructed to not think of the names of the objects. Involuntary subvocalizations arise on many trials. RIT effects reveal the capacities of involuntary processing. These cognitions do not require symbol manipulation. Can mental rotation and visuospatial imagery, too, arise in this involuntary …
Closed-loop digital meditation improves sustained attention in young adults
Externally controlled involuntary cognitions and their relations with other representations in consciousness
The distracted mind
Adam Gazzaley and Larry Rosen--a neuroscientist and a psychologist--explain why our brains aren't built for multitasking and suggest better ways to live in a high-tech world without giving up our modern technology. They explain that our brains are limited in their ability to pay attention. We don't really multitask but rather switch rapidly between tasks. Distractions and interruptions, often technology-related--referred to by the authors as inte…
