Assessing the paradox between development and preservation: A study on the coupling and coordination degree of morphology, function, and behavior in historic districts
The paradox between historic preservation and urban development poses a significant challenge to the sustainable revitalization of historic districts. This study proposes a quantitative and spatially explicit framework that combines diachronic analysis of historic street morphology with a coupling coordination degree (CCD) model, Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) and GeoDetector. Using Old Chengnan in Nanjing as a case, we trac…
Effects of virtual reality learning contexts on foreign language word production: Behavioral and EEG evidence
摘要: 虚拟现实(virtual reality, VR)等人工智能技术的快速发展为促进外语词汇习得提供了新方法, 但目前尚未有研究考察VR学习环境如何影响外语词汇产出。本研究结合VR技术与脑电实验, 以传统图词环境为参照, 系统考察VR环境对外语词汇产出的影响及其背后的神经机制。行为结果发现, 在即时测试阶段, VR环境所学词汇的产出正确率高于图词环境, 但两者在延迟阶段没有差异。即时测试阶段的脑电结果发现, 相较图词环境, VR环境诱发更小的P200和LPC成分, 且脑电时频分析发现VR环境下出现更明显的m波抑制现象, 并伴随着q波能量减弱。研究结果综合表明, 与图词环境相比, VR环境利用感知觉-运动模拟提高词汇的具象化程度, 进而促进词汇检索与产出, 为具身认知理论提供实证支持
The stability and instability of the language control network: A longitudinal resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study
This study investigates the stability and instability of the language control network in bilinguals using longitudinal resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data. We compared the language control network of Chinese university students majoring in English with those not, using three other functional networks as controls. Results indicate that the English major group exhibits reduced stability and increased instability in th…
The effect of L2 proficiency on L1 and L2 embodied effects in a bilingual context
Studies on bilingual individuals indicate that both first-language (L1) and second-language (L2) processing recruit linguistic and simulation systems, with L1 processing typically showing greater activation of simulation systems (often referred to as preference systems) and L2 processing relying more heavily on linguistic systems. When bilingual speakers switch between languages, the language used initially may influence the activation of prefere…

Development of a questionnaire to better understand verbal violence among college students: Preliminary results from a cluster random sample
This study developed the College Student Verbal Violence Questionnaire and conducted a questionnaire survey using this instrument to comprehensively understand verbal violence among college students. A cross-sectional design was adopted to conduct a collective survey on three samples through Wenjuanxing (an online survey platform). We selected four higher vocational colleges in Guangzhou, China, for the sampling population. A cluster random sampl…
Cross-language activation and semantic judgements of translation ambiguous words among Chinese–English bilinguals
Aims and Objectives: Translation ambiguous words are lexical items with one-to-many equivalents in another language. Some of these equivalents are more dominant (i.e., more frequently used) than others. The aim of the present study is to explore non-target language activation of translation ambiguous words among Chinese–English bilinguals. Methodology: The implicit priming paradigm was used in three experiments to explore the activation of primar…
The role of prosodic sensitivity and executive functions in L2 reading: The moderated mediation effect
Prosody refers to stress and intonation patterns in a language. Previous studies have found that prosodic sensitivity (PS) and executive functions can affect reading comprehension in first (L1) and second languages (L2). The current study examined these factors among a group of L1 Mandarin speakers learning L2 English who participated in a series of tasks measuring phonological awareness, Mandarin tone sensitivity, English PS, along with three sp…
Episodic simulation in immoral behavior: Inflation or inhibition
Although extensive research has examined immoral behavior, little is known about how the role of episodic simulation plays on immoral behavior. Two experiments adopted the text priming paradigm to verify two opposing theories-the imagination inflation hypothesis and the imagination inhibition hypothesis. To be specific, this study investigated whether episodic simulation increases or decreases participants' general willingness to immoral behavior…
How pitch gestures facilitate L2 lexical tone learning: The role of L1–L2 perceptual assimilation in Mandarin speakers’ acquisition of Thai tones
Modality-general and modality-specific bilingual control mechanisms in spoken and written productions
Do bilinguals have similar bilingual control mechanisms in speaking and writing? The present study investigated the patterns of switch costs (reflecting reactive language control) and mixing costs (reflecting proactive language control) between Chinese (L1) and English (L2) in spoken and written productions and whether these patterns could be modulated by response-stimulus intervals (RSIs). In two experiments, unbalanced Chinese–English bilingual…
The impact of lack of parental career engagement on students’ career adapting behavior: A moderated mediation model
Perceptions of social class through Chinese speech cues
Speech is a complex auditory signal that contains multiple layers of linguistic and non-linguistic structure, it contains both linguistic and social class information. Perceivers are exquisitely sensitive to this layered structure and extract not only linguistic properties, but also indexical characteristics that provide information about individual talkers and groups of talkers. Social class information involves inferring the speaker's social cl…
The partially overlapping nature of inhibitory control and preparatory control during language and task switching
The relationship between language switching and task switching has been well studied in bilingualism literature. This study employs novel experiments involving magnitude-parity switching and transparency-orientation switching and compares the costs associated with these two types of task switching with language switching. Switching costs and the reduction in switching costs (RISC) effect were used as indices of inhibitory control and preparatory …
The power of role models: Influence on undergraduates' sense of purpose
We constructed a moderated mediation model to examine the mediating effect of social identification between the psychological distance of the role model and students' sense of purpose and the moderating effect of students' social comparison orientation on the relationship between psychological distance of the role model and students' social identification, which subsequently affects their sense of purpose. Participants were 518 Chinese undergradu…
How Different Types of Linguistic Information Impact Voice Perception: Evidence From the Language-Familiarity Effect
Previous studies have suggested the effect of linguistic information on voice perception (e.g., the language-familiarity effect [LFE]). However, it remains unclear which type of specific information in speech contributes to voice perception, including acoustic, phonological, lexical, and semantic information. It is also underexamined whether the roles of these different types of information are modulated by the experimental paradigm (speaker disc…

Cross-dimensional magnitude interaction is modulated by representational noise: Evidence from space–time interaction
Cross-dimensional magnitude interactions reflect statistical correlations among physical dimensions: Evidence from space-time interaction
Magnitudes of different physical dimensions have been assumed to be processed by a common metric in order to account for interactions between different dimensions (e.g., space, time). This paper tested a different hypothesis, that these cross-dimensional interactions reflect people's experience of statistical correlations among physical dimensions. In the experiment, we manipulated the correlation between space (length) and time (duration). A sti…
Bi-directional cross-language activation in Chinese Sign Language (CSL)-Chinese bimodal bilinguals
In bilingual word recognition, cross-language activation has been found in unimodal bilinguals (e.g., Chinese-English bilinguals) and bimodal bilinguals (e.g., American Sign language-English bilinguals). However, it remains unclear how signs' phonological parameters, spoken words' orthographic and phonological representation, and language proficiency affect cross-language activation in bimodal bilinguals. To resolve the issues, we recruited deaf …
The influence of language and context on sensorimotor simulation of concrete concepts
How concepts are represented in the brain is an important topic in cognitive science. There are two different theories on this research question, i.e., propositional symbol theory and perceptual symbol theory. The difference between these two theories is how to treat the relationship between the internal symbol and the external archetype. The propositional symbol theory holds that the relationship between the two is arbitrary. Perceptual informat…
The Effect of Mother Phubbing on Young Children’s Emotional and Behavioral Problems: A Moderated Mediation Model of Mother–Child Attachment and Parenting Stress
Phubbing-the act of ignoring someone physically present in favor of a mobile phone-is increasingly prevalent in families, and mothers' phubbing behaviors may have a particularly important effect on young children's development. Accordingly, this study explores the mediating role of mother-child attachment in the relationship between mother phubbing and children's emotional and behavioral problems, as well as the role of maternal parenting stress …
Chinese Children with Congenital and Acquired Blindness Represent Concrete Concepts in Vertical Space through Tactile Perception
Many studies have tested perceptual symbols in conceptual processing and found that perceptual symbols contain experiences from multisensory channels. However, whether the disability of one sensory channel affects the processing of the perceptual symbols and then affects conceptual processing is still unknown. This line of research would extend the perceptual symbol theory and have implications for language rehabilitation and mental health for pe…
An Asymmetric Effect: Physical and Simulated Confederate’s Mere Presence Induce a Preference for Deontological Over Utilitarian Judgment
People may behave differently in a shared physical context due to the mere presence of others. The study examined whether individual moral judgments were subject to the confederate's presence. Experiment 1 supported the hypothesis that the confederate's presence, relative to the control group, increased deontological judgment, disapproving of sacrificing a person's lifetime or interest for preserving the greater good of others. Experiment 2 inves…

Application of the Chinese Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist to Adolescent Earthquake Survivors in China
We investigated the incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder among 2,448 middle-school students in Sichuan Province, China, soon after the Wenchuan earthquake occurred on May 12, 2008. We also tested the reliability and validity of a Chinese version of the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist – Civilian Version (Weathers, Litz, Huska, & Keane, 1994) with this group. PTSD occurred more frequently among females compared with males, and among t…
Non-Target Language Processing in Chinese-English Bilinguals: A Study of Event-Related Potential
The event-related brain potential (ERP) technique was used to investigate the neural mechanism of non-target language processing in Chinese-English bilinguals. Participants were presented with a mixed list of Chinese and English words and required to make conceptual decisions for words in one language and ignore words in the other non-target language. Regardless of whether the nontarget word was in Chinese or English, the ERPs they elicited were …
The Bi-processing Theory of Text Comprehension and Experimental Evidences: The Bi-processing Theory of Text Comprehension and Experimental Evidences
摘要: 文本阅读信息加工过程研究一直是国内外心理学界高度重视和关注的领域, 形成了建构主义理论、最低限度假设理论和记忆基础文本加工理论等派别百家争鸣的局面。这些理论争议的焦点在于自然阅读是主动的、积极的、目标策略驱动的过程, 还是被动的、消极的、自动的过程。在全面总结国内外心理学界有关文本阅读的研究成果的基础上, 文本阅读双加工理论提出并对文本阅读的主要争议进行了整合。该理论的核心观点是文本的自然阅读过程是连贯阅读与焦点阅读的双加工过程。文本阅读中读者所阅读的材料特点不同, 引发的阅读信息加工活动也不同, 而不同性质的阅读过程, 又会引发不同的推理整合, 从而会建构不同类型的文本表征。文本阅读双加工理论已经形成了比较完整的理论框架, 并获得了很多实验证据的支持。当然, 文本阅读双加工理论作为一个新的理论, 其中的有些观点还需要进一步检验。在未来的文本阅读研究领域, 有很多问题还需要研究者进一步关注
Cross-Language Competition in Language Production of Chinese-as-A-Second-Language Learners: Cross-Language Competition in Language Production of Chinese-as-A-Second-Language Learners
摘要: 采用跨语言长时竞争启动范式探讨汉语为二语学习者言语产生中的跨语言干扰。实验1的被试选择18名俄语为母语者, 实验2选择18名日语为母语者。自变量是命名语言(一语和二语)和学习条件(学过一致、学过不一致和未学过), 因变量是测验阶段被试图片命名的反应时和正确率。实验分为学习阶段和测验阶段, 被试分别用一语和二语命名图片, 观察被试在测验阶段学过一致与学过不一致两种条件下是否都能产生促进效应。实验结果发现, 无论俄语为母语者还是日语为母语者, 被试只有在学过一致条件下的反应时显著快于未学过条件, 而学过不一致条件下的反应时跟未学过没有显著差异。本研究结果表明, 汉语为二语学习者言语产生中存在跨语言干扰, 且语言间书写特征的差异对跨语言干扰没有影响

Association Between Cerebral Microbleeds and Depression in the General Elderly Population: A Meta-Analysis
Our meta-analysis of available published data indicated an increased prevalence of depression in the subjects with pre-existing CMBs. This finding supports the vascular depression hypothesis. Further studies are needed to investigate the role of CMBs in the pathogenesis and progression of depression, which might provide a potential target for the prevention and treatment
Working memory demand of a task modulates bilingual advantage in executive functions
Aims: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of task demand in working memory on bilingual cognitive advantage (interference suppression and response inhibition) in young bilinguals. Methodology: Experiment 1 was performed with the flanker, Go/No-go, and modified flanker tasks, in which the first two tasks were involved in lower storage demand of working memory and the last task was involved in higher storage demand of working memory. …

Schematic Diagrams in Second Language Learning of English Prepositions: A Behavioral and Event-Related Potential Study
In the current study of applied cognitive linguistics (CL), schematic diagrams that represent generalizations of physical-spatial experience were applied in a computer-based tutor that trained English prepositions for second language (L2) learners. Behavioral and electrophysiological (ERP) measures were used to examine whether schematic-diagram feedback provided by the tutor had an instructional advantage over the minimally informed correctness f…
Symmetries of comprehension-based language switch costs in conflicting versus non-conflicting contexts
Aims: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of contexts (i.e., non-conflicting context versus conflicting context) on bilingual language switch costs during language comprehension. Methodology: Thirty-two unbalance Chinese-English bilinguals completed a modified comprehension-based language-switching task in two contexts. They made a judgement about the colour meaning of the word. In the non-conflicting context all words were presente…

Structural brain changes with second language learning: A longitudinal voxel-based morphometry study
The underlying mechanisms that adapt with L2 learning are still poorly understood. The present longitudinal study examined the effects of L2 learning on grey matter structure of Chinese college freshmen majoring in English. Participants were scanned twice, one year apart. Our voxel-based morphometry analyses revealed that gray matter volume (GMV) decreased in the left anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and right inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) after L2…
An examination of prosody and second language sentence processing through pause insertion
Objectives: Research on second language (L2) sentence comprehension often has examined reliance on semantic and syntactic information but has left aside for the most part the role of prosodic cues. In the present study, we compare less- and more-proficient L2 learners’ integration of prosody and syntax structure during auditory L2 sentence comprehension. Design: Two group Chinese learners of L2 English learners (A2 and C1 levels) participated in …
