Learnability and individual-society distinction
concepts are typically defined as those distinct from concrete concepts, characterized by less specific and tangible referents. This overly simplistic dichotomy fails to enhance a deeper understanding of the intrinsic nature of abstract concepts. According to multiple representation theory, experiences such as sensorimotor interactions, social context, language, and emotions form the foundation for understanding abstract concepts. Previous resear…
A neural basis for the metaphor congruency effect
Time-Varying Neural Oscillations Underlying the Foreign-Language Effect on Risk-Taking
Phytomedicine Fructus Aurantii-derived two absorbed compounds unlock antidepressant and prokinetic multi-functions via modulating 5-HT3/GHSR
Valence-differential mechanisms of the foreign language effect in decision-making under risk
A growing body of research has provided evidence for the foreign language effect on thinking, notably decision-making. Our prior work found reduction of recency effect following positive feedback in a foreign language as compared to the native tongue during even-probability gambling. However, the fundamental mechanisms underlying this effect remain unclear. The present study, therefore, aims to probe into this by engaging Chinese-English bilingua…
Language-emotion interaction modulates selective attention to a speaker’s eyes and mouth
Speech listeners focus on a speaker's face to acquire different information in social communication. Fixation on the mouth associates with language processing and attention to the eyes is mainly driven by social/emotional cues. Here, we investigated how selective attention to the eyes and mouth would vary with language-emotion interaction during speech processing when unbalanced Chinese-English bilinguals [Chinese, the first language (L1); Englis…
The foreign-language effect on self-positivity bias
Previous research has shown that using foreign languages reduces cognitive biases. Here, we investigate whether this foreign-language effect extends to self-related cognition – in particular, the self-positivity bias, which refers to automatic association of oneself with positive information and has a facilitation role in maintaining mental health. We applied event-related brain potentials and oscillations in the implicit association test where C…
Nonverbal cues of anxiety in English class presentation
Associations Between Parental Psychological Control and Covid-19 Pandemic-Related Negative Emotions
Studies focusing on risk factors for negative emotions related to the COVID-19 pandemic remain limited. We examined the underlying mechanism of resilience and emotion regulation on the association between parental psychological control and COVID-19 pandemic-related negative emotions. A total of 400 Chinese college students (207 males; Mage = 19.78 ± 1.72 years) completed a cross-sectional survey including Parental Psychological Control Scale, Pro…
More Exposure to Childhood Trauma Associates with Reduced Displeasure at Self-Referential Criticism
Anxiety- and Depression-Related Individual Differences in Affective and Cognitive Judgments of Self-Referential Praise and Criticism
Introduction: While praise is generally pleasant and criticism unpleasant, individual differences in response to social evaluations arise from distinct personal traits and states. Here, we investigate how processing of self-referential praise and criticism varies with personal attributes related to anxiety and depression, two highly prevalent and often chronic affective conditions. Methods: Ninety-three healthy participants first completed questi…
