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
Working memory exertion after simultaneous interpreting in bilinguals
Simultaneous interpreting (SI), a challenging task enabled by bilingualism, is claimed to distinctly tax working memory (WM). However, causal designs are missing, limiting our understanding of the phenomenon. We recruited 50 Chinese-English bilinguals and assessed their WM performance (alongside inhibitory and fluency outcomes) before and after L1–L2 SI or a control task (text comprehension). WM scores (especially under high-demand, multimodal co…
Time-Varying Neural Oscillations Underlying the Foreign-Language Effect on Risk-Taking
Bodily events in metaphorical embodiment of stress relief
Embodiment and gestural realization of ergative verbs
L2 writing teachers’ feedback practices for doctoral publishing
While feedback literate teachers play critical roles in enhancing feedback efficacy and students’ learning, there is a paucity of studies on writing teacher feedback literacy. To address this issue, this study draws from the notion of teacher feedback literacy to explore two second language (L2) writing teachers’ feedback practices in the context of L2 writing for doctoral publishing at a Chinese research-intensive university. The analysis of the…
Symphony with noises and keynotes
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…
Schematic Embodiment of Perseverance in Persian
The role of Mathematical Semiotic Signs in Enhancing Working Memory and Inhibition as the Components of Executive Functions
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…
How emotions are metaphorically embodied
This study measured hand and head action strengths of eight typical emotional states using an authentic but implicit emotion elicitation task. Participants listened to and then retold five stories in which eight typical emotional states were experienced by the narrators. The number of hand and head gestures that occur naturally while experiencing an emotional state was used as an index to determine the hand and head action strength of that emotio…
Gestural Simulation of Motion Verbs
We aimed to investigate how the path of a motion verb is mentally simulated and realized in gestures when it is encoded in path-joined motion verbs (e.g., “enter the house”), path-disjoined motion verbs (e.g., “go into the house”), and pathless motion verbs (e.g., “walk in the street”). We conducted 2 studies to answer this question. In Study 1, we analyzed gestures produced by presenters in a set of YouTube videos. We used several chi-square tes…
A structural model of job satisfaction among EMI teachers
As English gains prominence globally, the rise of English-medium instruction (EMI) education is particularly notable in Asian regions, especially mainland China. While policy decisions drive the adoption of EMI, its practical effectiveness hinges on various on-the-ground factors, with teacher satisfaction being of utmost importance. A teacher’s level of satisfaction can profoundly impact instructional quality, thereby affecting the successful imp…
The Roles of Gestural and Symbolic Schematizations in Inhibition as a Component of Executive Functions
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…
