  • The Effects of Local and Global Key Consistency on Musical Tension

    Siqi You, Lijun Sun et al.ARTICLEMusic Perception An Interdisciplina…2025

    Tonal music perception relies on hierarchical tension and relaxation, which is linked to predictive processes. However, the relationship between local and global processing in shaping tension is not fully understood. Our EEG and behavioral study manipulated musical congruence at local and global levels, revealing that local processing effects could be influenced by global factors. We found that when both local and global congruence were violated,…

  • The effect of congruent emotional context on semantic memory during discourse comprehension

    Qian Zhang, Lin Li et al.ARTICLECognition & Emotion2025References: 108

    This study examined the effect of emotional context on the semantic memory of subsequent emotional words during discourse comprehension in two eye-tracking experiments. Four-sentence discourses were used as experimental materials. The first three sentences established an emotional or neutral context, while the fourth contained an emotional target word consistent with the preceding emotional context's valence. The discourses were presented twice u…

  • Conventionality determines the time course of indirect replies comprehension

    Open AccessXiuping Zhang, Nary Purwoko et al.ARTICLEBrain and Language2023

    Indirect language comprehension requires decoding both the literal meaning and the intended meaning of an utterance, in which pragmatic inference is involved. This study tests the role of conventionality in the time course of indirect reply processing by comparing conventional and non-conventional indirect replies with direct reply, respectively. We constructed discourses which consist of a context and a dialogue with one question (e.g., May I bu…

  • Music-induced emotions influence intertemporal decision making

    Open AccessLinshu Zhou, Yufang Yang et al.ARTICLECognition & Emotion2022

    Tempo and mode were then manipulated to disentangle the effects of arousal and mood on intertemporal choices. Only tempo-induced arousal, but not mode-induced mood, affected intertemporal choices. These results suggest the role of arousal in intertemporal decision making and provide evidence in support of equate-to-differentiate theory with regard to the non-compensatory mechanism in intertemporal choices

  • Brief Report

    Open AccessXueyun Su, Ru Ying Cai et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

    The COVID-19 pandemic has a multifaceted impact on mental health due to ill health, restrictions and lockdowns, and loss of employment and institutional support. COVID-19 may disproportionally impact families with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) due to the already higher prevalence of mental health conditions in children with SEND and their parents. Therefore, it is essential to determine the short-term impact of the pandemic on…

  • The cognitive processing of contrastive focus and its relationship with pitch accent

    Weijun Li, Jingjing Zhang et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica Sinica2017

    摘要: 信息结构作为语言学的一个重要概念, 在语言学、心理学和神经科学等领域进行了广泛的研究。其中, 从焦点和背景这一维度对信息结构的研究最多。通常情况下, 人们会重读焦点信息。本研究使用ERP技术, 通过对话语篇考察了不同位置对比焦点和重读的一致性对口语语篇理解的影响。研究发现, 对比焦点不受位置影响, 稳定诱发中后部分布正波, 且小句末尾焦点诱发的正效应早于小句内部。此外, 重读相对于不重读在小句内部和末尾都诱发了正效应, 并且出现在较晚的时间窗口。尽管焦点不重读相对于一致性重读没有诱发任何脑电效应, 但背景重读相对背景不重读在小句末尾诱发了一个早期负效应。本研究表明, 听者按照不同的方式、即时使用不同位置的对比焦点和重读信息建构语篇表征

    BACKGROUND: , and the combination therapy of the ULL aqueous extract with cefazolin sodium showed additive effect. MATERIALS AND METHODS: , the levels of interleukin (IL) -6 and IL-10 of mice lung tissue were detected, and the pathological changes of lung tissue were examined using H & E staining. RESULTS: colony count/lung weight when compared with cefazolin. Furthermore, ULL and ULL+cefazolin both could significantly decrease the serum levels o…

  • Neurophysiological Mechanism of Implicit Processing of Vocal Emotion Transition

    Xuhai Chen, Xiaohong Yang et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica Sinica2013

    摘要: 人类迅速高效识别语音情绪变化的神经生理机制仍是一个未解之谜。本研究试图通过对被试内隐加工语音情绪变化的即时脑电数据做时域和频域分析, 揭示语音情绪变化加工的神经生理机制。结果发现语音情绪变化诱发N2/P3复合成分, theta频段能量增加和试次间相位相干系数(ITC)增大, beta频段能量降低和ITC增大。这些神经生理指标受情绪变化模式的调节, 情绪变化越激烈, 诱发N2/P3复合成分的潜伏期越早, theta能量和相位变化更强烈。这些结果说明语音情绪变化加工是一个变化检测与整合的过程, 该过程主要由theta和beta频段能量和试次间相位的变化来实现

  • Grammatical Planning Scope in Sentence Production

    Liming Zhao, Yufang YangARTICLEActa Psychologica Sinica2013

    摘要: 语法编码的计划单元作为口语句子产生领域的一个重要命题, 近年来备受心理语言学者的关注。本研究利用词图干扰范式下的语义效应, 通过两个行为实验探讨了汉语口语句子产生中的语法编码计划单元。实验中要求被试用介词短语做主语的句子或者并列名词短语做主语的句子来命名两个竖直排列的图片, 并视觉呈现干扰词。结果表明, 对于两个句式而言, 在第二个名词上都没有潜伏期的语义干扰效应, 只有错误率上的语义干扰效应, 而且这个结果并没有随着SOA (目标图片和干扰词开始呈现的时间间隔)的改变(0、150或300 ms)而改变。当干扰词与图片同时呈现时(SOA=0)在并列名词短语做主语的句子中, 第二个名词上出现了潜伏期的语义促进效应。这些结果说明, 语法编码的说法较为宽泛, 应具体描述为:词汇选择是严格递进的, 而概念激活的计划单元可能是功能短语

  • The Cognitive Processing of Prosodic Boundary and Its Related Brain Effect in Quatrain

    Wei-Jun LI, Yu-Fang Yang et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica Sinica2011

    摘要: 语言理解过程中, 句子内部的韵律短语边界会诱发反映韵律短语终止的特异性脑电成分终止正漂移 (CPS, closure positive shift), 而句末语调短语边界则会诱发反映句法终止和完整语言单元结束的脑电效应P3。研究采用汉语特有的语篇绝句, 考察了听者加工绝句中各句末语调短语边界的认知过程及其诱发的脑电效应。结果发现五言绝句内部各语调短语边界分别诱发了时间进程、头皮分布和波幅均相同的CPS, 表明语篇内部韵律边界加工不受其所处语篇位置的影响; 五言和七言绝句末的韵律边界则分别诱发了一个P3, 并且前者诱发的P3波幅小于后者, 而二者在时间进程和头皮分布上不存在差异。本研究表明, 句末语调短语边界诱发何种脑电效应与其承担的功能有关, 既表示前面信息终止又预期后面信息出现的句末边界会诱发CPS, 而只表示信息终止的句末边界则会诱发P3

  • The Influence of Working Memory Span on the Accentuation Effects in Discourse Comprehension

    Xuan Zhang, Yu-Fang Yang et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica Sinica2010

    摘要: 本文探索了工作记忆容量对语篇理解中重读效应的影响。采用阅读广度测验对工作记忆容量进行测量, 筛选出高、低广度两组被试。并采用听觉动窗实验范式, 比较两组被试在语篇理解中即时加工时间的差异。研究结果表明, 重读效应受到工作记忆广度的显著影响。对于低工作记忆广度被试, 一致性重读促进语篇理解, 不一致性重读阻碍语篇理解; 但对于高工作记忆广度被试, 一致性重读的促进效应和不一致性重读的阻碍效应都不显著。另外, 只有在不一致性重读条件下, 低广度者语篇理解的即时加工时间显著多于高广度者, 而在一致性重读和无重读条件下则没有显著差异。最后用工作记忆的控制性注意理论对研究结果进行了讨论

  • Independent Effects of Orthographic and Phonological Facilitation on Spoken Word Production in Mandarin

    Open AccessQingfang Zhang, Qingfang Zhang Qingfang Zhang et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2009Cited by: 1References: 24

    A picture—word interference paradigm with visually presented distractors was used to investigate the independent effects of orthographic and phonological facilitation on Mandarin monosyllabic word production. Both the stimulus-onset asynchrony (SOA) and the picture—word relationship along different lexical dimensions were varied. We observed a pure orthographic facilitation effect and a pure phonological facilitation effect, and found that the pa…

  • Horizontal Flow of Semantic and Phonological Information in Chinese Spoken Sentence Production

    Open AccessJin-Chen Yang, Yu-Fang Yang et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2008References: 22

    A variant of the picture—word interference paradigm was used in three experiments to investigate the horizontal information flow of semantic and phonological information between nouns in spoken Mandarin Chinese sentences. Experiment 1 demonstrated that there is a semantic interference effect when the word in the second phrase (N3) and the first noun in the initial phrase (N1) are semantically related, while there is no effect when N3 and the seco…
