The influence of repeating stimuli on task set inhibition following task execution and mere task preparation
In task switching, participants often switch between a limited number of stimuli, e.g., the digits 1-9 (except 5). Presenting stimuli repeatedly in different task contexts may induce interference due to different tasks (/cues) and responses becoming associated with the same stimulus. Here, we investigated whether inhibitory processes measured by n-2 repetition costs rely on such interference on the level of cue-stimulus-response associations, or …
Insights into the personality of 193 German elite youth football players and potential implications for the development of motor performance and injury risk
To our knowledge, this is the first study applying Cloninger's model in German elite youth football. These findings provide rare descriptive insights into adolescent athletes' personality profiles and suggest that personality may play a greater role in long-term development, resilience, and talent progression than in immediate physical performance
What we mean when we say semantic: Toward a multidisciplinary semantic glossary
Tulving characterized semantic memory as a vast repository of meaning that underlies language and many other cognitive processes. This perspective on lexical and conceptual knowledge galvanized a new era of research undertaken by numerous fields, each with their own idiosyncratic methods and terminology. For example, “concept” has different meanings in philosophy, linguistics, and psychology. As such, many fundamental constructs used to delineate…
Task set reconfiguration following masked and unmasked task cues
No evidence for task set reconfiguration following masked cues was observed. • Thus, inhibition did not affect unconsciously triggered task sets. • In contrast, executed as well as merely cued task sets were reconfigured. • ERPs revealed reconfiguration processes beyond behavior (n-2 repetition costs). Numerous previous studies have shown that masked stimuli trigger cognitive control processes, including the activation of task sets, and thereby a…
Inhibition of cued but not executed task sets depends on cue-task compatibility and practice
In task switching, processing a task cue is thought to activate the corresponding task representation (“task set”), thereby allowing for advance task preparation. However, the contribution of preparatory processes to the emergence of n−2 repetition costs as index of task set inhibition processes is debated. The present study investigated whether merely preparing for a task activates a corresponding task set, which needs to be inhibited in order t…
Conceptual representations in the default, control and attention networks are task-dependent and cross-modal
Conceptual knowledge is central to human cognition. Neuroimaging studies suggest that conceptual processing involves modality-specific and multimodal brain regions in a task-dependent fashion. However, it remains unclear (1) to what extent conceptual feature representations are also modulated by the task, (2) whether conceptual representations in multimodal regions are indeed cross-modal, and (3) how the conceptual system relates to the large-sca…
Association between parental separation, childhood trauma, neuroticism, and depression: A case control study
Parental separation might be associated with depression only indirectly via childhood trauma. Childhood trauma or Neuroticism seem more directly related to the development of depression. However, it is worthwhile to install prevention programs helping parents and children to cope with parental separation in order to minimize the impact of separation and associated stressors
Time course of brain activity during the processing of motor- and vision-related abstract concepts: Flexibility and task dependency
Grounded cognition theories assume that conceptual processing depends on modality-specific brain systems in a context-dependent fashion. Although the relation of abstract concepts to modality-specific systems is less obvious than for concrete concepts, recent behavioral and neuroimaging studies indicated a foundation of abstract concepts in vision and action. However, due to their poor temporal resolution, neuroimaging studies cannot determine wh…
Depression Is Associated With the Absence of Sex Differences in the 2D: 4D Ratio of the Right Hand
The 2D:4D digit ratio reflects prenatal testosterone relative to estradiol exposure of a developing embryo. Higher levels of prenatal testosterone have been related to lower 2D:4D ratios. In addition, higher 2D:4D ratios have been associated with female gender, neuroticism, and depression severity. Therefore, the present study investigated whether 2D:4D ratios differ between inpatients with major depression and matched healthy controls and whethe…
Common Factors of Psychotherapy in Inpatients With Major Depressive Disorder: A Pilot Study
Background: Psychotherapeutic interventions share common factors, which might contribute to treatment success independent of the type of psychotherapy. Previous research on common factors of psychotherapy was mostly conducted in outpatients and covered the development of common factors throughout a therapy over months or years. However, the role of common factors for the psychotherapeutic treatment success in inpatients during their hospital stay…
