Over the past two decades, hundreds of articles have investigated the mechanisms underlying the phenomenon that masked stimuli reduce people's response performance to subsequent compatible stimuli, for example, the negative compatibility ef...
The Shape of Blame: The Relationship Between Statistical Norms and Judgments of Blame and Praise [0.03%]
责罚的形状：统计规范与责罚判断之间的关系

Dries H Bostyn
For many types of behaviors, whether a specific instance of that behavior is blame- or praiseworthy depends on how much of the behavior is done or how people go about doing it. For instance, for a behavior such as "replying to an email in x...

What is the nature of semantic memory? Philosophers and cognitive scientists have long held that semantic memory stores invariant knowledge structures to be retrieved as such. In this paper, I argue that this conception of semantic memory i...
Do Humans Use Push-Down Stacks When Learning or Producing Center-Embedded Sequences? [0.03%]
人在学习或产生中心嵌入序列时会使用后进先出栈吗？

Complex sequences are ubiquitous in human mental life, structuring representations within many different cognitive domains-natural language, music, mathematics, and logic, to name a few. However, the representational and computational machi...

Recursive hierarchical embedding allows humans to generate multiple hierarchical levels using simple rules. We can acquire recursion from exposure to linguistic and visual examples, but only develop the ability to understand "multiple-level...

While much work has emphasized the role of the environment in language learning, research equally reports consistent effects of the child's knowledge, in particular, the words known to individual children, in steering further lexical develo...

Large language models (LLMs) can emulate many aspects of human cognition and have been heralded as a potential paradigm shift. They are proficient in chat-based conversation, but little is known about their ability to simulate spoken conver...
A Diachronic Investigation of the Change in Form and Formational-Semantic Systematicity of the Chinese Sign Language Lexicon [0.03%]
中国手语词形及构词规律的历史研究

It has been argued in previous research that several competing pressures guide the directions of language evolution (economy vs. redundancy; arbitrariness vs. systematicity). For sign languages, however, the effects of competing pressures o...

In addition to detecting "low-level" features like shape, color, and movement, the human visual system perceives certain "higher-level" properties of the environment, like cause-and-effect interactions. The strongest evidence that we have t...
