Task-relevant actions can facilitate mathematical thinking, even for complex topics, such as mathematical proof. We investigated whether such cognitive benefits also occur for action predictions. The action-cognition transduction (ACT) mode...
How to Live in the Moment: The Methodology and Limitations of Evolutionary Research on Consciousness [0.03%]
如何活在当下:关于意识的进化研究的方法与局限性
Christian R de Weerd,Leonard Dung
Christian R de Weerd
There is much interest in investigating the evolution question: How did consciousness evolve? In this paper, we evaluate the role that evolutionary considerations can play in justifying (i.e., confirming or falsifying) hypotheses about the ...
Semantic and Phonological Prediction in Language Comprehension: Pretarget Attraction Toward Semantic and Phonological Competitors in a Mouse Tracking Task [0.03%]
语言理解中的语义和语音预测:鼠标追踪任务中目标前对语义和语音竞争者的吸引效应

Recent evidence increasingly suggests that comprehenders are capable of generating probabilistic predictions about forthcoming linguistic inputs during language comprehension. However, it remains debated whether language comprehenders predi...

Recent experimental work offers evidence that infants become aware of suffixes at a remarkably early age, as early as 6 months for the English suffix -s. Here, we seek to understand this ability though the strategy of computational modeling...
Conceptual Combination in Large Language Models: Uncovering Implicit Relational Interpretations in Compound Words With Contextualized Word Embeddings [0.03%]
大型语言模型中的概念组合:使用语境词嵌入揭示复合词中隐含的关系解释
Marco Ciapparelli,Calogero Zarbo,Marco Marelli
Marco Ciapparelli
Large language models (LLMs) have been proposed as candidate models of human semantics, and as such, they must be able to account for conceptual combination. This work explores the ability of two LLMs, namely, BERT-base and Llama-2-13b, to ...
Opening Social Interactions: The Coordination of Approach, Gaze, Speech, and Handshakes During Greetings [0.03%]
开放社交互动:问候时接近、凝视、说话和握手的配合

Ottilie Tilston
Despite the importance of greetings for opening social interactions, their multimodal coordination processes remain poorly understood. We used a naturalistic, lab-based setup where pairs of unacquainted participants approached and greeted e...
Negation in First Language Acquisition: Universal or Language-Specific? [0.03%]
第一语言习得中的否定:普遍现象还是语言特有?
Sakine Çabuk-Ballı,Jekaterina Mazara,Aylin C Küntay et al.
Sakine Çabuk-Ballı et al.
Negation is a cornerstone of human language and one of the few universals found in all languages. Without negation, neither categorization nor efficient communication would be possible. Languages, however, differ remarkably in how they expr...
Gesture Reduces Mapping Difficulties in the Development of Spatial Language Depending on the Complexity of Spatial Relations [0.03%]
手势在空间语言发展中降低映射难度取决于空间关系的复杂性
Ercenur Ünal,Kevser Kırbaşoğlu,Dilay Z Karadöller et al.
Ercenur Ünal et al.
In spoken languages, children acquire locative terms in a cross-linguistically stable order. Terms similar in meaning to in and on emerge earlier than those similar to front and behind, followed by left and right. This order has been attrib...
Dynamicity Predicts Inferred Temporal Order in Complex Sentences: Evidence from English, German, and Polish [0.03%]
动态性预测复杂句子中的推断时间顺序:来自英语,德语和波兰语的证据
Elena Marx,Oliwia Iwan,Eva Wittenberg
Elena Marx
To build an accurate mental model of complex situations, people infer temporal order from sometimes underspecified linguistic information. The basis on which these inferences are drawn is an open question. While previous literature has focu...
Size-Sound Iconicity in English-Like Pseudowords Influences Referent Labeling and Prosody [0.03%]
类似英语的伪词的大小-声音通约性影响指称和语调
Leonardo Michelini,Lynne C Nygaard
Leonardo Michelini
Speech sounds can communicate perceptual information through iconicity, or shared resemblance between sound and meaning. Prosody, which encompasses vocal characteristics such as pitch and intensity, can similarly be recruited to communicate...
