This work presents a new set of 360 high quality colour images belonging to 23 semantic subcategories. Two hundred and thirty-six Spanish speakers named the items also provided data from seven relevant psycholinguistic variables: age acquisition, familiarity, manipulability, name agreement, typicality visual complexity. Furthermore, we present lexical frequency derived Internet search hits. Apart number variables evaluated, knowing that it affects processing stimuli, this important...

Our main objective was to analyse the different contributions of relational verbal reasoning (analogical and class inclusion) executive functioning metaphor comprehension across development. We postulated that both should predict individual developmental differences. However, would become increasingly involved when is highly demanding, either because metaphors' high difficulty (relatively novel metaphors in absence a context) or individual's special processing difficulties, such as low...

Updating information in working memory (WM) is a critical executive function responsible both for continuously replacing outdated with new relevant data and to suppress or inhibit content that no longer according task demands. The goal of the present research twofold: First, we aimed study updating development 548 participants 4 different age ranges--7-, 11-, 15-year-olds young adults--using devised by R. De Beni P. Palladino (2004), which allows differentiating maintenance inhibition...

The current study presents ratings by 540 Spanish native speakers for dominance, familiarity, subjective age of acquisition (AoA), and sensory experience (SER) the 875 words included in Madrid Affective Database (MADS). norms can be downloaded as supplementary materials this manuscript from https://figshare.com/s/8e7b445b729527262c88 These may potential relevance to researches who are interested characterizing interplay between language emotion. Additionally, with aim investigating how...

Abstract The level of processing hypothesis (LoP) proposes that the transition from unaware to aware visual perception is graded for low-level (i.e., energy, features) stimulus whereas dichotomous high-level letters, words, meaning) stimulus. In this study, we explore behavioral patterns and neural correlates associated with different depths low vs. high) processing. condition consisted identifying color blue/blueish red/reddish) target, category (animal object). Behavioral results showed...

The dissociation between conscious and unconscious perception is one of the most relevant issues in study human cognition. While there evidence suggesting that some stimuli might be unconsciously processed up to its meaning (e.g., high-level stimulus processing), authors claim results on processing subliminal can explained by a mixture methodological artefacts questionable assumptions about what considered non-conscious. Particularly, controversial topics involves method which awareness...

The main purpose of this study was to examine the age-related changes in inhibitory control 450 children at ages 7–8, 11–12, and 14–16 when controlling for working memory capacity (WMC) processing speed determine whether inhibition is an independent factor far beyond its possible reliance on other two factors. This examination important several reasons. First, empirical evidence about controversial. Second, there are no studies that explore organization functions by influence WMC these age...

Algorithms are involved in decisions ranging from trivial to significant, but people often express distrust toward them. Research suggests that educational efforts explain how algorithms work may help mitigate this distrust. In a study of 1,921 participants 20 countries, we examined differences algorithmic trust for low-stakes and high-stakes decisions. Our results suggest statistical literacy is negatively associated with situations, while it positively scenarios high algorithm familiarity....

Exposure to natural environments has shown have a positive influence on executive mental functioning. In the present study, we investigated whether these nature-related cognitive benefits can extend visuospatial working memory (WM), function relatively underexplored this topic. Participants performed Change Localization task in three different experiments. On each trial, sample array containing four colored shapes was briefly presented (100 ms) and followed, after short delay (900 ms), by...

Abstract In recent years, assumptions about the existence of a single construct happiness that accounts for all positive emotions have been questioned. Instead, several discrete with their own neurobiological and psychological mechanisms proposed. Of note, effects on language processing are not yet properly understood. Here we provide database large set 9000 Spanish words scored by 3437 participants in awe, contentment, amusement, excitement, serenity, relief, pleasure. We also report...

The interactions between intrinsic grouping principles (by proximity or by similarity in shape luminance) and extrinsic common region were examined presenting both acting alone conjoined with another principle visual patterns. procedure used our study closely mirrored that of Quinlan Wilton (1998 Perception 27 417-430). However, the present experiment, involved had similar relative salience order to avoid their possible effects on interactions. results showed effect cooperating was greater...

The dissociation between conscious and unconscious perception is one of the most controversial issues in study consciousness. Some authors argue favor existence high-level processing, while others claim that results obtained can be explained by a mixture methodological erroneous (or at least questionable) assumptions about what considered non-conscious. Particularly, debated topics involves way which awareness stimuli assessed, with wide variety measures associated methods being proposed...
