Beyond the Lab: Cognitive Neuroscience in Real-World Contexts. [PDF]

open access: yesWiley Interdiscip Rev Cogn Sci
Cognitive neuroscience often assumes that using laboratory animals, model species, and digital simulations enables generalizations from lab to wild, from animals to humans, and from virtual to physical. We challenge these assumptions and call for refining ecological validity along three dimensions: subject phenotype, task naturalness, and environmental

On the Trail of Creativity: Dimensionality of Divergent Thinking and Its Relation With Cognitive Abilities, Personality, and Insight

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Personality, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Divergent thinking (DT) is an important constituent of creativity that captures aspects of fluency and originality. The literature lacks multivariate studies that report relationships between DT and its aspects with relevant covariates, such as cognitive abilities, personality traits (e.g. openness), and insight. In two multivariate studies (N

Immersive virtual reality assessments of working memory and psychomotor skills: A comparison between immersive and non-immersive assessments. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Neuropsychol
Abstract Objective Immersive virtual reality (VR) enhances ecological validity and facilitates intuitive and ergonomic hand interactions for performing neuropsychological assessments. However, its comparability to traditional computerized methods remains unclear. This study investigates the convergent validity, user experience and usability of VR‐based

Effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on non-veridical decision making [PDF]

open access: yesActa Neurobiologiae Experimentalis, 2016
We test the emerging hypothesis that prefrontal cortical mechanisms involved in non-veridical decision making do not overlap with those of veridical decision making. Healthy female subjects performed an experimental task assessing free choice, agent-centered decision making (The Cognitive Bias Task) and a veridical control task related to visuospatial ...

Non-veridical visual motion perception immediately after saccades

open access: yesVision Research, 2001
It is widely assumed that combining the eye movement vector with the motion vector of the retinal image is both sufficient and necessary for recovering the direction and speed of visual motion. Here, we report that execution of a saccadic (rapid) eye movement in the dark systematically biased subsequent perceptual judgment of the direction of visual ...

How non-veridical perception drives actions in healthy humans - Evidence from Synaesthesia [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018
AbstractWe continually perform actions driven by our perception and it is commonly held that only objectively perceived changes within the ‘real’ world affect behaviour. Exceptions are usually only made for clinical conditions associated with hallucinations, where objectively non-existent percepts can influence behavior.

Non-veridical size perception of expanding and contracting objects

open access: yesVision Research, 1999
Observers were presented with various types of stimulus expansion and contraction which resulted in marked misperceptions of size. Firstly, the perceived size of an object which is changing in size is shown to be biased in the direction of the size change. Secondly, expansion or contraction of the internal texture of objects is found to influence their

Any and its ‘free choice’

open access: yesKalbotyra
Since Ladusaw (1979) the term ‘free choice indefinite’ is the generally accepted term for the meaning of any in primarily modal and generic sentences, such as Any owl hunts mice, but not for what is generally called the ‘polarity-sensitive’ or ‘negative

The semantic contribution of the past tense morpheme kaan in Palestinian counterfactuals

open access: yesJournal of Portuguese Linguistics, 2013
Reasoning along the lines of Iatridou (2000), we argue in this paper that the Palestinian morpheme kaan that is normally used to express semantic past tense actually denotes Non-Actual Veridicality, i.e.

Figure dell’ascesi e dell’ascesa: l’esplorazione polare da Verne ad Amundsen

open access: yesBetween, 2011
What we know of polar expeditions coincides with a number of fictional and non fictional representations using different registers: the iconic-technical-scientific, the auto/biographical, the literary/fictional.
