The Role of Skills and Tasks in Gender Gaps in Latin America

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we explore gender gaps in the labor market in Latin America, incorporating two relevant factors often overlooked: skills and the type of tasks performed at work. The study is based on data from the 2018 Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) for four Latin American countries.

Beyond the Adult Mind: A Developmental Framework for Predictive Processing in Infancy

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Predictive Processing has been proposed as the single unifying computation underlying all of cognition, and proponents argue that all psychological phenomena can be explained as consequences of this principle. This theoretical framework has inspired many cognitive scientists and neuroscientists, but it currently has no developmental mechanism ...

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

Slime Molds in the Laboratory

The American Biology Teacher, 1982
The plasmodial slime molds, or Myxomycetes, are a small (about 450 known species), rather insignificant, but widely distributed group of organisms having characteristics of both plants and animals. They produce fruiting bodies and spores similar to those of many fungi.

An Expanded Model for Perceptual Norming: Insights From Japanese Ideophones

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Iconicity is inherently grounded in sensory experience, yet few studies investigate how sensory information is packaged in iconic words. We present perceptual strength ratings for Japanese ideophones, to ask how sensory information is encoded in this word class.

A Hierarchy of Crossmodal Odor Associations: Exploring the Role of Pleasantness and Edibility in Odor Crossmodal Associations Across the Senses

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Crossmodal associations with odors have the potential to aid in odor perception and language. In addition, identifying the dimensions that drive odor crossmodal associations may help understand the critical dimensions underlying odor perception more generally.

Presentation of preload and afterload to isolated heart preparations

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The heart can be isolated, and when this is so, it must be subjected to loading conditions. Over the past few decades, various loading methods have been developed to prescribe preload and afterload to isolated working‐heart preparations.
