Independent Effects of Age, Education, Verbal Working Memory, Motor Speed of Processing, Locality, and Morphosyntactic Category on Verb‐Related Morphosyntactic Production: Evidence From Healthy Aging

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the role of locality (a task/material‐related variable), demographic factors (age, education, and sex), cognitive capacities (verbal working memory [WM], verbal short‐term memory [STM], speed of processing [SOP], and inhibition), and morphosyntactic category (time reference and grammatical aspect) in verb‐related ...

Preschoolers’ Sensitivity to Abstract Relations Among Sets

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract In two studies, we test preschoolers’ ability to compare abstract relationships across sets. In Experiments 1a−1d, we show that both older (4‐ and 5‐year‐olds) and younger (3‐year‐olds) preschoolers successfully match both monotonic and symmetric relationships in visual patterns and succeed both in direct relational matches and inverted ones ...

Words and Scents: How Language Shapes and Skews Olfactory Processing

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Research on language and olfaction presents a paradox. Language appears to support the formation of odor categories, yet it can also hinder odor recognition through verbal interference, highlighting that different olfactory processes get affected in distinct ways.

An Introduction to Rational Constructivism in Cognitive Development

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Rational constructivism is a contemporary theory of cognitive development. It proposes that children generate, tweak, and radically revise theories, beliefs, and representations by integrating evidence with existing knowledge via probabilistic inferential learning mechanisms.
