Schultz, Heidrun; Yoo, Jungsun; Meshi, Dar; Heekeren, Hauke R. – Learning & Memory, 2022
The medial temporal lobe (MTL), including the hippocampus (HC), perirhinal cortex (PRC), and parahippocampal cortex (PHC), is central to memory formation. Reward enhances memory through interplay between the HC and substantia nigra/ventral tegmental area (SNVTA). While the SNVTA also innervates the MTL cortex and amygdala (AMY), their role in…

Beamish, Sarah B.; Gross, Kellie S.; Anderson, McKenna M.; Helmstetter, Fred J.; Frick, Karyn M. – Learning & Memory, 2022
The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is a primary mechanism through which proteins are degraded in cells. UPS activity in the dorsal hippocampus (DH) is necessary for multiple types of memory, including object memory, in male rodents. However, sex differences in DH UPS activation after fear conditioning suggest that other forms of learning may…

Suhail Matar – ProQuest LLC, 2022
During language comprehension, the brain typically converts a stream of sensory input into meaningful mental representations. But not all of the information the brain needs or uses is physically available in the language signal it encounters: the brain often anticipates and processes some information before it becomes available, and it often also…

Borja Blanco; Monika Molnar; Irene Arrieta; César Caballero-Gaudes; Manuel Carreiras – Developmental Science, 2025
Language learning is influenced by both neural development and environmental experiences. This work investigates the influence of early bilingual experience on the neural mechanisms underlying speech processing in 4-month-old infants. We study how an early environmental factor such as bilingualism interacts with neural development by comparing…

Chi-Chuan Chen; Ilaria Berteletti; Daniel C. Hyde – Developmental Science, 2024
Symbolic numeracy first emerges as children learn the meanings of number words and how to use them to precisely count sets of objects. This development starts before children enter school and forms a foundation for lifelong mathematics achievement. Despite its importance, exactly how children acquire this basic knowledge is unclear. Here we test…

Tzu-Yun Tung – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Successful language comprehension requires the rapid deployment of working memory resources alongside the capacity to predict upcoming linguistic input. While previous research views these as competing factors, this dissertation explores a unified theory of processing complexity and evaluates the interaction between memory and prediction. The…

Julian Rudisch; Luis K. H. Holzhauer; Karmen Kravanja; Fred H. Hamker; Claudia Voelcker-Rehage – npj Science of Learning, 2024
Observational practice is discussed as a substitute for physical practice for motor learning and adaptation. We systematically reviewed the literature on observational practice in reaching and aiming tasks. Our objectives were to identify (i) performance differences between observational and physical practice; (ii) factors that contribute to…

Yuanjing Lyu; Shuoqi Xiang; Zexuan Jiang; Huizhi Bai; Junjie Huang; Weixing Yang; Xing Wang; Senqing Qi; Weiping Hu – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2024
Novelty seeking has been found to affect creative performance, but its impact on the temporal dynamics of creative information processing remains unclear. Creative information is identified by two key indicators--novelty and appropriateness. To explore the effect of novelty seeking on the temporal processing of novelty and appropriateness, a…

Green, Heather L.; Shen, Guannan; Franzen, Rose E.; Mcnamee, Marybeth; Berman, Jeffrey I.; Mowad, Theresa G.; Ku, Matthew; Bloy, Luke; Liu, Song; Chen, Yu-Han; Airey, Megan; McBride, Emma; Goldin, Sophia; Dipiero, Marissa A.; Blaskey, Lisa; Kuschner, Emily S.; Kim, Mina; Konka, Kimberly; Roberts, Timothy P. L.; Edgar, J. Christopher – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Maturation of auditory cortex neural encoding processes was assessed in children with typical development (TD) and autism. Children 6-9 years old were enrolled at Time 1 (T1), with follow-up data obtained ~ 18 months later at Time 2 (T2), and ~ 36 months later at Time 3 (T3). Findings suggested an initial period of rapid auditory cortex maturation…

Sumardani, Dadan; Lin, Chih-Hung – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Virtual Reality (VR) has gained popularity in educational fields enabling new learning possibilities. In the implementation process, VR could improve learning by increasing positive affective and cognitive processing, whereas VR also could hurt learning by increasing distraction and leading to poorer learning outcomes. Thus, understanding the…

Yixuan Song; Jiexin Gu; Siqi Song; Xiuwei Quan – Annals of Dyslexia, 2025
In the realm of logographic writing systems, such as Chinese characters, orthographic transparency fundamentally differs from alphabetic languages, posing unique challenges for individuals with developmental dyslexia (DD). This study employed event-related potentials (ERPs) and a masked priming paradigm to investigate how Chinese children with DD…

Academic institutions are increasingly adopting active learning methods to enhance educational outcomes. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we investigated neurobiological differences between active learning and traditional lecture-based approaches in university physics education. Undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory…

Xianglin Zhang; Min Wang; Hua Shu; Zhichao Xia – Developmental Science, 2025
Previous studies have shown that higher socioeconomic status (SES) and richer home literacy environment (HLE) are associated with better reading outcomes in children with family risk for reading difficulties (RD). Yet, the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying this association remain understudied. This study sought to fill in the gap using…

Sayegh, Fares; Herraiz, Laurie; Colom, Morgane; Lopez, Sébastien; Rampon, Claire; Dahan, Lionel – Learning & Memory, 2022
Dopamine participates in encoding memories and could either encode rewarding/aversive value of unconditioned stimuli or act as a novelty signal triggering contextual learning. Here we show that intraperitoneal injection of the dopamine D1/5R antagonist SCH23390 impairs contextual fear conditioning and tone-shock association, while intrahippocampal…

Konstantin Kaganovsky – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The brain must strike a balance between reliable information processing and adaptation to an ever-changing environment. At a gross anatomical level, the brain's wiring diagram is believed to be relatively set after development. Therefore, a fundamental question arises: how does stereotyped wiring lead to flexible dynamics, computation, and…
