Engaging in fluent conversation is a surprisingly complex task that requires interlocutors to promptly respond to each other in a way that is appropriate to the social context. In this study, we disentangled different dimensions of turn-taking by investigating how the dynamics of child-adult interactions changed according to the activity…

Anton Rogachev; Tatiana Logvinenko; Anna Rebreikina; Olga Sysoeva – Cognitive Science, 2025
Visual statistical learning (visual SL) is the ability to implicitly extract statistical patterns from visual stimuli. Visual SL could be assessed using online measures, evaluating reaction times (RTs) to stimuli during task performance, and offline measures, which assess recognition of the presented patterns. We examined 96 children aged 3-9…

Stephen Man-Kit Lee; Nicole Sin Hang Law; Shelley Xiuli Tong – Cognitive Science, 2024
Statistical learning enables humans to involuntarily process and utilize different kinds of patterns from the environment. However, the cognitive mechanisms underlying the simultaneous acquisition of multiple regularities from different perceptual modalities remain unclear. A novel multidimensional serial reaction time task was developed to test…

Declan Devlin; Korbinian Moeller; Iro Xenidou-Dervou; Bert Reynvoet; Francesco Sella – Cognitive Science, 2024
In order processing, consecutive sequences (e.g., 1-2-3) are generally processed faster than nonconsecutive sequences (e.g., 1-3-5) (also referred to as the reverse distance effect). A common explanation for this effect is that order processing operates via a memory-based associative mechanism whereby consecutive sequences are processed faster…

John Hollander; Andrew Olney – Cognitive Science, 2024
Recent investigations on how people derive meaning from language have focused on task-dependent shifts between two cognitive systems. The symbolic (amodal) system represents meaning as the statistical relationships between words. The embodied (modal) system represents meaning through neurocognitive simulation of perceptual or sensorimotor systems…

Schmid, Samuel; Saddy, Douglas; Franck, Julie – Cognitive Science, 2023
In this article, we explore the extraction of recursive nested structure in the processing of binary sequences. Our aim was to determine whether humans learn the higher-order regularities of a highly simplified input where only sequential-order information marks the hierarchical structure. To this end, we implemented a sequence generated by the…

Ramírez-Ruiz, Jorge; Moreno-Bote, Rubén – Cognitive Science, 2022
When facing many options, we narrow down our focus to very few of them. Although behaviors like this can be a sign of heuristics, they can actually be optimal under limited cognitive resources. Here, we study the problem of how to optimally allocate limited sampling time to multiple options, modeled as accumulators of noisy evidence, to determine…

Stephen Ferrigno; Samuel J. Cheyette; Susan Carey – Cognitive Science, 2025
Complex sequences are ubiquitous in human mental life, structuring representations within many different cognitive domains--natural language, music, mathematics, and logic, to name a few. However, the representational and computational machinery used to learn abstract grammars and process complex sequences is unknown. Here, we used an artificial…

Grosprêtre, Sidney; Marcel-Millet, Philémon; Eon, Pauline; Wollesen, Bettina – Cognitive Science, 2023
Virtual reality (VR) is the computer simulation of a three-dimensional environment that a person can interact with using special electronic equipment, such as a headset with an integrated display. Often coupled with VR, exergames are video games that involve physical exercise. Little is known regarding the chronic effects of exergaming through VR…

Chantavarin, Suphasiree; Morgan, Emily; Ferreira, Fernanda – Cognitive Science, 2022
Prior research has shown that various types of conventional multiword chunks are processed faster than matched novel strings, but it is unclear whether this processing advantage extends to variant multiword chunks that are less formulaic. To determine whether the processing advantage of multiword chunks accommodates variations in the canonical…

Weiyan Liao; Janet Hui-wen Hsiao – Cognitive Science, 2024
In isolated English word reading, readers have the optimal performance when their initial eye fixation is directed to the area between the beginning and word center, that is, the optimal viewing position (OVP). Thus, how well readers voluntarily direct eye gaze to this OVP during isolated word reading may be associated with reading performance.…

Riccardo Fusaroli; Christopher Cox; Ethan Weed; Balázs István Szabó; Deborah Fein; Letitia Naigles – Cognitive Science, 2025
Social interaction depends on turn-taking and adapting to one's conversational partner, yet little is known about the typical and atypical development of these abilities. We investigated this in a longitudinal corpus of spontaneous speech in 64 parent-child dyads: 32 typically developing children (20.27 months at start, six girls, 24 White) and 32…

Scheer, Tobias; Mathy, Fabien – Cognitive Science, 2021
The input to phonological reasoning are alternations, that is, variations in the pronunciation of related words, such as in "electri[k]" - "electri[s]-ity." But phonologists cannot agree what counts as a relevant alternation: the issue is highly contentious despite a research record of over 50 years. We believe that the…

Dreneva, Anna; Shvarts, Anna; Chumachenko, Dmitry; Krichevets, Anatoly – Cognitive Science, 2021
The paper addresses the capabilities and limitations of extrafoveal processing during a categorical visual search. Previous research has established that a target could be identified from the very first or without any saccade, suggesting that extrafoveal perception is necessarily involved. However, the limits in complexity defining the processed…

Garofalo, Gioacchino; Marino, Barbara F. M.; Bellelli, Stefano; Riggio, Lucia – Cognitive Science, 2021
We performed three experiments to investigate whether adjectives can modulate the sensorimotor activation elicited by nouns. In Experiment 1, nouns of graspable objects were used as stimuli. Participants had to decide if each noun referred to a natural or artifact, by performing either a precision or a power reach-to-grasp movement. Response grasp…
