Cognitive mechanisms underlying emotion regulation
… of an emotional response or modulate it via cognitive reappraisal. Antecedent strategies involve avoidance behaviour i. e. avoiding situations in which the emotional response is likely to occur. Recent evidence has now demonstrated, however, that the cognitive and emotional systems are highly …

Observations and theories: cognitive mechanisms of discovery
… research lies at the intersection of cognitive science, psychology, machine learning, and philosophy, aiming to enhance our understanding of how theories and data are—and should be—integrated to arrive at understandings of the world. In the first part, I empirically examine how our …

Cognitive mechanisms in comorbid insomnia and chronic pain
… relative contributions of pain catastrophizing, cognitive PSA, and somatic PSA to the prediction of scores on the Insomnia Severity Index, while controlling for age, sex, education level, depression severity, symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), and pain intensity. Results showed that pain …

Cognitive Mechanisms of Memory Impairment Following Traumatic Brain Injury
Memory impairment is common following traumatic brain injury (TBI). In recent years, researchers have demonstrated that the processes underlying memory formation (working memory, encoding, consolidation, and retrieval) are interrelated but dissociable events.The following study was designed to …

Stress and alcohol use: An experimental investigation of cognitive mechanisms
… of Alcohol Use Disorder. Theory suggests that cognitive processes, particularly unconscious cognitive processes, are key in determining a coping strategy but both alcohol and chronic exposure to stressors may interfere with these processes. The current study tested one such process, attention …

Loneliness and Health: Physiological and Cognitive Mechanisms in Adulthood and Childhood
… series of six studies that examine the potential cognitive and physiological mechanisms that underpin the association between loneliness and health. The current theoretical model (Cacioppo & Hawkley, 2009) proposes that loneliness is linked to poor health through hypervigilance to social threat …

Comparing the Cognitive Mechanisms of False Memories with the Misinformation and DRM Paradigms
… of this project was to compare the neural mechanisms between MI and DRM false memories. We used a novel paradigm to limit methodological differences, while maintaining the defining characteristics of each paradigm. We made ERP predictions for false memories in both paradigms based on four …

Modeling collective dynamics of social systems: Incorporating various social mechanisms into agent-based models
… models (ABM) focusing on evolutionary and cognitive mechanisms. The first report demonstrates the coupled emergence of cooperation and selfish punishment behavior in groups of individuals playing an iterated public goods game. The second report demonstrates the effects of mental modeling …

Attentional processing of different types of written L2 input and its relationship with learners' working memory capacity
… type and the amount of input as well as several cognitive mechanisms play an important role in input processing. The present study investigated how different cognitive mechanisms are influential in processing different types of input. The study was conducted with 100 undergraduate L2 learners of …

OVERLAPPING COGNITIVE PREDICTORS for MATH and WRITING ACHIEVEMENT
Math and writing both rely on a range of specific cognitive skills, including working memory, phonological processing, and fine motor skills. However, the systemic relations of these cognitive predictors across math and writing outcomes and with one another are not well understood. The current …

Bridging Psychometric and Cognitive Models of (General) Intelligence: An Investigation Based on Process Overlap Theory
… attempt to explain the robust findings in cognitive ability testing, such as the positive manifold, from two different perspectives: psychometric or cognitive. Both approaches have their own limitations and are sometimes incompatible with each other. Therefore, contemporary theories of …

Pretence and Counterfactual Reasoning: What is the nature of the relationship
… and counterfactual reasoning involve the same cognitive mechanisms. However, there is little empirical evidence concerning the nature of the association between pretence and counterfactual reasoning (CFR), and the associations of these constructs with other cognitive abilities. This study …

Cultural Metacognitive Processes: Psychological Mechanisms Promoting Intercultural Effectiveness
… In Chapter 3, I examine the conditions and cognitive mechanisms that facilitate application and updating of cultural knowledge among individuals high on cultural metacognition. I further test whether related individual difference factors can explain the hypotheses I proposed in Chapter 3. …

Psychophysiological Markers of Cognitive Reactions to Depictions of Corporal Punishment
<p>The following study assessed cognitive mechanisms, via physiological measures, in reaction to photos depicting conditions of corporal punishment, nonphysical punishment, and a neutral control. Detections in skin conductance (SCR) were used to examine autonomic stress response. The current study …

Effects of goal maintenance training on executive control in older adults
… are necessary for successful execution of many cognitive and real-world tasks, interest has arisen in determining how these abilities can be improved. A previous study demonstrated that both practice and strategy training improved performance in older adults on an executive control task …
