The physical sacrifice of thinking: Investigating the relationship between thinking and physical activity in everyday life.

Journal of health psychology

McElroy T, Dickinson DL, Stroh N, Dickinson CA.
PMID: 25609406
J Health Psychol. 2016 Aug;21(8):1750-7. doi: 10.1177/1359105314565827. Epub 2015 Jan 20.

Physical activity level is an important contributor to overall human health and obesity. Research has shown that humans possess a number of traits that influence their physical activity level including social cognition. We examined whether the trait of "need...

Toddlers infer higher-order relational principles in causal learning.

Psychological science

Walker CM, Gopnik A.
PMID: 24270464
Psychol Sci. 2014 Jan;25(1):161-9. doi: 10.1177/0956797613502983. Epub 2013 Nov 22.

Children make inductive inferences about the causal properties of individual objects from a very young age. When can they infer higher-order relational properties? In three experiments, we examined 18- to 30-month-olds' relational inferences in a causal task. Results suggest...

Effects of Acute Physical Exercise on Mathematical Computation Depending on the Parts of the Training in Young Children.

Collegium antropologicum

Bala G, Adamović T, Madić D, Popović B.
PMID: 26434008
Coll Antropol. 2015 Jul;39:29-34.

The aim of this study was to determine whether acute physical exercise may increase the ability to quickly solve basic mathematical operations in young children. In this way, the children acquired the means to activate a larger area of...

The new hybrids: Continuing debates on social perception.

Consciousness and cognition

Gallagher S.
PMID: 25952957
Conscious Cogn. 2015 Nov;36:452-65. doi: 10.1016/j.concog.2015.04.002. Epub 2015 May 04.

I evaluate several attempts to integrate standard theories of social cognition, either theory theory or simulation theory, with aspects of interaction theory, and especially with the concept of direct social perception. I refer to these as new hybrid theories...

The felt presence of other minds: Predictive processing, counterfactual predictions, and mentalising in autism.

Consciousness and cognition

Palmer CJ, Seth AK, Hohwy J.
PMID: 25934216
Conscious Cogn. 2015 Nov;36:376-89. doi: 10.1016/j.concog.2015.04.007. Epub 2015 Apr 28.

The mental states of other people are components of the external world that modulate the activity of our sensory epithelia. Recent probabilistic frameworks that cast perception as unconscious inference on the external causes of sensory input can thus be...

Improving flexible thinking in deaf and hard of hearing children with virtual reality technology.

American annals of the deaf

Passig D, Eden S.
PMID: 10965592
Am Ann Deaf. 2000 Jul;145(3):286-91. doi: 10.1353/aad.2012.0102.

The study investigated whether rotating three-dimensional (3-D) objects using virtual reality (VR) will affect flexible thinking in deaf and hard of hearing children. Deaf and hard of hearing subjects were distributed into experimental and control groups. The experimental group...

The psychology of doing nothing: forms of decision avoidance result from reason and emotion.

Psychological bulletin

Anderson CJ.
PMID: 12555797
Psychol Bull. 2003 Jan;129(1):139-67. doi: 10.1037/0033-2909.129.1.139.

Several independent lines of research bear on the question of why individuals avoid decisions by postponing them, failing to act, or accepting the status quo. This review relates findings across several different disciplines and uncovers 4 decision avoidance effects...

Thinking is believing.

Progress in brain research

Kasturirangan R.
PMID: 18166389
Prog Brain Res. 2008;168:105-14. doi: 10.1016/S0079-6123(07)68009-1.

Philosophers as well lay people often think of beliefs as psychological states with dubious epistemic properties. Beliefs are conceptualized as unregulated conceptual structures, for the most part hypothetical and often fanciful or deluded. Thinking and reasoning on the other...

Mind the gap: investigating toddlers' sensitivity to contact relations in predictive events.

PloS one

Muentener P, Bonawitz E, Horowitz A, Schulz L.
PMID: 22514616
PLoS One. 2012;7(4):e34061. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0034061. Epub 2012 Apr 13.

Toddlers readily learn predictive relations between events (e.g., that event A predicts event B). However, they intervene on A to try to cause B only in a few contexts: When a dispositional agent initiates the event or when the...

Like Schrödinger's cat, the impact bias is both dead and alive: reply to Wilson and Gilbert (2013).

Journal of personality and social psychology

Levine LJ, Lench HC, Kaplan RL, Safer MA.
PMID: 24219786
J Pers Soc Psychol. 2013 Nov;105(5):749-56. doi: 10.1037/a0034340.

In their comment on our article on affective forecasting (Levine, Lench, Kaplan, & Safer, 2012), Wilson and Gilbert (2013) criticized the meta-analysis, proposed alternative explanations for the empirical studies, and concluded that the impact bias is alive and well....

Children's Developing Descriptions and Judgments of Pretending.

Child development

Sobel DM, Letourneau SM.
PMID: 29862502
Child Dev. 2019 Sep;90(5):1817-1831. doi: 10.1111/cdev.13099. Epub 2018 Jun 04.

Two studies investigated 4- to 7-year-olds' knowledge about pretending. In Study 1, children (N = 66) defined pretending and described examples of own and others' pretending. In Study 2, children (N = 52) defined pretending and then completed a...
