Using repeatability of performance within and across contexts to validate measures of behavioral flexibility.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): PeerJ. Aug2023, p1-17. 17p.
Abstract: Research into animal cognitive abilities is increasing quickly and often uses methods where behavioral performance on a task is assumed to represent variation in the underlying cognitive trait. However, because these methods rely on behavioral response...
Rapid, automated, and experimenter-free touchscreen testing reveals reciprocal interactions between cognitive flexibility and activity-based anorexia in female rats.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): eLife. 7/13/2023, p1-22. 22p.
Abstract: Anorexia nervosa has among the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric disorder and is characterized by cognitive inflexibility that persists after weight recovery and contributes to the chronic nature of the condition. What remains unknown is wheth...
The Relationships Between Neural Activity and In-Game Hitting Performance in Baseball.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology. Aug2023, Vol. 45 Issue 4, p185-194. 10p. 1 Color Photograph, 3 Charts, 3 Graphs.
Abstract: The current study examines the relationships between hitters' neural activity and their in-game hitting performance. Collegiate baseball players completed a computerized video task assessing whether thrown pitches were balls or strikes while their neur...
The Development of Intuitive and Analytic Thinking in Autism: The Case of Cognitive Reflection.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of Intelligence. Jun2023, Vol. 11 Issue 6, p124. 15p.
Abstract: The cognitive reflection test (CRT) is a short measure of a person's ability to resist intuitive response tendencies, and to produce normatively correct responses that are assumed to be based on effortful, analytic thinking. A remarkable characteristic...
Within-Individual Variation in Cognitive Performance Is Not Noise: Why and How Cognitive Assessments Should Examine Within-Person Performance.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of Intelligence. Jun2023, Vol. 11 Issue 6, p110. 19p.
Abstract: Despite evidence that it exists, short-term within-individual variability in cognitive performance has largely been ignored as a meaningful component of human cognitive ability. In this article, we build a case for why this within-individual variabilit...
Overconfidence in the Cognitive Reflection Test: Comparing Confidence Resolution for Reasoning vs. General Knowledge.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of Intelligence. May2023, Vol. 11 Issue 5, p81. 18p.
Abstract: This research examines the metacognitive awareness that people have about their reasoning performance in the Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT). The first two studies compare confidence judgments about the CRT vs. general knowledge (GK) questions. Results...
Methods to Identify Cognitive Alterations from Animals to Humans: A Translational Approach.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Apr2023, Vol. 24 Issue 8, p7653. 29p.
Abstract: The increasing prevalence of cognitive dysfunction and dementia in developed countries, associated with population aging, has generated great interest in characterizing and quantifying cognitive deficits in these patients. An essential tool for accurat...
Tell Us What You Really Think: A Think Aloud Protocol Analysis of the Verbal Cognitive Reflection Test.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of Intelligence. Apr2023, Vol. 11 Issue 4, p76. 17p.
Abstract: The standard interpretation of cognitive reflection tests assumes that correct responses are reflective and lured responses are unreflective. However, prior process-tracing of mathematical reflection tests has cast doubt on this interpretation. In two ...
Cognitive Test Solution in Mice with Different Brain Weights after Atomoxetine.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Neurology International. Jun2023, Vol. 15 Issue 2, p649-660. 12p.
Abstract: In this paper, the data are presented concerning different reactions to seven daily injections of atomoxetine in two mouse strains differing in relative brain weight. Atomoxetine affected the performance in a puzzle-box cognitive test in a complicated ...
The Automated Test of Embodied Cognition: Concept, Development, and Preliminary Findings.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Brain Sciences (2076-3425). Jun2023, Vol. 13 Issue 6, p856. 10p.
Abstract: (1) Background: The Automated Test of Embodied Cognition (ATEC) uses video administration of cognitively demanding physical tasks and motion capture technology to assess cognition in action. Embodied cognition is a radical departure from conventional a...
