Organization of brain networks governed by long-range connections index autistic traits in the general population
(2013-06-27)Background: The dimensional approach to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) considers ASD as the extreme of a dimension traversing through the entire population. We explored the potential utility of electroencephalography (EEG) ... -
Parsing a cognitive task : a characterization of the mind’s bottleneck
(2005-02-08)Parsing a mental operation into components, characterizing the parallel or serial nature of this flow, and understanding what each process ultimately contributes to response time are fundamental questions in cognitive ... -
Partisanship predicts COVID-19 vaccine brand preference: the case of Argentina
(Humanities and Social Sciences Communications (Humanit Soc Sci Commun) ISSN 2662-9992 (online), 2023)The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the significance of overcoming vaccine adoption resistance and addressing real and perceived barriers for efficient vaccination campaigns. One major problem faced by health systems around ... -
Partisanship Predicts COVID-19 Vaccine Brand Preference: The Insightful Case of Argentina
(2022)The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of not only diminishing the resistance to vaccine adoption in general, but also to reduce both real and perceived barriers to a swift vaccination campaign. One major problem ... -
Peer tutoring of computer programming increases exploratory behavior in children
(Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2022)There is growing interest in teaching computer science and programming skills in schools. Here we investigated the efficacy of peer tutoring, which is known to be a useful educational resource in other domains but never ... -
Preliminary evidence about the effects of meditation on interoceptive sensitivity and social cognition
(2013-12-23)Background: Interoception refers to the conscious perception of body signals. Mindfulness is a meditation practice that encourages individuals to focus on their internal experiences such as bodily sensations, thoughts, ... -
Producing or reproducing reasoning? Socratic dialog is very effective, but only for a few
(2017-03-23)Successful communication between a teacher and a student is at the core of pedagogy. A well known example of a pedagogical dialog is `Meno', a socratic lesson of geometry in which a student learns (or `discovers') how ... -
Proprioceptive body illusions modulate the visual perception of reaching distance
(2015-06-25)The neurobiology of reaching has been extensively studied in human and non-human pri- mates. However, the mechanisms that allow a subject to decide—without engaging in explicit action—whether an object is reachable are not ... -
Quantitative pedagogy : a digital two player game to examine communicative competence
(2015-11-10)nner concepts are much richer than the words that describe them. Our general objective is to inquire what are the best procedures to communicate conceptual knowledge. We con- struct a simplified and controlled setup emulating ... -
Serial, parallel and hierarchical decision making in primates
(2017-06-26)he study of decision-making has mainly focused on isolated decisions where choices are associated with motor actions. However, problem-solving often involves considering a hierarchy of sub-decisions. In a recent study ... -
Social validation influences individuals’ judgments about ownership
(2018-06-30)In all domains, from informal to formal, there are conflicts about property and ownership which resolution demands consideration of alleged claims from more than one party. In this work we asked adults (N = 359) to judge ... -
The brain’s router : a cortical network model of serial processing in the primate brain
(2010-04-29)The human brain efficiently solves certain operations such as object recognition and categorization through a massively parallel network of dedicated processors. However, human cognition also relies on the ability to perform ... -
The globalizability of temporal discounting
(Nature Human Behaviour, 2022)Economic inequality is associated with preferences for smaller, immediate gains over larger, delayed ones. Such temporal discounting may feed into rising global inequality, yet it is unclear whether it is a function of ... -
The Long and Winding Road to Real-Life Experiments: Remote Assessment of Executive Functions with Computerized Games—Results from 8 Years of Naturalistic Interventions
(Brain Sciences (e-ISSN 2076-3425), 2024-03-07)Mate Marote is an open-access cognitive training software aimed at children between 4 and 8 years old. It consists of a set of computerized games specifically tailored to train and evaluate Executive Functions (EF), a ... -
The neural basis of decision-making and reward processing in adults with euthymic bipolar disorder or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
(2012-05-18)Background: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and bipolar disorder (BD) share DSM-IV criteria in adults and cause problems in decision-making. Nevertheless, no previous report has assessed a decision-making ... -
The Open Anchoring Quest Dataset: Anchored Estimates from 96 Studies on Anchoring Effects
(Journal of Open Psychology DataUbiquity Press, 2022)People’s estimates are biased toward previously considered numbers (anchoring). We have aggregated all available data from anchoring studies that included at least two anchors into one large dataset. Data were standardized ... -
The presence of irrelevant alternatives paradoxically increases confidence in perceptual decisions
(Cognition, 2023)Confidence in perceptual decisions is thought to reflect the probability of being correct. According to this view, confidence should be unaffected or minimally reduced by the presence of irrelevant alternatives. To test ... -
The Spatial and Temporal Construction of Confidence in the Visual Scene
(2009-03-17)Human subjects can report many items of a cluttered field a few hundred milliseconds after stimulus presentation. This memory decays rapidly and after a second only 3 or 4 items can be stored in working memory. Here we ... -
The wisdom of extremized crowds: Promoting erroneous divergent opinions increases collective accuracy
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2023)The aggregation of many lay judgements can generate surprisingly accurate estimates. This effect, known as the “wisdom of the crowd”, has been demonstrated in domains such as medical decision-making, factchecking news, ...
