Heart talk! Does emotional inner speech have a direct influence on cadiac physiology? Across two experiments we test to see if emotional inner speech alters heart rate. The short version is: Yes! It does. (1/5)

In our new preprint we show (and replicate) that emotional inner speech leads to increased heart rate relative to non-emotional inner speech, while controlling for movement. With Line Kruse, Xinyi Yan, Paula Samide, Anja F. Meerwald, David T. Fjendbo & Johanne S.K. Nedergaard osf.io/preprints/ps...

New paper out !!Children use spatial gestures to complement speech more for complex than simpler spatial relations - gestures might reduce mapping difficulties of complex spatial concepts to arbitrary speech symbols - in Cognitive Science !! @ercenurunal.bsky.social @dilaykaradoller @beyzasumer

In spoken languages, children acquire locative terms in a cross-linguistically stable order. Terms similar in meaning to in and on emerge earlier than those similar to front and behind, followed by l...

A study with 5M+ data points explores the link between cognitive parameters and socioeconomic outcomes: The stability of processing speed was the strongest predictor. BayesFlow facilitated efficient inference for complex decision-making models, scaling Bayesian workflows to big data. 🔗Paper

Across nine single participant experiments, we investigated if emotional inner speech influences vascular physiology (heart rate and blood pressure) relative to a number of control conditions (inner speech rate, respiration, cognitive load and muscle tension. And it does. Next step: group studies.

Setting up an fMRI model and getting hit with collinearity errors? Been there! 😢 Try removing regressors? Orthogonal regressors? Other tricks to resolve collinearity errors? Guess what—those fixes might make things worse. We explore why and propose recommendations. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

“This pain” or “that pain”? Can simple lexical choices be used to infer maladaptive mental states such as depression? Our new work hindawi.com/journals/da/... based on the Demonstrative Choice Task (DCT) suggests so. By Line Kruse with @rockberta.bsky.social and me. Thread in X x.com/LineKruse4/s...
