In an ever-changing environment, synchronizing automatic and controlled behaviors is essential for successful adaptation. Yet, the relationship between these behaviors is often debated, partly because...

Through statistical learning, people extract patterns from the environment to predict future events. In a longitudinal study, the authors show that statistical learning declines with age and that high...

Consciousness is not separate from the physical world — our “soul” is of the same nature as our body and any other phenomenon of the world.

Extracting regularities from a noisy environment is fundamental to cognition, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. Here, the authors use MEG and MVPA to reveal two temporally dissociab...

Children often outperform adults in probabilistic statistical learning tasks, yet the mechanisms underlying this developmental advantage remain poorly understood. Here, we used eye-tracking measures o...

Science is constitutively third-personal: its findings are in principle reproducible by any observer, independent of perspective, and answerable to measurement. This is the source of its power and als...

Daydreaming is often viewed as a failure of attention, but new research suggests it serves a hidden purpose. Scientists have discovered that the temporary drop in self-control during mind wandering actually boosts the brain’s ability to unconsciously learn complex environmental patterns.

A new psychological study reveals that cognitive difficulties are linked to behavioral addiction, not the mere act of playing video games. While individuals at risk of gaming disorder struggle with working memory, recreational gamers actually display enhanced attention.

Ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) is consistently engaged during mind-wandering, but its role in mind-wandering is still unclear. The present stu…

There is increasing evidence that brief periods of quiet wakeful rest immediately after learning facilitate memory consolidation. Similar to consolida…

Abstract. Memory is consolidated during “offline” states of reduced attention to the external stimulus environment, including sleep and resting wakefulness. While consolidation is usually studied on a...

In symbolic number comparison tasks, the numerical distance and size effects are largely influenced by the statistical properties of the stimuli. Here, we tested whether nonsymbolic number comparison ...
