The human sense of smell can accomplish astonishing feats, yet there remains a prevailing
belief that olfactory language is deficient. Numerous studies with English speakers support …

Neural networks are successfully used to imitate and model cognitive processes. However,
to provide clues about the neurobiological mechanisms enabling human cognition, these …

A neurobiologically constrained model of semantic learning in the human brain was used to
simulate the acquisition of concrete and abstract concepts, either with or without verbal …

Language influences cognitive and conceptual processing, but the mechanisms through
which such causal effects are realized in the human brain remain unknown. Here, we use a …

Linguistic categories can impact visual perception. For instance, learning that two objects
have different names can enhance their discriminability. Previous studies have identified a …

Can brief training on novel grammatical morphemes influence visual processing of
nonlinguistic stimuli? If so, how deep is this effect? Here, an experimental group learned two …

Research has shown that speakers of different languages may differ in their cognitive and
perceptual processing of reality. A common denominator of this line of investigation has …

This research introduces behavioral labeling as the use of names or tags that reflect an
associated activity, and it proposes that this can induce corresponding behavior. Contrary to …

Abstract (eg, characters or fractals) and concrete stimuli (eg, pictures of everyday objects)
are used interchangeably in the reinforcement-learning literature. Yet, it is unclear whether …

This chapter aims to provide guidance for novel as well as more seasoned researchers in
understanding the fundamental characteristics, complementary strengths and uses of online …
