Empathy, Defending, and Functional Connectivity While Witnessing Social Exclusion

Author(s): McIver TA; Craig W; Bosma RL; Chiarella J; Klassen J; Sandra A; Goegan S; Booij L;

Peers are present for most bullying episodes. Peers who witness bullying can play an important role in either stopping or perpetuating the behaviour. Defending can greatly benefit victimized peers. Empathy is strongly associated with defending. Yet, less is known about defenders' neural response to witnessing social distress, and how this response may ...

EXPRESS: Strawman Argument Characterizes Critique of Kamin Blocking Effect

Author(s): Peter Seraganian

This commentary focuses upon the robustness of the Kamin Blocking Effect (KBE) that Maes et al., (2016), based upon 15 failures to replicate, have questioned. This challenge to KBE robustness has not gone unaddressed. Soto (2018) outlined conceptual as well as methodological issues that cast doubt on the validity of the Maes et al., (2016) critique. Despi ...

Understanding Associative Learning Through Higher-Order Conditioning

Author(s): Gostolupce D; Lay BPP; Maes EJP; Iordanova MD;

Associative learning is often considered to require the physical presence of stimuli in the environment in order for them to be linked. This, however, is not a necessary condition for learning. Indeed, associative relationships can form between events that are never directly paired. That is, associative learning can occur by integrating information across ...

The Convergence Model of Brain Reward Circuitry: Implications for Relief of Treatment-Resistant Depression by Deep-Brain Stimulation of the Medial Forebrain Bundle

Author(s): Pallikaras V; Shizgal P;

Deep-brain stimulation of the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) can provide effective, enduring relief of treatment-resistant depression. Panksepp provided an explanatory framework: the MFB constitutes the core of the neural circuitry subserving the anticipation and pursuit of rewards: the "SEEKING" system. On that view, the SEEKING system is hypoactive in de ...

Are translation equivalents special? Evidence from simulations and empirical data from bilingual infants

Author(s): Tsui RK; Gonzalez-Barrero AM; Schott E; Byers-Heinlein K;

The acquisition of translation equivalents is often considered a special component of bilingual children's vocabulary development, as bilinguals have to learn words that share the same meaning across their two languages. This study examined three contrasting accounts for bilingual children's acquisition of translation equivalents relative to singl ...

Gesture development in infancy: Effects of gender but not bilingualism

Author(s): Germain N; Gonzalez-Barrero AM; Byers-Heinlein K;

Gesture is an important communication tool that provides insight into infants' early language and cognitive development and predicts later language skills. While bilingual school-age children have been reported to gesture more than monolinguals, there is a lack of research examining gesture use in infants exposed to more than one language. In this pre ...
