Autism has influenced social-cognitive neuroscience in important ways. It has provided the impetus to look for the brain basis of mentalizing and encouraged the search for the brain bases of other social abilities. A fundamental aspect of social interaction is the ability to predict what other agents are going to do. We propose a hierarchy of three worlds—the world of objects, the world of agents, and the world of ideas—that respectively present their own challenges and solutions to such predictions. The world of ideas provides a direct interface between individual minds and other minds (i.e., culture). We highlight the power of culture to change subjective experiences and the power of subjective experiences to influence culture. The example of autism shows these mutual influences at work. These influences have led to dramatic changes in the concept of “autism” since its first use in child psychiatry.
自闭症在许多重要方面影响了社会认知神经科学。它为寻找心智化的大脑基础提供了动力,并鼓励了对其他社会能力的大脑基础的研究。社会互动的一个基本方面是预测其他主体将要做什么的能力。我们提出了一个由三个世界组成的层次结构——对象的世界、代理的世界和思想的世界——它们分别对这种预测提出了自己的挑战和解决方案。思想世界为个人思想和他人思想(即文化)之间提供了一个直接的接口。我们强调文化改变主观体验的力量,以及主观体验影响文化的力量。自闭症的例子显示了这些相互的影响。这些影响导致了自“自闭症”概念首次在儿童精神病学中使用以来的巨大变化。

Social Drinking and Addiction: A Social-Cognitive Model for Understanding Alcohol Use Disorder Risk 社交饮酒和成瘾:理解酒精使用障碍风险的社会认知模型
IF 7.2 1区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-04-07 DOI: 10.1177/09637214251318272

Scientists have long focused on intrapersonal factors and solitary drinking settings in researching addiction etiology. Yet evidence has accumulated to indicate a key role for social contexts in the development of alcohol use disorder. Here we review four core characteristics of social drinking contexts that are relevant for understanding disordered drinking: prevalence, developmental timing, negative consequences, and reward value. We present a social-cognitive model aimed at elucidating reinforcement from alcohol in social contexts and propose a role for alcohol in inhibiting higher order cognitive processes that otherwise dampen the experience of social rewards. We also review a series of empirical studies that provide evidence for the role of social contexts in the development of alcohol use disorder, highlighting methodological challenges and indicating directions for future research.
长期以来,科学家们在研究成瘾病因时一直关注个人因素和单独饮酒环境。然而,越来越多的证据表明,社会环境在酒精使用障碍的发展中起着关键作用。在这里,我们回顾了与理解饮酒障碍相关的社交饮酒环境的四个核心特征:患病率、发育时间、负面后果和奖励价值。我们提出了一个社会认知模型,旨在阐明酒精在社会环境中的强化作用,并提出酒精在抑制高阶认知过程中的作用,否则会抑制社会奖励的体验。我们还回顾了一系列实证研究,这些研究为社会背景在酒精使用障碍发展中的作用提供了证据,强调了方法上的挑战,并指出了未来研究的方向。

Speech Perception Is Speech Learning 语言感知就是语言学习
IF 7.2 1区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-04-07 DOI: 10.1177/09637214251318726

Speech conveys both linguistic messages and a wealth of social and identity information about a talker. This information arrives as complex variations across many acoustic dimensions. Ultimately, speech communication depends on experience within a language community to develop shared long-term knowledge of the mapping from acoustic patterns to the category distinctions that support word recognition, emotion evaluation, and talker identification. A great deal of research has focused on the learning involved in acquiring long-term knowledge to support speech categorization. Inadvertently, this focus may give the impression of a mature learning endpoint. Instead, there seems to be no firm line between perception and learning in speech. The contributions of acoustic dimensions are malleably reweighted continuously as a function of regularities evolving in short-term input. In this way, continuous learning across speech impacts the very nature of the mapping from sensory input to perceived category. This article presents a case study in understanding how incoming sensory input—and the learning that takes place across it—interacts with existing knowledge to drive predictions that tune the system to support future behavior.
言语既能传递语言信息,也能传递说话人的大量社会信息和身份信息。这些信息以复杂的变化形式出现在许多声学维度上。最终,语言交流依赖于语言社区内的经验,以发展从声学模式到支持单词识别、情感评估和说话者识别的类别区分的映射的共享长期知识。大量的研究都集中在获取长期知识以支持语音分类的学习上。不经意间,这个焦点可能给人一种成熟的学习终点的印象。相反,在语言的感知和学习之间似乎没有明确的界限。声学维度的贡献作为短期输入变化规律的函数,具有延展性,可以不断地重新加权。通过这种方式,跨语言的持续学习影响了从感官输入到感知类别映射的本质。本文提供了一个案例研究,以了解传入的感官输入(以及通过它进行的学习)如何与现有知识相互作用,从而驱动调整系统以支持未来行为的预测。

The Wobbly Bits of Development: Variability, Fluctuations, and Synchrony as Temporal Markers Linking Temperament and Psychopathology 发展的不稳定:可变性、波动和同步性作为连接气质和精神病理学的时间标记
IF 7.2 1区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-03-31 DOI: 10.1177/09637214241311919

Temperament traits are early appearing and relatively stable phenotypic profiles of behavior that are present across space and time. This definition invariably reflects the timescale imposed when gathering repeated measures of our variables of interest and our reliance on aggregate, mean-level values. However, if the timescale of observations is shortened and the frequency of observations is increased, underlying or latent fluctuations and variability may emerge. Embedding short-term fluctuations into slower developmental trajectories may improve our understanding of behavior in the moment while also strengthening prediction. Researchers should embrace a more granular timescale in research, incorporating new technology and analytical approaches, enhancing our ability to capture developmental change. This article illustrates how shifting timescales can provide new insight into social, behavioral, and cognitive processes across development.
气质特征是早期出现的,相对稳定的行为表型,存在于不同的空间和时间。这个定义总是反映了在收集我们感兴趣的变量的重复测量和我们对总体平均水平值的依赖时所施加的时间尺度。但是,如果缩短观测的时间尺度,增加观测的频率,就可能出现潜在的或潜在的波动和变率。将短期波动嵌入到较慢的发展轨迹中,可以提高我们对当下行为的理解,同时也加强了预测。研究人员应该在研究中采用更细粒度的时间尺度,结合新技术和分析方法,增强我们捕捉发展变化的能力。这篇文章说明了如何改变时间尺度可以为跨开发的社会、行为和认知过程提供新的见解。

The Development of Dance in Early Childhood 幼儿时期舞蹈的发展
IF 7.2 1区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-03-14 DOI: 10.1177/09637214251323490

Dancing to music is prevalent across human cultures. It is also developmentally precocious—most children display dance-like behaviors before their first birthday. This early emergence precedes a long maturational trajectory with broad individual differences. Here, we survey recent research on dance in infancy and childhood. We propose that investigating early musical movements is useful for understanding the development of dance itself and that dance can serve as a behavioral measure to better understand development in adjacent domains, such as auditory perception and musical memory. Finally, we discuss potential developmental mechanisms underlying early dance and highlight major remaining questions. Studying early dance provides an opportunity to highlight how fundamental processes in psychology, such as nature-nurture interactions, individual differences, and the interplay between abilities and environments, can impact the emergence and expression of this social and multimodal human behavior.
随音乐起舞在人类文化中非常普遍。它在发育上也很早熟--大多数儿童在一岁前就表现出类似舞蹈的行为。在这种早熟现象出现之前,会经历一个漫长的成熟过程,而且个体差异很大。在此,我们将对有关婴幼儿舞蹈的最新研究进行综述。我们认为,研究早期音乐动作有助于了解舞蹈本身的发展,而且舞蹈可以作为一种行为测量手段,更好地了解听觉感知和音乐记忆等相邻领域的发展。最后,我们讨论了早期舞蹈的潜在发展机制,并强调了尚存的主要问题。研究早期舞蹈为我们提供了一个机会,以突出心理学的基本过程,如自然与养育的相互作用、个体差异以及能力与环境之间的相互作用,是如何影响这种社会性和多模态人类行为的出现和表达的。

The Link Between Companion Dogs, Human Fertility Rates, and Social Networks 伴侣狗、人类生育率和社会网络之间的联系
IF 7.2 1区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-03-14 DOI: 10.1177/09637214251318284

The number of dogs in Western countries has increased over the past 2 decades, whereas the number of children has remained stable or decreased. Many dog owners, including those with children, say that their pets are more important to them than any human. Presumably, the declining fertility rates contribute to the increasing value of dogs in the lives of people, and dogs fill an empty niche. The companion-dog cultural-runaway theory posits that the change in dog-keeping habits has both biological and cultural evolutionary roots. Human ancestors developed a cooperative breeding system 2 million years ago, with the community aiding in child-rearing. Because people currently do not perceive the level of social support and trust to which they are biologically adapted, they seek alternatives. One coping strategy may involve transferring genetically based prosocial attitudes, such as the tendency to engage in parental behavior, to dogs. Western culture supports this shift and portrays dog ownership positively. Moreover, the biological evolution of dogs, with the spread of short-headed, small-sized lapdogs, also contributes to them being viewed as “children.” Dogs may facilitate or hinder the restoration of human network complexity, but this area is currently largely unexplored.
在过去的20年里,西方国家的狗的数量有所增加,而儿童的数量则保持稳定或减少。许多养狗的人,包括有孩子的人,都说他们的宠物对他们来说比任何人都重要。据推测,生育率的下降有助于提高狗在人们生活中的价值,狗填补了一个空白的利基。伴侣犬文化逃逸理论认为,养狗习惯的改变既有生物根源,也有文化进化根源。人类祖先早在200万年前就发展出了合作繁殖系统,集体帮助抚养孩子。因为人们目前没有意识到他们在生理上所适应的社会支持和信任水平,他们寻求替代方案。一种应对策略可能涉及将基于基因的亲社会态度(如参与父母行为的倾向)转移到狗身上。西方文化支持这种转变,并积极地描绘养狗。此外,狗的生物进化,随着短头,小型哈巴狗的传播,也有助于他们被视为“孩子”。狗可能促进或阻碍人类网络复杂性的恢复,但这一领域目前在很大程度上尚未开发。

Ambiguity and Reentrant Processing in Object Detection 目标检测中的歧义和可重入处理

Many scientists continue to conceive of object detection as occurring in stages that map onto levels in the visual hierarchy. This article reviews experiments suggesting that multiple interpretations and their semantics are activated at high levels before conscious object detection. That more than one interpretation is activated before object detection implies that ambiguity (and not just uncertainty) exists before conscious object detection. This is so even when displays seem unambiguous after detection. Converging evidence from a variety of methods indicates that inhibitory competition resolves the unconscious ambiguity. Experiments in my laboratory suggest that reentrant processes—both cortico-cortical and cortico-subcortical—determine conscious perception. I conclude that object detection entails global dynamic interactive Bayesian processes. Stage terminology is outdated.
许多科学家仍然认为,物体检测是在视觉层次的各个层次上分阶段发生的。本文回顾了一些实验,表明在有意识的物体检测之前,多种解释及其语义在高水平上被激活。在物体检测之前,不止一种解释被激活,这意味着模糊性(而不仅仅是不确定性)在有意识的物体检测之前就存在了。即使在检测后显示似乎没有歧义时也是如此。来自多种方法的证据表明,抑制性竞争解决了无意识歧义。我实验室的实验表明,再入过程——皮质-皮质和皮质-皮质下——决定了意识知觉。我的结论是,目标检测需要全局动态交互贝叶斯过程。舞台术语已经过时了。

Casting a Wider Net: Using Automated Content Analysis to Discover New Ideas 撒更大的网:使用自动化内容分析来发现新想法
IF 7.2 1区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-03-12 DOI: 10.1177/09637214251315716

Psychology has made great strides in how researchers collect, analyze, and report data, but there has been less attention to improving hypothesis generation. Some researchers still rely on intuition, serendipitous observations, or a limited reading of the literature to come up with a single idea about a relationship between constructs. Although this approach has led to valuable insights, it can constrain thinking and often fails to generate a full picture of what is going on. New approaches, however, allow researchers to cast a wider net. Specifically, by reducing the cost and effort of examining a broader set of potential variables, automated content analysis (i.e., computer-assisted methods for extracting features from unstructured data) can uncover new insights and help develop new theories. We describe how these techniques can be applied to various research questions and outline methods and criteria that can be used to gain a wider perspective. In sum, automated content analysis is a powerful tool for identifying new and important phenomena, building (and sharpening) theory, and increasing impact.
心理学在研究人员如何收集、分析和报告数据方面取得了长足的进步,但对改进假设生成的关注却很少。一些研究人员仍然依靠直觉、偶然的观察或对文献的有限阅读来得出关于构念之间关系的单一想法。尽管这种方法带来了有价值的见解,但它可能会限制思维,并且经常无法生成正在发生的事情的全貌。然而,新的方法使研究人员能够撒下更大的网。具体来说,通过减少检查更广泛的潜在变量集的成本和工作量,自动化内容分析(即从非结构化数据中提取特征的计算机辅助方法)可以发现新的见解并帮助开发新的理论。我们描述了如何将这些技术应用于各种研究问题,并概述了可用于获得更广泛视角的方法和标准。总而言之,自动化内容分析是识别新的和重要的现象、构建(和锐化)理论和增加影响的强大工具。

Cultural Cascades and Infant Resilience: Insights From Tajik Gahvora Cradling Practices 文化级联和婴儿弹性:来自塔吉克加沃拉摇篮实践的见解
IF 7.2 1区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-02-24 DOI: 10.1177/09637214241308831

Cascades from culture inform beliefs and norms that guide childrearing, resulting in diverse experiences that shape developmental outcomes. This article explores the influence of cultural beliefs and childrearing practices on infant development, focusing on the traditional gahvora cradling practice in Tajikistan. Cradling in gahvoras involves movement restriction, providing a unique model for investigating how early physical constraints shape developmental trajectories and challenging conventional theories that emphasize the necessity of continuous, unrestricted movement. By situating motor development within a broader social and cultural framework, this article highlights the importance of considering cultural context in developmental research. Despite these physical constraints, infants exhibit adaptive motor activity when unbound, suggesting a flexible and resilient developmental system. These practices illuminate the dynamic interplay of physical, social, and cultural factors, revealing how diverse early experiences shape developmental outcomes.
来自文化的连锁反应为指导儿童教育的信念和规范提供了信息,从而产生了塑造发展结果的不同经历。本文探讨了文化信仰和育儿实践对婴儿发展的影响,重点是塔吉克斯坦传统的gahvora摇篮实践。在婴儿摇篮中,婴儿的运动受到了限制,这为研究早期的身体限制如何塑造发育轨迹提供了一个独特的模型,并挑战了强调连续、不受限制的运动必要性的传统理论。通过将运动发展置于更广泛的社会和文化框架中,本文强调了在发展研究中考虑文化背景的重要性。尽管有这些身体上的限制,婴儿在不受约束的情况下表现出适应性的运动活动,这表明一个灵活和有弹性的发育系统。这些实践阐明了身体、社会和文化因素的动态相互作用,揭示了不同的早期经历如何影响发展结果。

This article explores the influence of cultural beliefs and childrearing practices on infant development, focusing on the traditional gahvora cradling practice in Tajikistan. Cradling in gahvoras involves movement restriction, providing a unique model for investigating how early physical constraints shape developmental trajectories and challenging conventional theories that emphasize the necessity of continuous, unrestricted movement. By situating motor development within a broader social and cultural framework, this article highlights the importance of considering cultural context in developmental research. Despite these physical constraints, infants exhibit adaptive motor activity when unbound, suggesting a flexible and resilient developmental system. These practices illuminate the dynamic interplay of physical, social, and cultural factors, revealing how diverse early experiences shape developmental outcomes.","PeriodicalId":10802,"journal":{"name":"Current Directions in Psychological Science","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143485703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adolescence is a dynamic period of brain development marked by profound changes in learning, decision-making, and higher order cognition. This article explores how research on the adolescent brain can inform the development of biologically based computational models of learning and behavior. We highlight how computational frameworks such as reinforcement learning and artificial neural networks capture key features of adolescent behavior, including shifts in exploration and decision-making strategies. By integrating principles of brain development, such as synaptic pruning and the hierarchical development of neural circuits, computational models can offer insights into how the brain adapts to new experiences and challenges. We argue that studying adolescent brain development not only enhances our understanding of cognition but also provides a valuable framework for refining computational models of brain function. We propose future directions for how adolescent research can inform innovations in computational research to better capture dynamic brain states, individual variability, and risk for psychopathology.
青春期是大脑发育的一个动态时期,以学习、决策和高级认知的深刻变化为标志。本文探讨了对青少年大脑的研究如何为基于生物学的学习和行为计算模型的发展提供信息。我们强调了强化学习和人工神经网络等计算框架如何捕捉青少年行为的关键特征,包括探索和决策策略的转变。通过整合大脑发育的原理,如突触修剪和神经回路的分层发展,计算模型可以深入了解大脑如何适应新的体验和挑战。我们认为,研究青少年大脑发育不仅增强了我们对认知的理解,而且为完善大脑功能的计算模型提供了一个有价值的框架。我们提出了未来的研究方向,即青少年研究如何为计算研究的创新提供信息,以更好地捕捉动态大脑状态、个体差异和精神病理风险。
