Mind-wandering refers to the shift of attention towards task-unrelated thoughts. The current study aims to explore the impact of mind-wandering on learning and decision-making under uncertain circumstances. This study investigated the interplay of trait (spontaneous and deliberate) and state mind-wandering on learning and decision making using the Iowa Gambling Task. Intermittent thought probes were used to measure state mind wandering, and a standardised 8-item mind-wandering questionnaire was used to measure trait mind wandering. Results revealed that participants demonstrated enhanced learning across task trials when engaged in task-unrelated thoughts (mind-wandering). Furthermore, an interaction effect emerged between trait spontaneous mind-wandering and state mind-wandering, significantly predicting learning under uncertainty. Specifically, the beneficial impact of state mind-wandering on learning was most pronounced in individuals with moderate to high levels of spontaneous mind-wandering traits. However, there was no significant effect of mind-wandering on the percentage of risky choices. These findings suggest that spontaneous mind-wandering facilitates cognitive adaptability under uncertain environments, highlighting its adaptive role in learning processes.

The self-prioritization effect (SPE) refers to the preferential processing of self-relevant stimuli relative to those linked to others. Recent evidence suggests that even unfamiliar, external voices can elicit an auditory SPE once arbitrarily associated with the self, whereas it remains unclear whether this prioritization is modulated by stimulus valence. Across two experiments, the present study examined the prioritization of self-associated voices and the influence of prosodic valence on its magnitude. Experiment 1 adopted a voice-label matching task in which unfamiliar voices were associated with labels of the self, a friend, and a stranger. Self-associated voices were processed faster and more accurately, accompanied by faster evidence accumulation, relative to voices assigned to a friend or a stranger. Manipulating the prosodic valence of to-be-associated voices, Experiment 2 showed that positive prosodic valence enhanced the strength of auditory SPE. A larger self-prioritization was elicited in happy prosody than neutral prosody, and valence-related effects were confined to self-associated voices. Finally, explicit self-esteem was unrelated to self-bias, but positively associated with positive self-bias. Together, these findings demonstrate the robustness and flexibility of the auditory SPE, with its magnitude being amplified by positive valence. The dissociation between explicit self-esteem and self-bias highlights the multifaceted self-representations, while meaningful individual variation in positive self-bias underscores the important role of explicit self-esteem in self-positivity bias.

Sense of Agency (SoA) is the experience of control over one’s actions and, through them, events in the outside world. Experimental research indicates that SoA is inferred based on different agency cues. We investigated whether younger (18–28 years) and older (65–75 years) adults differ in their use of three of these cues, namely action-effect congruency, affective valence of the effect, and temporal relation between action and effect. In an experiment, participants first learned to associate keypresses with positively and negatively valenced effects (positive or negative smileys). Subsequently, participants performed the same keypresses. Keypresses were, after different intervals, followed by positive or negative smileys. Smileys were either congruent or incongruent with the previously acquired action-effect associations. Participants were told that the occurrence of a smiley was either caused by their keypress or was automatically generated by the computer independent of their keypress. In each trial, participants indicated how sure they are that they caused the effect (authorship rating). Authorship ratings were higher for congruent than for incongruent effects and for positively than for negatively valenced effects in both age groups. This indicates that the use of action-effect congruency and affective valence of the effect as agency cues are age-independent. Authorship ratings decreased with increasing action-effect interval in younger adults, but not in older adults. This indicates that older adults may rely less on temporal cues, presumably due to age-related differences in cue integration. In conclusion, temporal agency cues are used differently across different age groups.

The enfacement illusion occurs when synchronous multisensory correlations between a viewed face and one’s own face lead to the perception of illusory ownership, in which participants incorporate the viewed face’s physical and social features into one’s body representation. In this study, we examined whether young participants exposed to synchronous visuo-motor correlations with a virtual elderly face would perceive ownership of that face, exhibit subjective aging and executive function decline resembling physiological aging. Questionnaire and subjective age ratings confirmed that illusory ownership and agency were successfully induced for same-gender virtual elderly faces. Interestingly, however, synchronous multisensory correlations impaired performance in a cognitive-control task calling for metacontrol persistence (a Simon task), but not in cognitive-control tasks calling for flexibility (N-back task and task switching). These findings align with prior evidence that synchrony with another face/body facilitates the integration of external features into self-representation, and that this affects cognitive control; but they also demonstrate that the control functions being affected are specific to the type of embodiment.

Inattentional blindness (IB) refers to the failure to notice fully visible but unexpected stimuli when attention is focused on a demanding task. Such failures can place children at risk of injury when they overlook unexpected hazards in real-world situations, underscoring the importance of understanding how IB manifests in children. Given that perceptual and physical demands are often intertwined in daily activities, the present study examined children’s IB under concurrent perceptual load and physical exertion using a dual-task paradigm. Perceptual load was manipulated through a dynamic bounce-counting task that required monitoring either two or four moving letters (low vs. high perceptual load). Physical exertion was imposed via an isometric handgrip task at 20 % or 50 % of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). A total of 206 children (86 females; aged 10–13 years) were randomly assigned to perform the counting task only (i.e., rest condition) or concurrently with the handgrip task. Results revealed a significant main effect of perceptual load, with higher perceptual load leading to increased IB rates. However, physical exertion did not produce a significant main effect on children’s IB, nor did it interact with perceptual load. These findings highlight the primary role of perceptual load in shaping children’s IB, with concurrent physical exertion showing little additional impact.

The contrast between intellectual and emotional processes may be served by head-heart dualism, which is a folk model linking the head to intellectual processes and the heart to emotional processes. By linking two different processing styles to two different bodily regions, the self can be multi-faceted and, potentially, flexible in responding to the situation at hand. The present 3 experimental studies (total N = 563) pursue the potential consequences of head-heart dualism. In Study 1, drawing attention to the head (versus heart) led participants to think of ambiguous activities as more intellectual (emotional). In Studies 2 and 3, simulating oneself performing an intellectual or emotional activity shifted perceptions of where the self is located upward, toward the head, or downward, toward the heart. The findings highlight the manner in which head-heart dualism can give rise to rapid shifts in self-perception and social cognition that reinforce the intellectual-emotional distinction.

Current theories of autobiographical memory (AM) emphasise the involvement of several non-memory auxiliary processes, such as executive function and mental imagery. However, the contribution of these processes to AM retrieval under different circumstances remains poorly understood, particularly in the context of ageing. The extent to which different AM tasks rely on auxiliary processing could explain variability in age-related AM deficits across different contexts. The current study explores the effect of cues varying in format (words, questions, sentences, photos, and videos) and content (e.g., event cues, evaluative cues, imagery cues) on AM retrieval rates in young and older adults. In Experiment 1, young and older adults (n = 101) retrieved AMs in response to a set of 208 cues; dependent variables were the proportion of cues that produced a memory, and ratings of the characteristics of the retrieved memories. Results showed that retrieval rates were influenced by both cue format and cue content, with cues that most closely mapped the task requirements producing the largest proportion of memories, regardless of other cue features (e.g., detail, imagery). Study 2 collected data from a separate group of 106 adults concerning their interpretation of the same cues, and analysed the responses in relation to the data from Experiment 1. Both retrieval rates and memory characteristics were related to features of the cues, such as specificity, theme, and emotional content. Data suggested that less easily accessed memories tended to be more autobiographically important. All materials and data – including 2500 brief descriptions of participants’ autobiographical memories – are freely available for further exploration.
