Music Therapy and Functional Music: How Worked with Mirror Neuron System
Authors: Liu Hangqi , Tian Siyu , Tan Huibing
Published: May 2023

Music therapy has been practiced in music and medical education for many years in China. Functional music is also widely used in many arenas and/or commercial places, etc. However, music therapy is not systematically accepted by national medical system. Some conservatories and medical schools in China also offer courses for bachelor and master degrees of music therapy, and music therapists in China work in clinical clinics and departments of rehabilitation in regular or children's hospitals, as well as independent music therapy clinics. However, many hospitals still have concerns or hesitate if it should conduct music therapy because there is no guideline for fees under administration by government in many places. In some specialized affiliated hospitals, music therapy has been established to work as alternative comprehensive treatment. However, due to the regulation of medical expenses, although music therapy is given to necessary patients, it is still low or even free of charge, at which the hospital cannot charge patients for the service of music therapy , and the fee-for-service of this treatment for music therapists( the salary for music therapists) are allocated by the hospital. And music therapy is not officially covered by health insurance. Briefly, with reviewed several textbooks of music therapy, we hypotheses that mirror neuron system may play potential role in music therapy. We also believe that the mirror neuron system plays important role in so called social brain. Compared with other countries, more effort should be made to carry out scientific research in music related with medicine and neuroscience in China institutes.
The Effects of Social Touch on Prefrontal Cortex Activity, Physiological Activity and Emotion Recognition.
Authors: Ali Hasan , Cordero Maria I
Published: May 2023

Emotion recognition (ER) is key for human social relationships. ER allows individuals to infer thoughts and actions from other people and allows individuals to act appropriately. Human neuroimaging studies have identified key areas involved in ER that form part of the ‘social brain’ network. Similarly, social touch is important for human social relationships and can communicate emotions like facial expressions. Interestingly, there is a convergence of mechanisms underlying social touch and ER. This study aimed to investigate the effects of social touch on ER, prefrontal cortex activity and physiological activity using functional near infrared spectroscopy, physiological measures and psychophysics. Results show that there was no effect of touch on ER in terms of accuracy and prefrontal cortex activity. Social touch did affect psychological activity. Implications for future research suggest that a larger sample size, amongst other measures, should be put in place and made a priority. Full details of results and implications are discussed in the study.
Inferring the truth from deception: What can people learn from helpful and unhelpful information providers?
Authors: Alister Manikya , Ransom Keith , Perfors Andrew
Published: May 2023

Sampling assumptions --- the assumptions people make about how an example of a category or concept has been chosen --- help us learn from examples efficiently. One context where sampling assumptions are particularly important is in social contexts, where a learner needs to infer the knowledge and intentions of the information provider and vice-versa. The pedagogical sampling assumptions model describes a Bayesian account of how learners and providers should behave given different assumptions they have about the other (e.g., is the provider trying to deceive or help me? Does the learner trust me?). In this study, we tested how well this model could describe learning behaviour in the rectangle game, where a fictional information provider revealed clues about the structure of a rectangle that the learner (a participant) needed to guess. Participants received clues from either a helpful information provider, a provider who was randomly sampling clues, or one of two kinds of unhelpful providers (who could mislead but could not lie). We found that people learned efficiently and in line with model predictions when the provider was helpful and that this was the case even when no cover story was provided. However, although participants could identify that unhelpful providers were not being helpful, they struggled to learn the strategy those providers were using.
“I would not want the mechanic to direct me to an engine repair manual”: A qualitative analysis of provider perspectives on low-intensity treatments for patients on waiting lists
Authors: Peipert Allison , Adams Sydney , Lorenzo-Luaces Lorenzo
Published: May 2023

Low-intensity treatments (LITs), such as bibliotherapy or online self-help, have the potential to reach more individuals than traditional face-to-face care by circumventing many of the common barriers to mental health treatment. Despite substantial research evidence supporting their usability and efficacy across a number of clinical presentations, prior work suggests that mental health providers rarely recommend LITs for patients waiting for treatment. The present study analyzed provider open responses about recommending LITs for patients on treatment waiting lists. We surveyed 141 practicing mental health providers, 65 of whom responded to an open text box with additional thoughts on using LITs for patients on treatment waiting lists. Responses were qualitatively coded using a thematic coding process which yielded 11 codes: patient appropriateness, research evidence, feasibility, patient barriers, liability, patient personal contact, additional resources, positive attitudes, trust in programs, systemic problems, and downplaying distress. Results suggest providers are predominantly concerned about the potential of suggesting a LIT that would be ultimately inappropriate for their patient due to a lack of assessment of the patient’s needs. Furthermore, providers noted ambiguity around the legal and ethical liability of recommending a LIT to someone who may not yet be a patient. Guidelines and standards for recommending LITs to patients on treatment waiting lists may help address ambiguity regarding their use in routine care.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Media comparison studies examining the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality in education have yielded inconclusive findings, leaving the question of its impact on learning compared to traditional educational settings unanswered. To address this issue, our study employs a novel approach that combines media comparison with an investigation on the influence of learner characteristics and broader educational context. Methods: In the experiment, 262 students from two distinct types of lower secondary schools—comprehensive school and multi-year gymnasium (a selective academic school)—participated. The students received a lesson on topography and contour line interpretation, using either an immersive virtual environment or a PowerPoint slideshow. A transfer test was carried out before, immediately after, and one month after the lesson to measure knowledge application. Results: The impact of the learning environment (immersive virtual reality vs. PowerPoint slideshow) on learning outcomes was found to be minimal, with no clear advantage of one over the other in any experimental condition. In contrast, a significant influence on learning gains was observed due to school type. Multi-year gymnasium students consistently outperformed comprehensive school students in the pre-test and demonstrated greater learning gains, regardless of the learning environment.Conclusion: The present study employs an innovative approach by integrating a comparative analysis of different media types with an investigation into the impact of learner characteristics. By including students from distinct types of schools, the study provides insights into the differential effects of immersive virtual reality in varied educational contexts.
Blocking of counter-partisan accounts drives political assortment on Twitter

Published: May 2023

There is strong political assortment of Americans on social media networks. This is typically attributed to preferential tie formation (i.e. homophily) among those with shared partisanship. Here, we demonstrate an additional factor beyond homophily driving assorted networks: preferential prevention of social ties. In two field experiments on Twitter, we created human-looking bot accounts that identified as Democrats or Republicans, and then randomly assigned users to be followed by one of these accounts. In addition to preferentially following-back copartisans, we found that users were 12 times more likely to block counter-partisan accounts compared to copartisan accounts in the first experiment, and 4 times more likely to block counter-partisan accounts relative to a neutral account or a copartisan account in the second experiment. We then replicated these findings in a survey experiment and found evidence of a key motivation for blocking: wanting to avoid seeing any content posted by the blocked user. Additionally, we found that Democrats preferentially blocked counter-partisans more than Republicans, and that this asymmetry was likely due to blocking accounts who post low-quality or politically slanted content (rather than an asymmetry in identity-based blocking). Our results demonstrate that preferential blocking of counter-partisans is an important phenomenon driving political assortment on social media.
First Impressions or Good Endings? Preferences Depend on When You Ask
Authors: Sinclair Alyssa Hannah , Wang Yuxi Candice , Adcock R. Alison
Published: May 2023

Rewards often unfold over time; we must summarize events in memory to guide future choices. Do first impressions matter most, or is it better to end on a good note? Across nine studies (N=569), we tested these competing intuitions and found that preferences depend on when rewards occur and when we are asked to evaluate an experience. In our “garage sale” task, participants opened boxes containing sequences of objects with values. All boxes were equally valuable, but rewards were either evenly distributed or clustered at the beginning, middle, or end of the sequence. First, we tested preferences and valuation shortly after learning; we consistently found that boxes with rewards at the beginning were strongly preferred and overvalued. Object-value associative memory was impaired in boxes with early rewards, suggesting that value information was linked to the box rather than the objects. However, when tested after an overnight delay, participants equally preferred boxes with any cluster of reward, whether at the beginning, middle, or end of the experience. Finally, we demonstrated that evaluating shortly after an experience led to lasting preferences for early rewards. Overall, we show that people summarize rewarding experiences in a non-linear and time-dependent way, unifying prior work on affect, memory, and decision-making. We propose that short-term preferences are biased by first impressions. However, when we wait and evaluate an experience after a delay, we summarize rewarding events in memory to inform adaptive longer-term preferences. Preferences depend on when rewards occur and when we first evaluate an experience.
AI chatbot responds to emotional cuing

Published: May 2023

Emotion has long been considered to distinguish humans from Artificial Intelligence (AI). Previously, AI's ability to interpret and express emotions was seen as mere text interpretation. In humans, emotions co-ordinate a suite of behavioral actions, e.g., under negative emotion being risk averse or under positive emotion being generous. So, we investigated such coordination to emotional cues in AI chatbots. We treated AI chatbots like human participants, prompting them with scenarios that prime positive emotions, negative emotions, or no emotions. Multiple OpenAI ChatGPT Plus accounts answered questions on investment decisions and prosocial tendencies. We found that ChatGPT-4 bots primed with positive emotions, negative emotions, and no emotions exhibited different risk-taking and prosocial actions. These effects were weaker among ChatGPT-3.5 bots. The ability to coordinate responses with emotional cues may have become stronger in large language models as they evolved. This highlights the potential of influencing AI using emotion and it suggests that complex AI possesses a necessary capacity for “having” emotion.
The influence of landmark visualization style on task performance, visual attention, and spatial learning in a real-world navigation task
Authors: Kapaj Armand , Hilton Christopher , Lanini-Maggi Sara , Fabrikant Sara Irina
Published: May 2023

Humans increasingly rely on mobile maps to facilitate everyday mobility. These omnipresent navigation aids deteriorate spatial learning by captivating users’ attention. Landmarks facilitate spatial learning, yet, how to saliently depict them on mobile maps for guided attention and facilitated visual matching between the map and the environment remains an open question. We conducted a real-world navigation study to assess how 3D landmark visualizations (realistic vs. abstract) influence visual attention and spatial learning. Spatial learning with realistic landmarks improved when wayfinders exhibited shorter fixations on the map. Realistic landmarks also supported spatial learning of low spatial ability wayfinders. Our findings call for landmark depiction on mobile maps that go beyond “one fits all” and is based on human-adaptive design guidelines.
What’s in a Sample? Epistemic Uncertainty and Metacognitive Awareness in Risk Taking
Authors: Olschewski Sebastian , Scheibehenne Benjamin
Published: May 2023

In a fundamentally uncertain world, sound information processing is a prerequisite for effective behavior. To the extent that information processing is subject to inevitable cognitive imprecision, decision makers should adapt to this imprecision and to the resulting epistemic uncertainty when taking risks. Here, we test this metacognitive ability in two experiments in which participants estimated the means of different number distributions from sequential samples and then bet on their own estimation accuracy. Results show that mean estimates were imprecise and this imprecision increased with a higher SD of the samples. Importantly, participants adapted their risk-taking behavior to this imprecision and hence deviated from the predictions of Bayesian models of uncertainty assuming perfect integration of information. To explain these results, we propose a cognitive model that combines Bayesian models of statistical uncertainty and metacognitive awareness of cognitive imprecision in the integration of information. Modeling results were robust to the inclusion of an empirical measure of participants’ perceived sample variability. In sum, we show that cognitive imprecision is crucial to understand risk taking in decisions from experience. The results further demonstrate the importance of metacognitive awareness as a cognitive building block for adaptive behavior under (partial) uncertainty.

A Theory-Informed Emotion Regulation Variability Index: Bray-Curtis Dissimilarity
Authors: Lo Tak Tsun (Edmund) , Van Lissa Caspar J. , Verhagen Maaike , Hoemann Katie , Erbas Yasemin , Maciejewski Dominique
Published: May 2023

Emotion regulation (ER) variability refers to how individuals vary their use of ER strategies across time. It helps individuals to meet contextual needs, underscoring its importance in well-being. The theoretical foundation of ER variability recognizes two constituent processes: strategy switching (e.g., moving from distraction to social sharing) and endorsement change (e.g., decreasing the intensity of both distraction and social sharing). ER variability is commonly operationalized as the standard deviation (SD) between strategies per observation (between-strategy SD) or within a strategy across time (within-strategy SD). In this paper, we show that these SD-based approaches cannot sufficiently capture strategy switching and endorsement change, leading to ER variability indices with poor validity. We propose Bray-Curtis dissimilarity, a measure used in ecology to quantify biodiversity variability, as a theory-informed ER variability index. First, we demonstrate how Bray-Curtis dissimilarity is more sensitive than SD-based approaches in detecting ER variability through two simulation studies. Second, assuming that higher ER variability is adaptive in daily life, we test the relation between ER variability and negative affect (NA) in three experience sampling method (ESM) datasets (total N = [70, 95, 200], number of moment-level observations = [5040, 6329, 14098]) At both the moment-level and person-level, higher Bray-Curtis dissimilarity predicted lower NA more consistently than SD-based indices. We conclude that Bray-Curtis dissimilarity may better capture moment-level within-person ER variability and could have implications for studying variability in other multivariate dynamic processes. The paper is accompanied by an R tutorial and practical recommendations for using Bray-Curtis dissimilarity with ESM data.
Measuring metacognition: A comprehensive assessment of current methods
Authors: Rahnev Dobromir
Published: May 2023

One of the most important aspects of research on metacognition is the measurement of metacognitive ability. However, the properties of existing measures of metacognition have been mostly assumed rather than empirically established. Here I perform a comprehensive empirical assessment of many common measures (meta-d’, M-Ratio, M-Diff, AUC2, Gamma, Phi, and ΔConf), as well as two recent model-based measures (meta-noise and meta-uncertainty). I also develop novel Ratio and Diff variants for the measures AUC2, Gamma, Phi, and ΔConf, resulting in a total of 17 measures of metacognition. To assess the measures, I develop a new method of determining the validity and precision of a measure of metacognition. In addition, I examine each measure’s dependence on task performance, response bias, and metacognitive bias, as well as each measure’s split-half and test-retest reliabilities. Finally, I examine the influence of trial number. Reassuringly, I find that all measures of metacognition investigated here are valid and most show similar levels of precision. Another reassuring finding is that all measures have very high split-half reliabilities for trial numbers over 100. However, the test-retest reliabilities are often very low with important implications for individual differences research. Finally, most measures show only weak dependence on response and metacognitive bias but many measures are strongly dependent on task performance. This comprehensive assessment paints a complex picture: no measure of metacognition is perfect and depending on the details of the experiment, different measures may be preferable. Based on these results, I make specific recommendations about the use of different measures.
Can Generative AI Improve Social Science?
Authors: Bail Christopher A.
Published: May 2023

Artificial intelligence that can produce realistic text,images, and other human-like outputs is currently transforming many different industries. Yet it is not yet known how such tools might transform social science research. In the first section of this article, I assess the potential of Generative AI to improve online experiments, agent-based models, and automated content analyses.I also discuss whether these tools may help social scientists perform literature reviews, identify novel research questions, and develop hypotheses to explain them. Next, I evaluate whether Generative AI can help social scientists with more mundane tasks such as acquiring advancedprogramming skills or writing more effective prose. In the second section of this article I discuss the limitations of Generative AI as well as how these tools might be employed by researchers in an ethical manner. I discuss how bias in the processes and data used to train these tools can negatively impact social science research as well as a rangeof other challenges related to accuracy, reproducibility,interpretability, and efficiency. I conclude by highlighting the need for increased collaboration between social scientists and artificial intelligence researchers--- not only to ensure that such tools are used in a safe and ethical manner, but also because the progress of artificial intelligence may require deeper understanding of theories of human behavior

Published: May 2023

Purpose. The main objective of the research is to increase the solar efficiency by improving the design of the solar collector through the use of terrestrial radiation. Methodology. Studies are based on physical modeling of heat and mass transfer in the solar collector. Results. The design of the solar thermal collector has been improved, which allows reducing the negative impact of cloudiness on the solar installation due to the additional use of terrestrial radiation, which is taken from the battery. The battery is exposed to the sun and its substance is heated to a temperature higher than the ambient temperature. The application of the proposed design makes it possible to stabilize the operation of the installation by installing a collector above the battery after the Sun has closed with clouds. The results of physical modeling proved the effectiveness of the method of combining types of thermal radiation, the efficiency increased by 3 times. The results of the experiments are analyzed and the effectiveness of the improved design of the solar collector is revealed. It is promising to use this type of solar thermal collector in solar heating systems and hot water supply in conditions of variable solar radiation. The proposed method of using a solar collector with a battery is able to provide hot water supply, and significantly reduce the consumption of traditional fuel and energy resources, which in turn can reduce the negative impact on the environment. Scientific novelty. For the first time, earth energy was used in conjunction with solar energy. Existing models of solar collectors have a common drawback, this is a limited and unstable heat production, which is affected by the duration and intensity of solar irradiation. The proposed design solves the problem of reducing productivity in cloud cover. Practical relevance. Many years of experience in operating solar collectors prove that using solar energy can save about 70% of traditional natural resources. It is promising to use this type of solar thermal collector in solar heating systems and hot water for domestic purposes
