Abstract:Based on the intention to integrate the split and fragmentation of intelligence researches, a multiple integrative dynamic system circular openness (MIDSCO) paradigm is suggested, which can function as a meta-theory principle guiding theory construction, then, a corresponding MIDSCO-i intelligence theory is constructed, besides, a set of meta-theory criteria to justify a theory before any empirical test is administered are also established. MIDSCO-i intelligence theory is a systematic construct with five serial models in it, built up on the cognitive representation and cognitive process level, which can uniformly explain conflicting intelligence phenomena and integrate different intelligence theories. After that, the MIDSCO-i model is also demonstrated through both the theoretical verification and empirical testification. With regard of the theoretical verification approach, six meta-theory test criteria are set up and employed, and all these six pure theoretical test principles can be fit well by the MIDSCO-i model. As for the empirical test method, two logistic regression models are applied to gain a convergent confirmation, and the null hypothesis predicted from the MIDSCO-i is empirically testified. MIDSCO is initially supposed as a meta-theory paradigm to construct a systematical theory which can integrate the split and fragmentation situation in intelligence researches, theoretical and empirical test results show the corresponding MIDSCO-i intelligence model functions well. | |||

Abstract:Social science aims at investigating social realities which being there as a Social gestalt reality. Social gestalt reality is not the traditional pure stratified object, but an integration of stratified physical realities and hierarchical agent realities. Accordingly, complementary combinational revelation of that social gestalt is needed which comprises both explanation and interpretation, resulting in a complementary relation between them. | |||

Abstract:There are many competing and conflicting empirical research results from different studies in the Intelligence Differentiation field, existing theories and methodologies cannot explain and settle these competing conflicts well. This new original intelligence differentiation theory of Raw Material Conversion (RMC) is constructed in the hope that it can quench the conflicting results in this field, which includes a palm model and several mathematical models. In most intelligence differentiation reports, it seems that the cognitive psychological concepts are not their considerations, most of these researches seem only interested in psychometric and statistic techniques. But in the RMC model, some concepts from cognitive psychology, such as terminologies of representation, automatic process and control process etc., are considered as the key points of the conceptual explanation framework. Some relevant articles are randomly selected and are reviewed based on the RMC theory framework, to see whether the RMC theory can uniformly explain the conflicting results in these articles. Through the theoretical analyses, it proves that the RMC model works well, many puzzling, conflicting and competing study results in these articles can be uniformly explained and integrated by this RMC model. A hypothesis predicted according to the RMC theory is also empirically tested. The statistic result of correlation study shows the null hypothesis cannot be rejected, which corresponds with the prediction of the RMC, lending empirical support to the RMC. | |||

Abstract: Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an intermediate clinical state between normal aging and dementia. Non-pharmacological interventions like electroacupuncture and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) were demonstrated to be effective treatments for MCI. The proposal aims to compare the interventional effect by electroacupuncture and high definition tDCS (HD-tDCS) on MCI and to investigate and compare the default mode network alterations after the two interventional approaches. Methods: We will conduct a randomized patient- and assessor-blind, intervention-controlled trial to assess the effects differences and similarities between electroacupuncture and HD-tDCS on cognitive ability and brain functional connectivity of older adults with MCI. Sixty older adults meeting Petersen's MCI criteria will be randomly assigned to receive four-week either electroacupuncture or HD-tDCS intervention. Electroacupuncture group will receive electroacupuncture treatments by sterile, single use needle, 1-3 cm depth, 2 Hz with intensity of 5-10 mA. While HD-tDCS group will receive transcranial direct current stimulate with 1.5 mA on left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). Each intervention lasts 30 minutes, 5 times a week, 20 times in total. All the participants will have pre-test and post test, with neuropsychological assessments and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scan, and a four-month follow-up. Discussion: The results of this study will provide evidences for the intervention effect of electroacupuncture and HD-tDCS for MCI on both cognitive ability and brain functional connectivity. Moreover, the comparisons between these two approaches will also provide evidences for the differences and similarities across different non-pharmacological intervention methods. Trial registration: This trial is registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR). Registration number: ChiCTR-IOR-15007371. Registration date: 10 November 2015. | |||

Abstract:Using the old/new task and eye-tracking techniques, we explored the Asian individuals eye-movement patterns and behavioral performances of the own- and other-race faces recognition. In experiment 1, we investigated at which region Asian participants look when they were presented by the own- and other-race faces. Our findings reveal that the first fixations in both of the study phase and the test phase where located in eye region for both own- and other-race faces. In experiment 2, we manipulated participants' first fixations location. Results show that the ORE is still there when participants' first fixations located at the eye region of both the own- and other-race faces, but reduced when participants' first fixations located at the nose region of the faces. These findings indicate that the first fixation location in eye-movement is crucial for producing the ORE in face recognition. | |||

Abstract:The other race face effect (ORE) refers to the finding that participants have a better performance in tasks measuring recognition memory for novel own-race faces than that for other-race faces. Several cognitive procedures are involved in finishing one such task, and short-term memory is one of them. This study aims to find whether the other race face effect could be sensitive to short-term memory capacity in two experiments. In Experiment 1, a delayed match-to-sample probe task was conducted to measure the capacity of short-term memory for own- and other-race faces. The result showed that more own-race faces could be stored in STM than other-race faces. This finding was replicated in Experiment 2 where a simultaneously articulatory suppression task was added to the task used in Experiment 1.These results consistently demonstrate the ORE in STM, which indicates that short-term memory may have a crucial role in facilitating the other race effect in recognition memory. | |||

Abstract:The present study investigated whether the phonological mismatch-associated ERP effects are modulated by lexical status of the targets during spoken word recognition in Mandarin Chinese. Utilizing a unimodal auditory priming paradigm, the phonological similarities of the first syllables between the prime and target words/pseudowords were manipulated, with the same targets preceded by the identical, unrelated, or cohort primes (i.e., sharing the same initial syllables as the targets). An enhanced phonological P2 component between 200 and 270 ms post-target onset was elicited by word-initial mismatch in the unrelated conditions, and a centro-parietally distributed Late N400 was elicited in the cohort and unrelated conditions. Neither the P2 nor Late N400 was modulated by the lexicality of the targets. The effect of lexical status was only found for the Early N400, indicating the presence of concurrent phonological and semantic processes in the 350-450 ms time window. The current study provided further evidence for that the phonological P2 is an index of phonological processing load at the pre-lexical processing stage during spoken word recognition and is not modulated by semantic processes. | |||

Abstract:The time-varying property of neural circuits is genuinely true due to their underlying biophysical plasticity, but has not been fully studied in retrieving effective connectivity by Granger causality for fMRI time-series data. The impacts of the time-varying property on the results given by classical Granger causality were discussed rigorously and demonstrated numerically. Based on Granger causality with signal-dependent noise, a novel method was proposed to measure the time-varying information flow between brain regions based on the fMRI time-series data. The method was validated on numerical toy model and applied to the fMRI time-series data collected in a two party bargaining game. The information flow between the left rostral prefrontal cortex [rPFC, approximating the Brodmann area 10 (BA10)] to the right temperoparietal junction (rTPJ) were recovered by the proposed time-varying Granger causality with signal-dependent noise (GCSDNtv). The top-down information flow from BA10 to rTPJ was negatively correlated with a behavioural characteristic indicating the involvement of the executive function processes, while significantly greater bottom-up information flow was observed for the subjects who switched between different strategies being aware of the external changes in the bargaining game than those who employed a single strategy in all trails ignoring the environmental changes. | |||

Abstract:In a post-hoc analysis of fMRI data from a 2-party bargaining game we found that the effective connectivity between three regions of interest - the right temperoparietal junction (rTPJ), the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and left Brodmann area 10 (BA10) - was significantly modulated by strategic sophistication. In particular effective connectivity to and from the rTPJ showed a reversal when considering the most strategically sophisticated, vs. the least strategically sophisticated types, with information generally flowing from the rTPJ to the frontal regions in the sophisticated "strategists", and flowing from these frontal regions to rTPJ in the na?ve "incrementalists". The effective connectivity from the rTPJ to both frontal regions in this context highlights the importance of stimulus driven attention for strategic sophistication in this task. Conversely, the na?ve players tend to exhibit more rule-driven behavior, as reflected by the more top-down nature of their effective circuit. In order to assess the effective connectivity among these areas we utilized a novel adaptation of Granger causality that accounts for signal-dependent noise. We found that due to the prevalence of signal-dependent noise in fMRI data, this adaptation is critical, giving very different results than those found using classical Granger causality. | |||

Abstract:Many women wear high heeled shoes (HHS) on a daily basis to increase the femininity and attractiveness, making these shoes remain popular despite the negative effects surrounding HHS. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of heel height and HHS wearing experience on foot plantar pressure distribution and human stability limits. Thirty young and healthy female participants consisted of two groups, inexperienced and experienced high-heel wearers participated in a standing balance test to measure their foot plantar pressures and stability limits when they wore shoes of four different heel heights: 0cm (flat), 4cm (low), 7cm (medium), and 10cm (high). Experimental results showed that the increased heel height shifted the force and peak pressure from the heel and midfoot regions to the forefoot region and the center-of-pressure (COP) location moved forward and to the medial side of the foot. Human stability limits are worsened significantly, especially when the heel height reached 7cm. HHS wearing experience provided certain advantages to the wearers on plantar pressure distributions and the limits of stability, shown by larger excursions and better directional controls in the forward and back directions. | |||
