Integrating the Attentional Gate Model (AGM) and Internal Clock Model (ICM), we examined how emotional valence and stress alter perceived duration in Virtual Reality (VR). This study assesses the effects of valence (calming, neutral, stressful) and stress (low/high) on prospective time estimation, mood, and arousal. Methods: Fifty-four adults (18–39 yr) explored three custom VR environments: (1) a tranquil Japanese garden, (2) an affectively neutral room, and (3) a threatening underground sewer. Active navigation promoted presence; a distraction task separated conditions. Valence and arousal were assessed with the Visual Analog Mood Scales, stress with the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10), and perceived duration with a verbal estimation task. Mixed-model ANOVAs evaluated main and interaction effects. Results: Valence reliably shaped perceived duration: calming VR led to overestimation, stressful VR to underestimation, and neutral VR to intermediate timing. Baseline stress level, as measured by PSS-10, neither altered timing nor interacted with valence. Nevertheless, the VR environments affected VAMS’ mood metrics: calming environments elevated mood and reduced perceived stress, whereas stressful environments lowered mood and heightened stress. Conclusions: Findings support the AGM—attentionally demanding negative environments shorten perceived time—and the ICM—valence-linked arousal speeds or slows the pacemaker. Contrary to classical predictions, in VR, baseline stress did not distort duration, suggesting valence-driven attentional allocation outweighs pre-exposure stress levels. VR offers a controllable platform for dissecting time-perception mechanisms and advancing interventions that target emotion-related temporal distortions.",2025-05-11T23:02:04.032818,2025-05-11T23:18:04.814530,2025-05-11T23:07:41.005011,,,psyarxiv,1,pending,1,1,https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/63rek_v1,CC-By Attribution 4.0 International,Attentional Gate Model; Internal Clock Model; attention; emotion; perception; time perception; virtual reality,"[""Attentional Gate Model"", ""Internal Clock Model"", ""attention"", ""emotion"", ""perception"", ""time perception"", ""virtual reality""]",Kyriaki Syrigou; Marina Stoforou; Panagiotis Kourtesis,"[{""id"": ""8cv5u"", ""name"": ""Kyriaki Syrigou"", ""index"": 0, ""orcid"": null, ""bibliographic"": true}, {""id"": ""cghpb"", ""name"": ""Marina Stoforou"", ""index"": 1, ""orcid"": null, ""bibliographic"": true}, {""id"": ""jpw59"", ""name"": ""Panagiotis Kourtesis"", ""index"": 2, ""orcid"": ""0000-0002-2914-1064"", ""bibliographic"": true}]",Kyriaki Syrigou,Engineering Psychology; Neuroscience; Social and Behavioral Sciences; Cognitive Neuroscience; Cognitive Psychology,"[{""id"": ""5b4e7424c6983001430b6c1a"", ""text"": ""Engineering Psychology""}, {""id"": ""5b4e7425c6983001430b6c1b"", ""text"": ""Neuroscience""}, {""id"": ""5b4e7425c6983001430b6c1e"", ""text"": ""Social and Behavioral Sciences""}, {""id"": ""5b4e7425c6983001430b6c23"", ""text"": ""Cognitive Neuroscience""}, {""id"": ""5b4e7427c6983001430b6c8c"", ""text"": ""Cognitive Psychology""}]",https://osf.io/download/68212c789d0b8f62f0eadf5e,0,,,,null,,2025-05-12T00:11:29.213963 63pbj_v1,Neurocognitive Seam Interfaces Linking Social Roles and Autonomous Sub-Personality Modules within the RAMSD Framework,"**Objective:** This paper introduces and extends the concept of seam interfaces—neurocognitive transition zones mediating the dynamic interaction between externally imposed social roles and internally activated sub-personality modules—within the framework of the Role-Autonomy Model of Sub-Personality Dynamics (RAMSD). **Theoretical Approach:** Seam interfaces are conceptualized as adaptive hubs of inter-network connectivity, primarily involving the Default Mode Network (DMN), Salience Network (SN), and Executive Control Network (ECN), which orchestrate the switching, integration, and conflict resolution mechanisms between autobiographical identity and contextually cued behavior. This framework integrates contemporary neuroscience of selfhood, embodied cognition, affective regulation, and clinical observations in trauma, dissociation, and role rigidity. **Propositions:** Dysfunctional seam activity gives rise to measurable disturbances in cognitive-affective integration, manifesting as role dissociation (disconnection between action and self), sub-personality stagnation (inflexibility despite context), and neuro-emotional block (affective shutdown or dissonance). These syndromes are behaviorally and neurologically tractable. **Implications:** The model informs the design of experimental protocols (e.g., ERP-based role-switching tasks), development of psychometric instruments, agent-based simulations of identity adaptation, and novel therapeutic interventions targeting inter-network coherence and role fluidity through neurofeedback, cognitive reframing, and embodied integration techniques. *Note: This theoretical model is presented for exploratory and conceptual purposes. It does not constitute a clinical diagnostic tool or therapeutic protocol and is not intended to replace any established mental health frameworks (e.g., DSM-5 or ICD-11).

Drawing on cognitive neuroscience, learning theory, and memory systems research, we argue that widespread underuse of the brain’s declarative and procedural systems has weakened internal representations—schemata—that are essential for reasoning, intuition, and expertise. We examine how shifts toward digital dependency and constructivist educational models have reduced opportunities for repeated retrieval, proceduralization, and the formation of robust engrams and neural manifolds. These trends disrupt the consolidation and automatization of biologically secondary knowledge, impairing schema-driven prediction, error correction, and transfer. We propose that the weakening of these memory systems—long before neurodegeneration sets in—may explain recent cognitive declines more plausibly than purely environmental or genetic accounts. The chapter closes by outlining implications for cognitive theory, educational practice, and AI-era learning environments. Rather than viewing memory as outdated in a world of instant information access, we argue that internal knowledge remains foundational for deep learning and that cognitive augmentation requires—not replaces—biological memory.",2025-05-11T22:11:07.756628,2025-05-11T22:14:41.545934,2025-05-11T22:14:31.804094,,,psyarxiv,1,pending,2,1,https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/3xye5_v2,CC-By Attribution 4.0 International,Cognitive offloading; Engram; Flynn Effect; Intelligence decline; Memory; Schema formation; artificial intelligence; genAI; neuroscience of education,"[""Cognitive offloading"", ""Engram"", ""Flynn Effect"", ""Intelligence decline"", ""Memory"", ""Schema formation"", ""artificial intelligence"", ""genAI"", ""neuroscience of education""]",Barbara Oakley; Michael Johnston; Kenzen Chen; Eulho Jung; Terrence J.

The theory introduces the concept of both micro (daily) and macro (developmental) defragmentation cycles, offering a model for how the brain shuffles memory and behavioral data for functional adaptation.

Here, we present results of an exploratory computational-acoustic model where changes to F3 are interpreted in relationship to changes to vocal tract area transfer function of a large sample (N = 10,000) of systematically varied tube model sequences. The results show a consistent pattern: constriction at the front of the vocal tract, followed by an open area and a secondary constriction, systematically shapes F3. This pattern aligns with acoustic signatures of both rounding and rhoticity, without presupposing phonological categories.

In the present paper I propose and validate a framework for predicting early success in CM treatment using a large CM dataset consisting of over 800 participants. Within that framework I develop models to predict CM treatment outcomes using only data from intake questionnaires and the prediction of early treatment success. The best performing model for predicting early treatment success achieved a receiver operating characteristic area under the curve (ROC-AUC) score of 0.83.

The question of how should ChatGPT and similar Gen AI tools be incorporated into the education and training of teachers is one of the urgent priorities for global research. This study examines Finnish pre-service teachers’ readiness, experiences, and behavioral intentions regarding Gen AI adoption in their learning and teaching practices. Using a mixed-methods approach, we analyzed quantitative survey data alongside qualitative responses, focusing on AI usage patterns, perceived usefulness, and challenges. Findings indicate a significant gap in Gen AI adoption, with 27% of participants having never used Gen AI tools at the time of survey (April-June, 2024), while the majority engaged sporadically. Despite low perceived accuracy, frequent users continued using Gen AI, suggesting that usability, efficiency, and creative support outweigh accuracy concerns in adoption decisions. Ideation and content creation were the most common Gen AI-supported tasks, whereas self-regulated, personalized learning, and prompt refinement remained underutilized, indicating a lack of awareness or confidence in Gen AI’s broader potential. Challenges primarily related to AI-generated output quality and prompting difficulties, with users preferring to modify AI outputs rather than refine prompts to improve responses. Strategies such as output modification and external verification were employed, though critical evaluation was not always explicitly stated. These findings highlight the need for structured AI literacy training, emphasizing prompt engineering, evaluative judgment, and strategic AI integration in teacher education. This study underscores the importance of developing Gen AI competencies among pre-service teachers to ensure effective, responsible, and pedagogically meaningful AI adoption. Future research should explore longitudinal AI adoption trends, cross-cultural comparisons, and the impact of AI literacy training on teaching practices.",2025-05-11T17:31:13.465227,2025-05-11T17:44:02.147438,2025-05-11T17:43:32.531985,,,psyarxiv,1,pending,1,1,https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/3aygt_v1,CC-By Attribution 4.0 International,gen ai; generative ai; readiness; teacher education; technology adoption,"[""gen ai"", ""generative ai"", ""readiness"", ""teacher education"", ""technology adoption""]",Phuong Bui; Tiina Korhonen; Sini Kontkanen; Sorella Karme; Satu Piispa-Hakala; Marjaana Veermans,"[{""id"": ""uej6s"", ""name"": ""Phuong Bui"", ""index"": 0, ""orcid"": ""0000-0001-9278-0515"", ""bibliographic"": true}, {""id"": ""2meyq"", ""name"": ""Tiina Korhonen"", ""index"": 1, ""orcid"": null, ""bibliographic"": true}, {""id"": ""bvtqx"", ""name"": ""Sini Kontkanen"", ""index"": 2, ""orcid"": null, ""bibliographic"": true}, {""id"": ""26w97"", ""name"": ""Sorella Karme"", ""index"": 3, ""orcid"": null, ""bibliographic"": true}, {""id"": ""q8whs"", ""name"": ""Satu Piispa-Hakala"", ""index"": 4, ""orcid"": null, ""bibliographic"": true}, {""id"": ""gvztx"", ""name"": ""Marjaana Veermans"", ""index"": 5, ""orcid"": null, ""bibliographic"": true}]",Phuong Bui,Social and Behavioral Sciences; Industrial and Organizational Psychology; Social and Personality Psychology; Quantitative Methods; Perception; Educational Psychology; Experimental Design and Sample Surveys,"[{""id"": ""5b4e7425c6983001430b6c1e"", ""text"": ""Social and Behavioral Sciences""}, {""id"": ""5b4e7425c6983001430b6c22"", ""text"": ""Industrial and Organizational Psychology""}, {""id"": ""5b4e7425c6983001430b6c34"", ""text"": ""Social and Personality Psychology""}, {""id"": ""5b4e7426c6983001430b6c41"", ""text"": ""Quantitative Methods""}, {""id"": ""5b4e7427c6983001430b6c71"", ""text"": ""Perception""}, {""id"": ""5b4e7427c6983001430b6c8b"", ""text"": ""Educational Psychology""}, {""id"": ""5b4e7427c6983001430b6ca1"", ""text"": ""Experimental Design and Sample Surveys""}]",https://osf.io/download/6820df2d57a1f80d5eeae128,0,,not_applicable,no,[],,2025-05-12T00:11:29.215356
