Article Abstract

This research utilised an icon-matching task and an oddball task to investigate the cognitive differences between skeuomorphic and flat icon styles in visual search among younger and older adults. The results of the icon-matching task revealed a significant main effect of age, with younger participants having shorter response times than older participants, and an interaction effect between icon style and age was observed. Moreover, correlation analysis indicated that icon-matching performance strongly correlated with participants' cognitive preferences. To further explore the impact of icon styles on age-related cognitive mechanisms, the oddball task results indicated that younger participants evoked larger P200 and P300 amplitudes for flat icons, while older participants for skeuomorphic icons. A stronger correlation between icon-matching performance and users' cognitive preferences corresponds to a more significant difference in the P200 and P300 amplitudes evoked by flat and skeuomorphic icons. This finding helps designers improve user experience across different age groups.

Language learning and use relies on domain-specific, domain-general cognitive and sensory-motor functions. Using fMRI during story listening and behavioral tests, we investigated brain-behavior associations between linguistic and non-linguistic measures in individuals with varied multilingual experience and reading skills, including typical reading participants (TRs) and dyslexic readers (DRs). Partial Least Square Correlation revealed a main component linking cognitive, linguistic, and phonological measures to amodal/associative brain areas.

Background: Migraine care is often suboptimal owing to undertreatment, variation in clinical outcomes and administration methods among existing treatments, and between- and within-individual heterogeneity in the clinical course of migraine. In response to these challenges, preference studies have been increasingly conducted to inform treatment decision-making and development. However, gaps remain in understanding how treatment preferences have been assessed across different migraine studies.

Although many animal species are known to learn to respond to human verbal commands, this ability is understudied, as are the cues used to do so. For the best-studied species, the dog, domestication itself is used to justify successful attending to human communicative cues. However, the role of domestication in sensitivity to human cues remains debated.

Postdiction is a perceptual phenomenon where the perception of an earlier stimulus is influenced by a later one. This effect is commonly studied using the 'rabbit illusion', in which temporally regular, but spatially irregular, stimuli are perceived as equidistant. While previous research has focused on short inter-stimulus intervals (100-200 ms), the role of longer intervals, which may engage late attentional processes, remains unexplored.
