A recent study published in the Journal of Vision reveals that humans are better at estimating the motion of objects moving downwards compared to upwards, regardless of the direction relative to gravity. This new research suggests that our perception of downward-moving objects is enhanced by the congruence of their motion with the direction toward our legs rather than the influence of gravity detected through our inner ear. “Previous studies have shown that the people can catch a descending object more accurately than an ascending object. When people heard this asymmetric performance for catch...

Cell phones are often criticized for their disruptive impact on attention and cognition. But a recent study published in BMC Psychology has revealed a surprising effect: the presence of a cell phone actually appeared to improve reaction times in a specific cognitive task that required attentional shifts. Previous research has shown that even the mere presence of a cell phone can affect cognitive tasks by drawing attention away from the task at hand. However, the specifics of how cell phones influence attentional control, the ability to allocate cognitive resources to achieve specific mental go...

Every day, we are bombarded with a deluge of information, especially online, where news spreads faster than ever. But what kind of information do we choose to share, and why? A new study published in Scientific Reports explores this, revealing that people are more likely to share information that aligns with their beliefs, even if it isn’t particularly surprising. This challenges the common notion that novelty and surprise are primary drivers of information sharing. Information theory posits that the value of information is largely derived from its novelty or the surprise it generates. The mor...

Learning new skills involves intricate brain processes that scientists are still working to fully understand. A recent study published in the journal Brain Sciences examines how older adults learn motor sequences—such as playing a musical instrument—and how their cognitive and motor abilities support this learning over time. The research provides insights into the connections between mental and physical capabilities and their roles in learning new tasks. Previous studies have established that motor learning is not a one-size-fits-all process. Different types of motor learning—like learning to ...
