Gender differences in artificial intelligence: the role of artificial intelligence anxiety Open
Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) is having a significant impact on people's lives. Despite the benefits associated with this technological advancement, there may be gender-related inequalities in accessing and using AI systems. Th…

Estimating the number of principal components via Split-Half Eigenvector Matching (SHEM) Open
Estimating the number of principal components to retain for dimension reduction is a critical step in many applications of principal component analysis. Common methods may not be optimal, however. The current paper presents an alternative …

Continuous Hopfield dynamics of semantic vector-based activation patterns predict variations of priming effects over items Open
Computational model-based semantic vectors, or word embeddings, provide a measurement of relationships between words. Semantic vectors could be combined with continuous Hopfield networks in an analogy of distributed representational models…

The societal-semantic dimension of mental disease: A computational-qualitative approach Open
Multiple frameworks exist for conceptualizing mental health. A complementary approach presented here uses computational semantic representations combined with explicitly qualitative interpretation. This provides a “society’s eye view” of m…

Cognitive training and remediation interventions for substance use disorders: a Delphi consensus study Open
Aims Substance use disorders (SUD) are associated with cognitive deficits that are not always addressed in current treatments, and this hampers recovery. Cognitive training and remediation interventions are well suited to fill the gap for …

Toward the nature of automatic associations: item-level computational semantic similarity and IAT-based alcohol-valence associations Open
Automatic associations involving alcohol have been proposed to play a role in drinking behavior. Such associations are often assessed using implicit measures such as the Implicit Association Test (IAT). Neural network language models provi…

The rise and fall of the dot-probe task: Opportunities for metascientific learning Open
Much of the extensive literature on spatial attentional bias is built on measurements using the dot-probe task. In recent years, concerns have been raised about the psychometric properties of bias scores derived from this task. The goal of…

Do Semantic Vectors Contain Traces of Biophilic Connections Between Nature and Mental Health? Open
Natural environments have positive effects on mental health, but the nature of this relationship requires further understanding. There may be psychosocial aspects of this relationship that are reflected in the semantic structure of languag…

Investigating habits in humans with a symmetrical outcome-revaluation task Open
The translation of the outcome-devaluation paradigm to study habit in humans has yielded interesting insights but proven to be challenging. We present a novel, outcome-revaluation task with a symmetrical design, in the sense that half of t…

An illustrative implementation of reflectivity emerging from temporal dynamics and learning history Open
Dual systems models have been highly influential and productive in generating research related to impulsive and reflective behaviour. However, there is also long-standing criticism of such models, and, in response, attempts have been made …

The relationship between self-traumatized and self-vulnerable automatic associations and posttraumatic stress symptoms among adults who have experienced a distressing life event Open
Convergent evidence supports a crucial role for dysfunctional appraisals in the development and maintenance of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, most research in this area has used self-report measures, assessing only explici…

Experimental control of conflict in a predictive visual probe task: Highly reliable bias scores related to anxiety Open
Concerns have been raised about the low reliability of measurements of spatial attentional bias via RT differences in dot-probe tasks. The anticipatory form of the bias, directed towards predicted future stimuli, appears to have relatively…

Effects of tDCS during inhibitory control training on performance and PTSD, aggression and anxiety symptoms: a randomized-controlled trial in a military sample Open
Background Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and impulsive aggression are linked to transdiagnostic neurocognitive deficits. This includes impaired inhibitory control over inappropriate responses. Prior studies showed that in…

Anticipated attack slows responses in a cued virtual attack emotional Sternberg Task Open
Threatening stimuli have varying effects, including reaction time (RT) increase in working memory tasks. This could reflect disruption of working memory or, alternatively, a reversible state of freezing. In the current series of experiment…

Attentional bias for negative expressions depends on previous target location: replicable effect but unreliable measures Open
Observability of threat-related spatial attentional biases may require previous-trial responses associated with threat-related locations. This carryover effect might affect reliability and correlations. In Study 1, a diagonalized Visual Pr…
