Bilingualism alters children's frontal lobe functioning for attentional control

Bilingualism is a typical linguistic experience, yet relatively little is known about its impact on children's cognitive and brain development. Theories of bilingualism suggest that early dual‐language acquisition can improve children's cognitive abilities, specifically those relying on frontal lobe functioning. While behavioral findings present much conflicting evidence, little is known about its effects on children's frontal lobe development. Using functional near‐infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), the findings suggest that Spanish–English bilingual children (n = 13, ages 7–13) had greater activation in left prefrontal cortex during a non‐verbal attentional control task relative to age‐matched English monolinguals. In contrast, monolinguals (n = 14) showed greater right prefrontal activation than bilinguals. The present findings suggest that early bilingualism yields significant changes to the functional organization of children's prefrontal cortex for attentional control and carry implications for understanding how early life experiences impact cognition and brain development.     

Reference directions and reference objects in spatial memory of a briefly viewed layout

Two experiments investigated participants' spatial memory of a briefly viewed layout. Participants saw an array of five objects on a table and, after a short delay, indicated whether the target object indicated by the experimenter had been moved. Experiment 1 showed that change detection was more accurate when non-target objects were stationary than when non-target objects were moved. This context effect was observed when participants were tested both at the original learning perspective and at a novel perspective. In Experiment 2, the arrays of five objects were presented on a rectangular table and two of the non-target objects were aligned with the longer axis of the table. Change detection was more accurate when the target object was presented with the two objects that were aligned with the longer axis of the table during learning than when the target object was presented with the two objects that were not aligned with the longer axis of the table during learning. These results indicated that the spatial memory of a briefly viewed layout has interobject spatial relations represented and utilizes an allocentric reference direction.     

试论网络视域中的宗教传播——以佛教网站为例

本文以佛教网站为例讨论网络视域中的宗教传播.认为佛教网站就是有独立域名、独立服务器、独立IP地址或虚拟主机的以传播、交流、弘扬佛教教义、佛教文化、佛教精神为主旨的网站;而且,现有的佛教网站,虽然主体上多属宗教的网络化,但其局部也正在具有在线宗教的某些特质.以此,作为网络传播之主体的网站主办者便应以最大化宗教的积极功能为第一要务.     

字素-音素与词体-尾音对中国人英语语音加工的影响

研究采用命名任务,探讨了字素-音素对应规则与词体-尾音对应规则在英语假词和中高频真词读音中的作用.结果发现,中国被试同时采用字素-音素对应规则与词体-尾音对应规则命名假词和中高频真词,但是字素-音素对应规则对假词命名更重要.

正一道天师传承制度初探

稳定有效的宗教领袖产生制度对宗教组织的生存发展至关重要,本文通过对历代正一道天师传承关系的分析之后认为,该宗教传承制度具有四个显著特征:鲜明的差序格局;神圣与世俗的双重合法性基础;纳入国家职官管理范围;实行信物制度。天师传承制度保持了连续性和稳定性,是因为建立了良好的保障机制,即外在政权认可与扶植、民众心理与社会舆论支援以及内在宗教组织与制度支撑。     

孟子德性论的思维理路与儒家哲学认识和把握世界的基本方式

从性、天统一的德性论,到“德教”、“成德”的德性生成论,再到以德行仁的仁政学说,呈现出了孟子道德形上学的基本理路和环节。这一思维理路反映了中国哲学、尤其是儒家哲学认识和把握世界的基本方式。     

动态和静态条件下内隐时间的存在和特征

采用2×2×2混合实验设计,使用具体和抽象两种不同性质的图形材料对动态和静态两种条件下内隐时间的存在及其特征进行了考察,结果表明：（1）动态条件下被试对抽象图形的位置偏移判断更为准确;（2）测试图形与识记图形之间位置偏移判断的错误率在测试图形与诱导图形内隐运动方向一致的条件下比不一致条件下大;（3）无论实验材料为具体图形还是抽象图形,被试对测试图形和识记图形的位置偏移判断错误率之间不存在差异。研究结果证明了内隐时间的存在,进一步探明了内隐时间具有方向性和认知不可渗透性的特点,并证明了运动范式为研究内隐时间及其特点的有效方法。     

中学生考试焦虑与元担忧

使用元担忧问卷,对1152名中学生的元担忧及其与考试焦虑之间的关系进行了研究。中学生的元担忧项目共有5个类型的：社会评价、考试过程、家庭冲突、前途命运和父母状况。对考试焦虑贡献显著的元担忧项目有18个,涉及到所有5个方面,家庭和考试过程是中学生元担忧的2个主要来源。男女学生共有的元担忧项目有8个,家庭和考试过程家是初中和高中学生共同的主要元担忧来源,但是,考试过程因素更可能构成男生元担忧的来源,社会评价更可能构成女生的元担忧来源。初中、高中学生共有的元担忧项目有9个,也涉5个方面,家庭冲突和考试过程仍然是二者的主要来源,但是,初中学生更倾向于出现对结果期望的元担忧,高中学生则更倾向于出现对将来工作的元担忧     

自伤青少年的冲动性

以自我报告、行为学和脑电为指标, 检验自伤青少年的冲动性。研究1, 对820名普通中学生和72名工读生进行问卷调查, 探讨自伤行为与情绪调节困难、冲动性的关系。结果表明, 冲动性能够预测自伤行为, 且预测效应量大于情绪调节困难。研究2, 采用Go/Nogo范式的ERPs实验, 检验自伤组与对照组冲动控制的行为学与脑电差异。结果表明, 自伤组Nogo正确反应的N2波幅显著高于对照组, N2潜伏期在部分电极点处高于对照组。脑电地形图显示两者的脑电差异主要体现在前额叶区。结论：自伤青少年的冲动性高于同龄普通青少年。
