Negri, Attà; Castiglioni, Marco; Caldiroli, Cristina Liviana; Barazzetti, Arianna – Journal of Intelligence, 2022
Cognitive science has gathered robust evidence supporting the hypothesis that cognitive processes do not occur in an amodal format but take shape through the activation of the sensorimotor systems of the agent body, which works as simulation system upon which concepts, words, and thought are based. However, studies that have investigated the…

Di Sarro, Rita; Di Santantonio, Anna; Desideri, Lorenzo; Varrucciu, Niccolò – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2022
Background: Executive functions (EF) impairments have long been observed in children and youths with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Until very recently, little attention has been paid to examine EF profiles of adults with ASD. Given the importance of EF to cope with the demands of daily life and participate in society (e.g. maintaining an…

Virtala, Paula; Partanen, Eino; Kujala, Teija – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2021
Rules and regularities of language are typically processed in an implicit and effortless way in the human brain. Individuals with developmental dyslexia have problems in implicit learning of regularities in sequential stimuli, but the neural basis of this deficit has not been studied. This study investigated extraction and utilization of a complex…

Bathelt, Joe; Koolschijn, P Cédric M. P.; Geurts, Hilde M. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Face recognition is a fundamental function that requires holistic processing. Differences in face processing have been consistently identified in autistic children, but it is unknown whether these differences persist across the adult lifespan. Using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging, we measured holistic face processing with a…

Atmaca, Furkan; Baloglu, Mustafa – Gifted Child Quarterly, 2022
We compared the Wechsler scores of individuals with twice-exceptionality (2e) and giftedness using a three-level Bayesian meta-analysis. Ninety-five effect sizes were calculated from 15 studies (n = 2,106). Results show that individuals with 2e who have learning disabilities perform lower than individuals with giftedness in Full-Scale Intelligence…

Kaufman, Alan S. – Journal of Intelligence, 2021
U.S. Supreme Court justices and other federal judges are, effectively, appointed for life, with no built-in check on their cognitive functioning as they approach old age. There is about a century of research on aging and intelligence that shows the vulnerability of processing speed, fluid reasoning, visual-spatial processing, and working memory to…

Diaz, Michele T.; Yalcinbas, Ege – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
Although hearing often declines with age, prior research has shown that older adults may benefit from multisensory input to a greater extent when compared to younger adults, a concept known as inverse effectiveness. While there is behavioral evidence in support of this phenomenon, less is known about its neural basis. The present functional MRI…
