Research on the neuropathological mechanisms underlying minor depression (MD), particularly in individuals with a history of recurrent minor depressive episodes, is very limited. This study focuses on the abnormality in processing real-life emotional stimuli among MD. Thirty-two individuals with MD and thirty-one normal controls (NC) were recruited...

Maintaining task-relevant information in working memory (WM) while preventing distraction from task-irrelevant information is essential for adaptive behavior. However, whether the task-irrelevant information is removed or retained in WM remains debated. This study addressed this controversy across two experiments employing a retrospectively cueing...

The selection of relevant information from internal memory representations involves both voluntary process directed by endogenous factors such as task goals or intentions, and involuntary susceptibility to exogenous factors like stimulus features. Previous research has shown that competition between these endogenous and exogenous factors delays int...

The visual perception system of humans is susceptible to cognitive influence, which implies the existence of cognitive perception. However, the specifical trigger for cognitive penetration is still a matter of controversy. The current study proposed that the cognitive processing priority over perceptual processing might be critical for inducing cog...

Visual stimuli previously associated with reward automatically capture attention when used as distractor, as shown by value-driven attentional capture (VDAC) effects. However, whether or not VDAC can also occur when attention is directed to internal information held in visual memory remains unclear. In two experiments, we compared VDAC for external...

Previous studies have explored the impact of the cost ratio of individual solutions versus collective solutions on people’s cooperation tendency in the presence of individual solutions. This study further explored the impact of team credibility on people’s propensity to cooperate in the presence of individual solutions. Study 1 investigated the inf...

Creative problem solving (CPS) is a particular mental process when people solve problems. Findings from previous research, which used functional MRI, showed that CPS could involve specific neural mechanisms. However, few studies have directly explored the changes of interhemispheric resting-state functional connectivity during CPS. Recently, a vali...
