Summary: This study explores the potential ways to cultivate customer loyalty in fast-food restaurants by creating experiences based on auditory, gustatory, haptic, olfactory, and visual cues. The findings suggest that gustatory, haptic, and olfactory cues are effective in cultivating customer loyalty, while auditory and visual cues are not.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether triggering memory reactivation in sleep can facilitate the process of abstraction. The findings revealed that reactivating memory during REM sleep improved performance on abstraction problems, but not during SWS sleep. Interestingly, this improvement was not significant until a follow-up retest 1 week later, suggesting that REM sleep may initiate a sequence of plasticity events that take time to unfold.

Summary: This note examines the difference between metrics of positive scalar curvature and metrics of non-negative scalar curvature on a spin manifold, using the spectral theory of the Dirac operator as a main tool. It is shown that invariants based on the Dirac operator extend over the space of non-negative scalar curvature metrics, and that the inclusion of the space of positive scalar curvature metrics into that of non-negative scalar curvature is a weak homotopy equivalence under mild conditions.

Summary: The acceptability of polarity items in linguistic environments depends on reasoning inferences, and reasoning judgments can be altered by the presence of polarity items. There is a two-way influence between linguistic and reasoning abilities in the context of polarity items.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether observing someone moving to a rhythm can enhance auditory-motor coupling. The results revealed that introducing visual cues in regular rhythms did not enhance rhythmic priming and may hinder the effect.

Summary: This study aims to characterize the inferential reasoning of secondary school mathematics teachers when solving problems related to the Chi-square statistic. The theoretical proposal of levels of inferential reasoning effectively predicted teachers' practices, allowing for the distinction of characteristic elements of inferential reasoning levels.

Summary: Virtual reality environments offer opportunities to study the performance of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) in real-world contexts. Additional auditory cues have an impact on the processing of visual information, and multisensory integration is important for the performance of realistic BCI applications.

Summary: The research suggests that visual and auditory cues can enhance tactile sensation in virtual reality experiences, with auditory cues impacting tactile perception when observing virtual objects in motion. This indicates that auditory cues may have broader applications in facilitating haptic experiences compared to visual cues.

Summary: Background: Visual cues can improve gait in Parkinson's disease (PD), including those experiencing freezing of gait (FOG). However, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Objective: This study aims to examine visual exploration and gait with and without visual cues in PD patients with and without self-reported FOG, and healthy controls (HC). Results: PD patients had impaired gait compared to HC, and dual-tasking worsened gait variables in all groups. Visual cues improved stride length, foot strike angle, and stride time in all groups. Visual cueing also affected saccade frequency, peak velocity, and amplitude. Conclusion: Visual cues improved gait outcomes in PD and HC, with similar responses in freezers and non-freezers. The associations between cue-related changes in visual exploration and gait indicated different underlying visuo-cognitive processing in these subgroups.

Summary: Prior knowledge about the target improves visual search performance. There is a debate on whether knowledge about distractors can guide search. Some studies suggest the suppression of negatively cued items, while others suggest the initial capture of attention by such items. This study compares positive and negative cues presented pictorially and as text labels using eye movement measures. Positive cues result in stronger attentional guidance and faster object recognition for pictorial cues, but negative cues mitigate the pictorial advantage. These results partially support both existing theories.

Summary: Most existing visual reasoning tasks overlook the importance of transformation. In order to test the ability of machines to infer the dynamics between different states, we propose a novel transformation driven visual reasoning (TVR) task. We construct a synthetic dataset (TRANCE) based on CLEVR, and a real dataset (TRANCO) based on COIN, to evaluate the performance of recent visual reasoning models on different levels of tasks. Experimental results show that current models perform well on basic tasks, but still fall far behind human-level intelligence on tasks involving multiple-step transformations and real-world scenarios. This new research direction is expected to accelerate the development of machine visual reasoning.

Summary: This study demonstrates that reward value can continue to modulate perception even after reward delivery is halted, but stronger goal-driven control elicited by PC reward cues results in a more efficient balance between accuracy and speed of perceptual choices.

Summary: This study aims to gain insight into the acoustic cues used by listeners to judge auditory distance and observe if these strategies can be influenced by the listener's environment. Results from evaluating different distance-rendering models show that environmental cues have a significant impact on the perceived auditory distance of stationary sources.
