Summary: This study found that human speakers made equivalent perspective choices when describing target locations to imaginary human or robot addressees under different cognitive burden scenarios, but this choice was significantly correlated to their social skills only when the addressees were humans and not robots. This suggests that people generally assume robots and humans have equal capabilities in understanding spatial descriptions, but do not view robots as human-like social partners.

Summary: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health issue worldwide, and while guidelines typically recommend rest post-TBI, recent evidence suggests that exercise may enhance functional outcomes. Exercise has shown promise in improving cognitive recovery, mood disorders, and post-concussion syndrome in TBI patients, though challenges remain in clinical application and understanding the underlying mechanisms of exercise's benefits.

Summary: An important question in the study of canine cognition is how dogs understand humans. Evidence suggests that dogs are sensitive to the gaze and attention of others, and they might have the ability to take the perspective of others and understand their beliefs and intentions. Recent studies have shown that dogs can differentiate between human informants based on their visual access to information, and they can also understand and react to misleading suggestions.

Summary: Previous studies suggest that people automatically take into account others' perspective even when it hinders their own goals. This ability is crucial for understanding others' mental states and social interactions. However, the cognitive and emotional determinants of automatic perspective taking (APT) are still debated. This study examined the performance of 91 healthy adults in an APT task and found that individuals with lower attentional resources and increased impulsivity performed worse in the task and exhibited less responsiveness to egocentric and altercentric interference.

Summary: There is an increasing amount of research suggesting that pediatric mild traumatic brain injury (pmTBI) may lead to cerebral pathophysiological processes that extend beyond the usual clinical recovery timeline. This study used fMRI to examine neural processes related to cognitive control in 181 pmTBI patients at sub-acute and early chronic stages post-injury. The results showed alterations in neural functioning during cognitive control up to 4 months post-injury, regardless of clinical recovery.

Summary: Understanding and sharing others' emotions (i.e., empathy) requires the ability to manage one's own emotions (i.e., emotion regulation). Empirical evidence suggests a negative relationship between cognitive empathy and emotion dysregulation, while no significant relationship was found between affective empathy and emotion dysregulation.

Summary: This study investigated whether imitation-inhibition training can enhance perspective-taking in 3- to 6-year-old children. The results showed that imitation-inhibition training improved children's perspective-taking process, possibly by highlighting the distinction between self and other.

Summary: Individuals vary in their ability to shift between spatial perspectives, with those who have a harder time switching to an unnatural perspective being more likely to have lower anxious attachment. On the other hand, individuals who are better at returning to their natural perspective tend to have higher social intelligence. These findings suggest a strong connection between spatial perspective-taking, social intelligence, and adult attachment style. Further research is needed to explore the causal relationships between these factors.

Summary: This study investigated the different trajectories of social recovery and the influencing factors in children with traumatic brain injury (TBI) through long-term observation. The results showed that social recovery was linked to intact family and parent function, pre-injury adaptive abilities, post-injury cognition, and social participation. Factors related to social impairment included poor pre- and post-injury adaptive abilities, increased behavioral concerns, and deteriorated parent health and family function.

Summary: This study aimed to identify factors associated with impairments in functional school outcomes in children with pediatric acquired brain injury (pABI), with a specific focus on the significance of fatigue. The results showed that fatigue, IQ, global functioning, behavioral problems, and sex were potential predictors for functional school outcomes. Fatigue emerged as the strongest potential predictor for parent-reported and self-reported quality of life in school. The study suggests that personalized accommodations tailored to the child's specific function and symptoms, such as fatigue, are recommended for reintroduction to school after pABI.

Summary: There is strong evidence supporting the benefits of creatine supplementation on muscle function and health. Additionally, research suggests potential benefits for brain health, particularly in conditions with brain creatine deficits. More studies are needed to determine the optimal creatine protocol for increasing brain creatine levels and assessing cognitive function.

Summary: Research suggests that including an agent in spatial perspective taking tasks benefits performance, but the mechanisms behind this benefit are not well-understood. Directional cues are sufficient to improve performance, and agency does not provide additional benefit in the process.

Summary: This article describes a randomized controlled trial comparing Integrated Social Cognitive and Behavioral Skill Therapy (ISST) with Neurocognitive Remediation Therapy (NCRT) in Germany. The study aims to assess the efficacy of ISST in improving functional outcome in patients with schizophrenia. As part of the German Enhancing Schizophrenia Prevention and Recovery through Innovative Treatments (ESPRIT) research network, this trial will help identify optimal treatment options and understand factors influencing cognitive remediation effects.

Summary: Perspective-taking can be developed through joint actions, particularly in children engaging in musical activities. This study examined how rhythmic activities requiring coordination influence perspective-taking in referential communication tasks in Chinese children aged 4 to 6. The results showed that asynchronous and antiphase synchronous musical activities were more effective in promoting perspective-taking than synchronous activity.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether the use of ultrasound by emergency physicians improves the probability of first-attempt success for lumbar puncture in children. Results showed a slightly higher success rate in the ultrasound group compared to the standard procedure group, but the difference was not statistically significant. Therefore, routine use of ultrasound for performing lumbar puncture in children is not supported.

Summary: The study revealed that there is a short median delay between diagnosis and initiation of reduction for ileocolic intussusception patients at the pediatric hospital, especially among transferred patients and children with intravenous access prior to diagnosis. Complications from pneumatic reduction were infrequent.

Summary: The study retrospectively analyzed traumatic lumbar punctures in febrile infants <= 60 days old at two tertiary pediatric hospitals from 2006 through 2018. By using correction factors, half of the patients were safely reclassified with improved specificity in cerebrospinal fluid results. These corrections are helpful in enhancing the interpretative accuracy of traumatic lumbar puncture results.

However, there were no changes in the proportion of visits resulting in hospitalization for any of the four diagnostic categories.
