Summary: This study found that patients with schizophrenia have impaired vocal emotion perception. Furthermore, explicit and implicit vocal emotion perception processing in individuals with schizophrenia are viewed as distinct entities. This study provides a voice recognition tool to facilitate and improve the diagnosis of schizophrenia.

Summary: The future of psychological research will bring rapid methodological changes, such as the use of webcam-based eye tracking. Our study expands on previous research by investigating the impact of spatial error on researchers' abilities to study psychological phenomena. We found that online eye tracking data replicated most in-person results, but with smaller effect sizes. Online eye tracking also showed bias towards recording gaze points near the center of participants' screens, which could interfere with comparisons.

Summary: This study examined the moderating role of effort intensity in the relationship between affect and time perception using academic-related tasks and conditions. The findings suggest that task enjoyment is essential for perceiving time passing faster, regardless of different tasks and effort levels. Additionally, the relationship between task enjoyment and perceived speed of time is influenced by perceived effort.

Summary: Emotional well-being depends on the successful use of coping strategies to regulate affective responses. This study found that self-guided focused attention can reduce the impact of unpleasant pictures on negative emotions, suggesting that attentional control is important for improving emotional well-being.

Summary: Older adults have difficulty identifying emotions from facial expressions, but they are better at interpreting emotions from the mouth region. They rely more on information from the mouth and struggle with emotion perception when the mouth is covered.

Summary: This article provides a unifying perspective on perception and cognition by exploring linguistic representations of emotion. Certain types of linguistic representations allow for the integration of perception and cognition through cognitive systems, while others do not. Linguistic representations that encode emotions related to everyday objects, events, and things enable cognitive systems to be tuned to the outer world and guided by emotions, thus connecting perceptual and cognitive processes.

Summary: Pain has sensory, emotional, and cognitive components. This study found that electrical stimulation-induced pain affects temporal sensitivity and that pain-related emotional and cognitive factors are associated with the processing of time perception.

Summary: Emotions play a crucial role in our daily lives, with food being a significant source of emotional experiences. The interaction of different senses in creating emotional experiences with food is important, with multisensory integration and higher-order cognitive processes playing key roles in this emotional processing. The study emphasizes the necessity of a multisensory approach to understand how senses converge to create emotional experiences with food.

Summary: The neural face perception network is not clearly right lateralized, as measured by fMRI. The hemispheric lateralization in the core system regions varies greatly between individuals and there are no significant differences between different regions. The leftward shift of hemispheric lateralization in left-handers is not supported, except for specifically left-handed men with a significantly more left-lateralized fusiform face area.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of cultural background on the neural processes underlying empathy during the perception of complaints. The results show that prosody and cultural identity play critical roles in the empathic response to complaints.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the presence of spatial cognitive impairments in patients with acute unilateral peripheral vestibulopathy (vestibular neuritis, AUPV) during both the acute phase and the recovery phase. The results showed that during the acute phase, AUPV patients had worse performance in visuospatial memory compared to the healthy controls, while in the recovery phase, their cognitive performance improved significantly.

Summary: Previous research has shown that language processing is dominant in the left hemisphere, while emotional prosody processing is dominant in the right hemisphere during auditory language comprehension. Visuospatial attention studies have also indicated that listeners tend to focus more on the talker's face. When experiencing a stress response, listeners' language comprehension abilities are associated with physiological responses such as cortisol levels and blood pressure, and their visuospatial attention tends to be more focused on the left side of the face image.
