Summary: Using the control of fetching movements in octopus as an example, this paper argues for the acceptance of both representational and non-representational explanations in cognitive science. Different cognitive processes may require different explanatory frameworks, and it is important to choose accordingly.

Summary: This study, based on a large-scale transportation survey, utilizes logistic regression to analyze the impact of social ties on low-carbon travel behavior in the context of Chinese culture. Findings include the influence of household head on family members' cultural awareness and resource level, as well as the impact of community low-carbon atmosphere on members' low-carbon travel behavior.

Summary: This study showed that in veterans, expressive suppression (ES) is significantly associated with the diagnosis of current PTSD and its symptom clusters, while cognitive reappraisal (CR) is not. Greater suppression of emotional expression is more strongly linked with meeting PTSD criteria in veterans, whereas decreased cognitive reappraisal is not associated with it.

Summary: This study investigates mental representations of objects undergoing state changes, finding that individuals tend to remember the changes as more extreme than they actually were. This pattern applies to various types of state changes and aligns with their natural trajectories in state space.

Summary: This study validated a novel method for mapping cortical representations of sensory afferents of the human back. The findings demonstrate significant differences in neural representations between high-frequency and low-frequency stimulation, as well as between thoracic and lumbar paraspinal locations, indicating different encoding of sensations in different body parts and frequencies.

Summary: The posterior cerebellum plays a role in dynamic social cognition by building representations and predictions about sequences in social interactions. This study examined violations of social expectations during human interaction and found that they activate the posterior cerebellum and other cortical mentalizing regions. In contrast, violations of non-social expectations recruited different brain regions including cerebellar lobules IV-V, the action observation network, and the parahippocampal gyrus.

Summary: This study presents a redesign process for a successful MOOC course, based on learning-science principles. The course not only teaches about learning, but also practices effective learning experiences. The redesign addresses issues in online learning and provides a model for digital learning in other areas.

Summary: Research shows that managers often lack guidance and training on one-on-one meetings with their employees. Insufficient frequency or poor management of these meetings can lead to team members feeling disconnected. However, when conducted effectively, these meetings can improve team efficiency, build trust, and enhance employee experience and motivation. Successful one-on-ones are characterized by a focus on the direct report's concerns, ensuring the meetings take place, creating a space for genuine conversation, and providing support.

Summary: The study found that mindfulness predicts the occurrence of action crises, and this relationship is mediated by goal motivation and emotion regulation. The results reveal the mechanism through which mindfulness influences action crises.

Summary: Bi-stable perception is an important instance of cognitive self-organization that provides insights into the decision-making process of the brain. Current research suggests that bi-stable perception involves activities in multiple brain regions and frequency bands and requires a fast neural coordination mechanism. However, there is a scarcity of integrative studies on this process.
