In recent decades, the scientific study of consciousness has significantly increased our understanding of this elusive phenomenon. Yet, despite critical development in our understanding of the functional side of consciousness, we still lack a fundamental theory regarding its phenomenal aspect. The phenomenal aspect of consciousness is the first-person answer to what it is like question, and it has thus far proved recalcitrant to direct scientific investigation. The question of how the brain, or any cognitive system, can create conscious experience out of neural representations poses a great conundrum to science. Naturalistic dualists argue that it is composed of a primitive, private, nonreductive element of reality. Illusionists, on the other hand, argue that it is merely a cognitive illusion. We contend that both the dualist and illusionist positions are flawed because they tacitly assume consciousness to be an absolute property that does not depend on the observer. We developed a conceptual and a mathematical argument for a relativistic theory of consciousness in which a system either has or does not have phenomenal consciousness with respect to some observer. According to the theory, Phenomenal consciousness is neither private nor delusional, just relativistic. In the frame of reference of the cognitive system, it will be observable (first-person perspective) and in other frame of reference it will not (third-person perspective). These two cognitive frames of reference are both correct, just as in the case of an observer that claims to be at rest while another will claim that the observer has constant velocity. Neither observer position can be privileged, as they both describe the same underlying reality.","source":"arXiv","year":2025,"language":"en","subjects":["q-bio.NC"],"doi":"10.3389/fpsyg.2021.704270","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.07247","pdf_url":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2502.07247","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"2025-02-11T04:29:43Z","score":69},{"id":"arxiv_2505.00003","title":"A Review of Incorporating Psychological Theories in LLMs","authors":[{"name":"Zizhou Liu"},{"name":"Ziwei Gong"},{"name":"Lin Ai"},{"name":"Zheng Hui"},{"name":"Run Chen"},{"name":"Colin Wayne Leach"},{"name":"Michelle R.

The goal was to assess whether this intervention could boost the quality of therapist-patient alliances, as compared to a control group. To measure this, therapists had their patients anonymously fill out the Session Alliance Inventory both before and after the course. The trial encompassed 120 patient alliance ratings at baseline and 64 at the post-course measurement. The DP course was comprised of a 75-minute remote video workshop each week for eight weeks, supplemented by related study materials. Each workshop focused on a specific skill, such as responding to client resistance, and included 55 minutes of concentrated role-play activities, providing ample opportunities for repetition and feedback.

The majority of this research involves laboratory-based events (e.g., word lists) that are studied and tested within minutes. This literature shows that adults recall events in a temporally organized way, with successive responses often coming from neighboring list positions (i.e., temporal clustering) and with enhanced memorability of items from the end of a list (i.e., recency). Temporal clustering effects are so robust that temporal organization is described as a fundamental memory property. Yet relatively little is known about the development of this temporal structure across childhood, and even less about children’s memory search for real-world events occurring over an extended period. In the present work, children (N = 144; 3 age groups: 4–5-year-olds, 6–7-year-olds, 8–10-year-olds) took part in a 5-day summer camp at a local zoo. The camp involved various dynamic events, including daily animal exhibit visits. On day 5, children were asked to recall all the animals they visited. We found that overall recall performance, in terms of number of animals recalled, improved steadily across childhood. Temporal organization and recency effects showed different developmental patterns. Temporal clustering was evident in the response sequences for all age groups and became progressively stronger across childhood. In contrast, the recency advantage, when characterized as a proportion of total responses, was stable across age groups. Thus, recall dynamics in early childhood parallel that seen in adulthood, with continued development of temporal organization across middle to late childhood.","source":"DOAJ","year":2023,"language":"","subjects":["Consciousness.

We show that testing the response replicability effect (RRE) in cognitive psychology is equivalent to testing nondistributivity -- under the prevailing conjecture that the mental state update generated by observation is described as orthogonal projection of the mental state vector (the projective update conjecture of Wang and Busemeyer). A simple test of RRE is suggested. In contrast to the previous works in quantum-like modeling, we proceed in the state-dependent framework; in particular, distributivity, compatibility, and RRE are considered in a fixed mental state.

This study thus develops a visual information adoption unimodel (VIAUM), to explore the relationship between visual aesthetics and social commerce intentions. Users with social commerce experience are invited to complete our online survey, and 321 valid data are collected. The results reveal that visual aesthetics has direct and indirect (via perceived usefulness) effects on the social commerce intention of users. Besides, interdependent self-construal (InterSC) strengthens the direct effect between visual aesthetics and social commerce intention. In contrast, independent self-construal weakens the mediation effects of perceived usefulness. This study is among the first attempts to empirically examine the intervening mechanism and boundary conditions between the visual aesthetics of self-presentation of micro-celebrity and the social commerce intention of consumers.","source":"DOAJ","year":2021,"language":"","subjects":["Psychology"],"doi":"10.3389/fpsyg.2021.700180","url":"https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.700180/full","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"","score":65}],"total":1714005,"page":1,"page_size":20,"sources":["arXiv","CrossRef","DOAJ"],"query":"Psychology"}
