When Pictures Hinder Understanding: Illustrations May Impede Learning of Abstract Ideas
Illustrations can help remember specific actions but do not always make abstract ideas easier to learn. Researchers from HSE University and Humboldt University compared how people learn from texts with different levels of abstractness. They found that participants remembered illustrations better and performed better on related tasks after reading a multimedia text about yoga asanas than after reading an abstract text about the Nash equilibrium. The findings could help improve the selection of illustrations for educational and informational materials. The study has been published in Learning and Instruction.

'I Wish That People Would Place Greater Trust in Science'
When Tatiana Eremicheva chose Fundamental and Computational Linguistics as her field of study, she thought it would be about learning languages. Instead, she discovered it was about helping people. In this interview for the HSE Young Scientists project, she discusses science as a way of understanding the world, billiards as a team-building activity, and why learning to read is not always as easy as it seems.

Immunity to Chaos: How Personal Resources Help Us Cope with the Challenges of a Turbulent World
International conflicts, crises and digital overload—the modern world puts our minds to the test every day. Traditional psychology often focuses on the consequences: anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic disorders. But what if we looked at the problem differently—through the lens of the resources that prevent us from breaking down? Psychological immunity is precisely this set of resources. Alena Zolotareva and her group, Psychological Immunity as a Resource for Positive Functioning, are developing an integrative model of this phenomenon, adapting diagnostic tools and preparing for large-scale empirical research. Why do psychologists need to collaborate with medical professionals, and how could their research transform preventive care in clinics and corporations?

Accuracy of Rats in Discriminating Visual Objects Is Explained by the Complexity of Their Perceptual Strategy

Current Biology. 2018. Vol. 28. No. 7. P. 1005–1015.
Djurdjevic V., Ansuini A., Bertolini D., Macke J. H., Zoccolan D.

As the popularity of rodents in the vision research continues to grow, some questions remain unanswered. One of the key questions is - can rodents perform a "proper" higher level vision task such as object recognition. In our paper we present the new research findings which demonstrate that, despite having much poorer visual abilities compared to humans or monkeys, rats are capable of advanced processing of shape information, making them an ideal candidate for investigating the neuronal underpinnings of visual object recognition and other high-level visual functions

Dynamic Pattern Analysis: Method Overview and Trajectory Assessment of Object Development
Myachin A. L., Procedia Computer Science 2026 Vol. 287 P. 193–200
We extend the static pattern analysis method to the temporal dimension by introducing a six-type trajectory taxonomy that classifies objects according to the frequency and structure of pattern switches over an observation window of T > 8 periods. For each object, a reference pattern is designated as the most frequently occupied group over the observation ...

Neural tracking of natural speech in children in relation to their receptive speech abilities
Rogachev A.O., Sysoeva O. V., Cognitive Systems Research 2024 Vol. 86 Article 101236
Receptive speech is the ability to understand speech addressed to a person. It is a crucial process for a child’s cognitive development. We examine the relationship between receptive speech and neural tracking of natural speech in 52 children aged 3–8 years to infer the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying speech development. We registered a 32-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) ...

Vague stimulating ideas, images and metaphors in scientific thinking: researchers' work with horizons of unclear knowledge
Poddiakov A., / Series Social Science Research Network "Social Science Research Network". 2026. No. 7437658.
Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

Semi-fragile image watermarking: A comprehensive survey, classification, and research directions
Melman A., Evsyutin O., Computer Science Review 2027 Vol. 63 (A) Article 101066
One of the effective means of protecting digital images is invisible watermarking. Different scenarios have different requirements for watermark resistance to post-processing. Robust watermarking schemes are resistant to a wide range of modifications. Fragile watermarking schemes are designed for integrity control and are destroyed by even minor modifications of images. Semi-fragile watermarking schemes combine features ...
