‘Balkan Hospitality Opens Doors: Studying Dialects on the Verge of Extinction
You cannot study spoken dialects from books. Instead, you need to go to a village, seek out its elders, and earn the trust of local residents before you can record hours of spontaneous stories. This is how Natalia Muravleva, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Humanities, conducts her research. Her internship in Serbia continued her long-standing study of dialects spoken by Macedonian settlers. In this interview, she discusses how diaspora cultural centres help researchers reach informants, why native speakers need to be interviewed only in their own language (otherwise, as she puts it, they may 'break'), and how a single field season helped her finalise her monograph. She also shares warm memories of autumn in Belgrade and of colleagues with whom grammar can be discussed in three languages at once.

Scientists Train Neural Network to Generate Process Plans from 3D Models
Researchers at the HSE FCS AI and Digital Science Institute have developed CAD2TechSpec, a framework that converts 3D models of mechanical parts into machining process plans—step-by-step instructions for machine tools. The solution aims to reduce the time required for the design and preparation of technical process documentation in mechanical engineering, aircraft manufacturing, and other high-tech industries. The study findings have been published in PeerJ Computer Science.

Biologists Discover 'Molecular Fingerprint' of Preeclampsia
Researchers at HSE University employed a new method to model hypoxia in placental cells during pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia and identified molecular markers of tissue hypoxia. Since hypoxia is one of the key mechanisms underlying preeclampsia, these findings are important for a more accurate and timely diagnosis of the disease and for the development of effective treatment methods. The paper has been published in Placenta.

FIGURAL INTERSECTION TASK: DATA FROM RUSSIAN CHILDREN

P. 64–65.
Хагабанова Т. Б., Ляшенко А. К., Arsalidou M.

Scholastic performance is related to cognitive abilities. Cognitive abilities improve significantly during childhood and adolescence (Arsalidou, & Im-Bolter, 2017). One way to measure cognitive competence is by assessing the amount of information that children can hold and manipulate in mind, which we refer to as mental-attentional capacity. Within the theory of constructive operators (Pascual-Leone, 1970) mental-attention represents a domain general resource that enables problem solving and serves as the maturational component of working memory (Arsalidou et al., 2010). According to Pascual-Leone & Baillargeon (1994), the capacity of mental attention (M-operator) is limited at every developmental stage by the quantity of separate “chunks” of information, which a child can keep and operate in its own mind simultaneously or the number of schemes that can be picked from one’s repertoire and activated by M-operator all at one time using “mental effort”.

Milani A., Pascual-Leone J., Arsalidou M., Journal of Experimental Child Psychology 2022 Vol. 222 Article 105462
Our ability to understand the world around us hinges on our cognition. Theoretically, children’s abilities improve with age; however, a lively discussion exists on how factors such as task domain, task interference, and task difficulty, as indexed mainly by relevant cues, affect cognitive performance. Practically, cognitive measures take a substantial amount of time to administer, ...

Theoretical and Empirical Criteria for Selecting Cognitive Over-Performers: Data from a Primary School in Moscow.
, in: Advances in Cognitive Research, Artificial Intelligence and Neuroinformatics: Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Cognitive Sciences, Intercognsci-2020, October 10-16, 2020, Moscow, RussiaVol. 1358.: Springer, 2021. P. 29–35.
Cognitive abilities are related to academic performance and professional success. Research shows that about 1–10% of individuals have outstanding cognitive abilities. Critically, theoretical and empirical criteria of assessing cognitive performance are understudied and less well understood. A measure of core cognitive performance is mental attentional capacity that reflects the number of items an individual can ...

Functional MRI study of working memory development in school-aged children
Faber A., Arsalidou M., , in: Творчество в современном мире: человек, общество, технологии: Материалы Всероссийской научной конференции, посвященной 100-летию со дня рождения Я.А. Пономарева.: Институт психологии РАН, 2020. P. 139–139.
Working memory is involved in many cognitive processes, and it is essential in problem solving, manipulating temporary information and decision making. Critically little is known about the brain correlates of working memory capacity in children. In this study we examined brain correlates of working memory with functional neuroimaging in school-aged children. ...

The Constructive Operators of the Working Mind: A Developmental Account of Mental-Attentional Capacity
Arsalidou M., The Russian Journal of Cognitive Science 2019 Vol. 6 No. 2 P. 44–55
Many psychological theories attempt to explain the mechanisms that govern cognition in adults, and fewer theories attempt to explain also how cognitive mechanisms change across development. Even fewer theories provide a brain representation of mechanisms related to cognitive development. One such theory is the Theory of Constructive Operators. In this review, we present key components ...

The analysis of cognitive competence can predict the level of a child’s develop- ment and, thus, can play an important role in their future academic progress. Although the majority of children show comparable cognitive performance for their age, some children significantly outperform their peers of the same age. Based on the Theory of Constructive Operators ...

Culture fair methods of evaluating cognitive competence.
Arsalidou M., , in: Book of Abstracts: XVI European Congress of Psychology (ECP 2019) (2‒5 July, 2019, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow).: M.: Moscow University Press, 2019. P. 1299–1299.
Cognitive competence is an indicator of future financial and physical well-being. Intelligence tests are a well-established, validated, popular method for assessing cognitive competence. Although these tests survived the test of time in psychological practice and research, they have received several serious criticisms. A main criticism is cultural fairness; because intelligence tests mainly rely on culturally ...

Concious states and brain networks
Arsalidou M., , in: Book of Abstracts: XVI European Congress of Psychology (ECP 2019) (2‒5 July, 2019, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow).: M.: Moscow University Press, 2019. P. 1307–1307.
Attention and consciousness are related. We solve problems by directing attention to them and shift our attention to unrelated thoughts when our mind wonders. These circumstances can represent different conscious states. Research shows that adults activate two distinct brain networks when directing attention to a task (i.e., fronto-parietal or executive network) and when mind wondering ...
