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.
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.
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?

The main results of the work are new Bayes–Nash equilibria related to the theory of oli gopoly. The article is divided into two parts. The first part considers the classical problem of price competition with product differentiation. (That is, each firm produces one product, but the pro ducts differ. This is the next most complex ...
Coopetition means that in economic interactions, both competition and cooperation are
presented in the same time. We built and investigated analytically and numerically game theoretic
models of coopetition in normal form and in the form of characteristic function. The basic model
in normal form reflects competition between firms in Cournot oligopoly and their cooperation in
mutually profitable activities such ...

In this paper, we build and investigate cooperative games with different characteristic
functions (von Neumann–Morgenstern, Petrosyan–Zaccour, Gromova–Petrosyan) on the
base of symmetrical Cournot oligopoly game-theoretic models in normal form. We find
Nash and Stackelberg equilibria and cooperative solutions for nonsymmetrical Cournot
oligopoly game-theoretic models in normal form. Also, we build and investigate coop27
erative three-player games with the same characteristic ...
