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?

Do digital technologies affect the hiring and firing of older workers? Evidence from Russia

Applied Economics. 2026. Vol. 58. No. 12. P. 2398–2410.
Smirnykh L. I.

This study analyses the impact of digital technology adoption by enterprises on the hiring and firing of older workers. Data from the Russian Enterprise Survey for 2021–2022 are used for the analysis. Estimates are conducted for workers of retirement and pre-retirement age. The impact of enterprise digitalization on hiring and firing and the probability that firing will exceed hiring are estimated using Tobit and Probit models with an endogenous regressor. The results indicate that a high proportion of long-tenured workers hinders the hiring of older workers. At the same time, the digitalization of enterprises has a positive impact on the hiring of workers. However, highly digitalized enterprises also fire more workers than non-digitalized enterprises. At the same time, the higher the level of enterprises’ digitalization, the greater is the excess of firing over hiring. Older workers need to improve digital literacy skills to remain employed and competitive in the labour market.
