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?

Cortisol As a Marker of Stress

Human Physiology. 2014. Vol. 40. No. 2. P. 224–236.
Kozlov A., Kozlova M.

The review considers the roles cortisol (Crt), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and DHEA sulfate (DHEAS) play in the stress response. Age-related, sex-related, and circadian fluctuations in normal conditions and in acute or chronic stress are described for Crt, DHEA, and DHEA-S. The main techniques used to estimate the Crt level in the blood, urine, and saliva are described, and approaches to the interpretation of the results discussed. Special attention is paid to Crt assays in anthropological and psychological studies

Monahhova E., Morozova A., Gorodnicheva Y. et al., Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 2026 No. 20 Article 1867901
Inroduction:  Source credibility is fundamental to how medical information is processed,yet the underlying neurocognitive mechanisms remain poorly understood. We investigated how two credibility cues — a doctor’s expertise (years of work experience) and aggregate patient ratings (star ratings) — modulate brain responses to veracity cues (‘True’ vs. ‘False’) presented after health- related headlines. Methods:  We recorded EEG from ...

Koriakina M., Ntoumanis I., Blagoveshchensky E. et al., Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 2026 Vol. 20 Article 1754368
Introduction:  Understanding how we perceive and interpret the movements of other living beings is fundamental to social interaction, survival, and navigating our dynamic environment. Traditional studies of biological motion perception have predominantly employed simplified stimuli, such as point-light displays, which sacrifice ecological validity for experimental control. Methods:  To overcome this limitation, we created a novel stimulus set featuring ...

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 ...
