Yu, Todd, and Petrov (2021, Journal of Vision) and their follow-up study (Yu, Petrov, & Todd, 2021, i-Perception) aimed at evaluating the role of three-dimensional (3D) symmetry in binocular shape perception by comparing their experimental data to predictions they derived from our computational models. We point out in this note that their predictions were incorrect, so their studies can neither reject nor support our models of 3D shape perception. We explain (1) the role of the data and the constraints in solving ill-posed inverse problems, (2) the role of binocular depth-order, as opposed to binocular depth-intervals in shape perception, (3) the nature and the effect of 3D compactness as an a priori constraint, and (4) the implications of the separation of binocular disparity and stereoacuity in the two functional streams in the visual cortex.

One of the most discussed approaches to understanding morality in science and philosophy in recent years has been the social intuitionist model of morality by the American psychologist Jonathan Haidt. The author has created a complex concept consisting of several large parts logically connected to each other, each of which deserves special attention. The first ...

В статье представлен аналитический обзор взаимосвязи эмоционального интеллекта, амбивалентных чувств и переживания счастья. На материале отечественных и зарубежных исследований обсуждается понимание счастья как сложной когнитивной конструкции, опосредующей восприятие и переживание позитивных эмоций. Анализируются соотношение настроения, страсти и аффекта в контексте эмоциональной амбивалентности, а также возможные когнитивные искажения, влияющие на интерпретацию переживаемого счастья. ...

Emotion regulation (ER) involves processes by which individuals modulate the intensity, duration, and expression of emotional responses, and its dysregulation is associated with a broad spectrum of psychological disorders. While traditionally conceptualized within psychological frameworks, ER is increasingly recognized as biologically grounded, involving intricate interactions between neurochemical, hormonal, and metabolic systems. This narrative review aims ...

This article examines how Russians conceptualize the groups most vulnerable to fake news. Drawing on 119 semi-structured interviews conducted in spring 2024, I find clear evidence of the third-person effect: participants believe that disinformation primarily threatens “others” who differ from them on salient dimensions. Age is the most common basis for dividing society into “us” ...

Context and relevance. Contemporary motivation research increasingly highlights the future as a central space for motivational regulation. Particular attention is paid to the constructs of future-oriented motivation and motivation for the possible, as well as to task instrumentality as a meaning-based mechanism linking distant goals with immediate actions (means–ends). Objective: to empirically investigate the role ...

The development of critical thinking is currently regarded as one of the key objectives of higher education. In this context, there is a growing number of instruments aimed at assessing critical thinking in domain-specific and more authentic educational settings. However, considerably less attention has been paid to the question of the extent to which the ...

Motor imagery (MI) allows individuals to mentally simulate movements without execution, engaging neural pathways that overlap with those used during real actions. However, how imagery perspective influences corticospinal excitability across different effectors remains unclear. Using neuronavigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), we compared kinesthetic (KMI), first-person visual (VMI-1PP), and third-person visual (VMI-3PP) imagery of elbow flexion-extension ...

Detecting 3D symmetry is important for the human visual system because many objects in our everyday life are 3D symmetrical. Many are 3D mirror-symmetrical and others are 3D rotational-symmetrical. But note that their retinal images are 2D symmetrical only in degenerate views. It has been suggested that a human observer can detect 3D mirror-symmetry even from ...

The visual system can recover 3D information from many different types of visual information, e.g., contour-drawings. How well can people navigate in a real dynamic environment with contour-drawings? This question was addressed by developing an AR-device that could show a contour-drawing of a real scene in an immersive manner and by conducting an observational field ...

Human beings can perceive depth by using binocular disparity, namely the difference between a stereo-pair of retinal images. It is commonly believed that the visual system requires oculomotor information about the relative orientation between the two eyes to perceive depth on the basis of binocular disparity. Such oculomotor information can be obtained from the efference copy ...

Understanding the visual stimulus in a psychophysical experiment, theoretically, is critical for controlling the experiment, for interpreting the empirical results of the experiment, and for discussing the mechanisms the visual system used to get these results. This fact encourages visual scientists to use “simple” visual stimuli in their experiments. A triangle is one of the ...

Artists can represent a 3D object by using only contours in a 2D drawing. Prior studies have shown that people can use such drawings to perceive 3D shapes reliably, but it is not clear how useful this kind of contour information actually is in a real dynamical scene in which people interact with objects. To ...

Bishop Berkeley suggested that the distance of an object can be estimated if the object’s size is familiar to the observer. It has been suggested that humans can perceive the distance of the object by using such “familiarity” information, but most or many of the prior experiments that found an effect of familiarity were not ...
