When you view a photograph of someone holding another photograph, you subconsciously judge the person in the nested image as possessing less of a mind. A recent study reveals just how remarkably stubborn this visual bias really is.

Mo Yan’s Red Sorghum Family vividly represents local culture through its extensive use of the Gaomi dialect. However, in cross-cultural translation, the rendering of dialectal expressions, particularly metaphorical ones, poses significant challenges, as linguistic and cultural disparities often hinder the preservation of their original connotations and cultural resonance. How to accurat…

This paper presents an overview of "Psyche-Civilizational Engineering (WFM-8)," a non-anthropocentric framework that redefines the psyche through the novel axioms of "Consciousness" and "Mind". By utilizing Critical Cutoff Engineering (CCE), we mathematically model the dynamics of anomie and suicidality. We introduce the Overlay Depth Index (ODI) to quantify inverse-phase indoctrination and the P…

This study examined the interrelated factors influencing students’ academic performance in mathematics in terms of attitude toward mathematics, self-confidence, and learning strategies. A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized involving forty-two Grade 12 students from a private secondary school in the Division of Misamis Occidental. Data were gathered using a researcher-made ques…

Speech sensorimotor adaptation is typically partial, varies across individuals, and often saturates under large auditory perturbations. While sensory and phonological factors have been proposed to explain this variability, the role of motor effort and its influence on the compensatory response remain largely unexplored. Our study examined whether the physical effort involved in producing compensa…

Immersion is a widely experienced yet conceptually contested phenomenon, particularly within Human–Computer Interaction. The Two-Competitor Model proposes that immersion arises from shifts in attentional focus between actual and induced realities. Although the model provides a testable framework for quantifying immersive experiences, it assumes these realities compete along orthogonal dimensions …

This study aims to develop and evaluate a beach-based educational game model as an intervention to enhance the creativity of elementary school-aged children in the coastal areas of Banten and the city of Jakarta. The study employs a quasi-experimental approach with a non-randomized control group design, involving two groups: an intervention group that participated in the beach educational game pr…

How do people decide whether one event caused another? While previous research has focused on visual and auditory cues in causal perception, the role of touch remains underexplored. Here, we investigate how haptic feedback contributes to causal judgments across three psychophysical experiments. In Experiment 1, we introduced force-based haptic feedback to a visual launching paradigm and found tha…

The Grounding Trilemma (Badkur & Dak, 2026a) proves that zero-information grounding, universal subsumption, and non-trivial description are jointly unsatisfiable in a first-order predicate framework. A natural question is whether this impossibility is an artifact of that framework or a deeper structural phenomenon. This note tests one specific alternative formalization. It translates the trilemma…

This study investigated the effects of generative AI on Creative Self-Beliefs (CSB) through a longitudinal educational design. The analysis considered not only the presence or absence of generative AI use, but also specific usage styles and learners’ attitudes towards AI. The research was conducted in a third-year university course with three experimental conditions: no AI use, mandatory AI use, …
