The neuroscientific study of child poverty is a topic that has only recently emerged. In comparison with previous reviews (e.g., Hackman and Farah, 2009; Lipina and Colombo, 2009; Hackman et al., 2010; Raizada and Kishiyama, 2010; Lipina and Posner, 2012), our perspective synthesizes findings, and summarizes both conceptual and methodological contributions, as well as challenges that face curre...

Analysis of dynamics of biologically motivated neural networks allows for studying non-linear processes responsible for cognitive functions and thus provides adequate language to understand complex mental processes, including psychiatric syndromes and disorders. Problems with attention shifts that are at the roots of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and AttentionDeficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (A...

In this paper we describe an embodied developmental model of the interactions between the neural representations of numbers and space in the humanoid robot iCub. We show how a simple developmental process that mimics real-world cultural biases leads to the emergence of certain properties of the number and space representation system that enable the robot to reproduce well-known experimental phe...

The current study was designed to investigate how the automatic spatial orientation of attention induced by the perception of another agent's orientation of attention is modulated by the social nature of the other agent. Modified versions of the Posner task, using a real or schematic face with eyes or head looking toward the left or the right before a to-be-detected target appears on one side o...

As a biology education community, we focus a great deal of time and energy on issues of “what” students should be learning in the modern age of biology and then probing the extent to which students are learning these things. Additionally, there has been increased focus over time on the “how” of teaching, with attention to questioning the efficacy of traditional lecture methods and exploring new...

Effects of Form and Motion on Social Attention Maria Florendo 1 , Alvin X. Li1, Luke Miller1, Ayse P. Saygin1 1Department of Cognitive Science, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA INTRO In this modern age, humans will soon encounter non-biological agents, such as robots, in their everyday lives. The purpose of integrating these non-biological agents into society is to assist with e...
