Summary: Goal reasoning is an essential functionality for artificial systems to manage and execute goals in complex and changing environments. This survey investigates motivated agents that simulate human integrated-self, exploring the potential benefits of internal motivations in goal reasoning. By evaluating different systems, the study concludes the potential advantages of motives, mental simulation, and emotion in the goal reasoning paradigm.

Summary: This article describes the development of paradigms for studying dyadic interaction in the laboratory, methods, and analytics for dealing with dyadic data. It provides research findings from the author and others, with a particular focus on dyadic measures of linkage or synchrony in physiology, expressive behavior, and subjective affective experience.

Summary: Integrating robots into daily life is becoming a reality, and bridging the gap between human developmental theories and robotics applications is crucial. This research focuses on the early stages of human development from 0 to 2 years old and aims to simulate motor and cognitive growth in robots through progressive experiments.

Summary: This study uses social ecology theory to compare marriages between couples who met through online dating and those who met offline. The findings suggest that online daters may have less satisfying and stable marriages, possibly due to societal marginalization and geographic distance pressures.

Summary: Temporal-structure is a fundamental principle of episodic memory organization, and recent studies suggest that it is encoded automatically. This study investigated whether strategic control processes influence the retrieval of temporal structure in memory. The results showed that while dividing attention negatively affected overall recall performance, it did not affect the ability to use temporal structure to drive recall.

Summary: This study examines the limit of working memory (WM)-guided attention using a novel task procedure and mouse trajectory analysis. The results suggest that only a single prioritized item held in WM can guide attention, as shown by the mouse trajectory analysis. The study highlights the utility of mouse trajectory analyses in hypothesis testing in experimental psychology.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between smartphone addiction, depression, and internalized/externalized aggression. The findings suggest a close association between smartphone addiction and internalized/externalized aggression. Depression has an indirect effect on the relationship between smartphone addiction and internalized aggression.

Summary: This study explores how parents' algorithm awareness of TikTok's algorithm relates to perceived online risks and opportunities as well as parental mediation strategies. The study found that higher algorithm awareness was associated with more negative attitudes and a higher likelihood of prohibiting teenagers from using TikTok.

Summary: This study examines the impact of cyberbullying on suicide ideation among Malaysian youth. The findings reveal that victims of cyberbullying are at a higher risk of suicide ideation. Anxiety, exhaustion, and stress mediate the relationship between cyberbullying and depression, while depression significantly mediates the relationship between cyberbullying and suicide ideation. This highlights the need for cyberbullying prevention programs to educate youth about the consequences of cyberbullying.

Summary: This study aims to detect auditory hallucinations (AH) in schizophrenia patients using a wireless EEG device. The results show that AH is mainly activated in the right frontal locations, while the left hemisphere demonstrates stronger activation during hallucination-free periods. Additionally, a decrease in spectral power during hallucination episodes compared to non-hallucination periods is observed.

Summary: How replaceable a person is affects responsibility judgments. The counterfactual replacement model predicts that people are held more responsible if it would have been difficult to replace them. Three experiments using a quantitatively controlled paradigm support this model's predictions and show that it explains responsibility judgments better than alternative models based solely on what actually happened.

Summary: This study used resting-state functional connectivity analysis to investigate the neural pathways between internet addiction tendency and sleep quality, and found a positive correlation between internet addiction tendency and the strength of functional connectivity within the default-mode network. Furthermore, internet addiction tendency mediated the relationship between these functional couplings and sleep quality.

Summary: This study examined brain function in offspring of mothers with and without depression using monetary and social reward tasks. The results showed no significant differences in task activation and functional connectivity between the two groups. The study discussed the possibility of developmental timing in finding differences.

Summary: Both children and adults preferentially produce and perceive rhythms with simple integer ratios. These preferences reflect specific rhythms that are common to one's cultural listening experience. Children as young as 6-years-old exhibit rhythmic biases that closely resemble those of adults in the same culture. Performance in rhythm perception tasks is correlated with tapping variability in rhythm production tasks.
