    Distinguished lectures in humanities: developmental trends of the effects of language experience on cognitive control

    Distinguished lectures in humanities: developmental trends of the effects of language experience on cognitive control

    The relationship between language experience and cognitive control (e.g., working memory, inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility) could be very well illustrated by the cognitively demanding language experience of interpreting training. A series of our empirical studies with interpreting students (see DONG 2023 for a review), together with studies with professional interpreters in the literature, suggest that interpreting training may first enhance students’ working memory (WM) updating ability and then WM spans, with probable some decline of WM updating ability between the shift from the two WM abilities. Similar patterns may appear in other cognitive control functions, such as cognitive flexibility (first with switching cost reduced and then with mixing cost reduced) and multi-tasking coordination. These results could be explained by the task features of interpreting (including task schemas and their cognitive loads) (see DONG & LI 2020), suggesting a close and dynamic relationship between language experience and cognitive control.

    12 Cognitive biases explained - How to think better and more logically removing bias

    12 Cognitive biases explained - How to think better and more logically removing bias

    In this video, it is about the explanation of 12 cognitive biases and presenting them in a format that learners can easily understand to help them make better decision in your life. Cognitive biases are flaws in logical thinking that clear the path to bad decisions, so learning about these ideas can reduce errors in the thought process, leading to a more successful life. These biases are very closely related to logical fallacies, which may help learners win an argument or present information better.
