Participants read garden-path sentences with late-closure ambiguity (e.g., While the man hunted the deer ran into the woods) and answered comprehension questions while their brainwaves were recorded. Experiment 1 used standard questions (e.g., Did the man hunt the deer?), while Experiment 2 used \"explicit\" questions (e.g., Did the sentence explicitly say that the man hunted the deer?) to reduce inference-based responses. Results showed a typical P600 effect for ambiguous sentences in Experiment 1, indicating syntactic reanalysis. In Experiment 2, responses showed an N400 followed by Sustained Frontal Negativity, suggesting a shift toward plausibility evaluation and increased processing load. The explicit questions appear to alter underlying sentence processing mechanisms, prompting more effortful resolution of interpretive conflict beyond initial syntactic reanalysis.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Linguistics; Language Comprehension; Language understanding; Semantics of language; Syntax" } ], "section": "Papers with Poster Presentation", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/54p3407w", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Zhiying", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Qian", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Florida State University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2025-01-01T13:00:00-05:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/49353/galley/37314/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 49218, "title": "When 0 is good: instrumental learning with counterintuitive goals decreases working memory engagement", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "<p>Humans are adept at setting goals quickly and flexibly in their daily lives. Previous research has shown that people can assign rewarding properties to abstract or novel outcomes and use them to guide behavior. However, the mechanisms supporting this flexibility and their impact on learning processes, such as working memory (WM) or slower incremental systems, remain unclear. To address this, we designed an instrumental learning task in which participants learned stimulus-action associations by pursuing either standard goals (+1) or counterintuitive goals (+0) under varying WM loads. Our behavioral and modeling results revealed that when pursuing counterintuitive goals, humans learned more slowly and shifted their reliance from WM to habit-like associative processes, despite both processes remaining functionally intact. Additionally, we replicated previous findings showing that humans do not rely on reinforcement learning (RL) processes but instead integrate WM and habit-like processes to learn the associations. This interplay between WM and habit-like processes may allow a more resource-efficient approach to pursuing diverse goals.

Here, we model parental \"take over\" decisions as a Bayesian solution to a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) and qualitatively compare model predictions with behavioral data from parent-child interactions. We find that two core beliefs guide intervention: the child's probability of success and the utility of the task.

Human recordings exhibited higher overall accuracy (79.82% vs. 72.65%) and were rated significantly more natural, an effect partially explained by micro-perturbations (e.g., jitter, shimmer) that enhanced perceived authenticity.

This phenomenon has been described by the hypothesis that cognitive cost scales in surprisal (negative log probability; Hale, 2001; Levy, 2008), with a core justification being that surprisal quantifies the amount by which a rational comprehender's beliefs about meaning change upon encountering a word. However, this focus on next-word prediction may be too narrow.

We construct the ErrorQuestionDataset, comprising 346 misinformation-related questions, and conduct an empirical study involving five state-of-the-art LLMs (ChatGPT-4o, Gemini-1.5flash, DeepSeek-v3, Hunyuan-Large, GLM-v4Flash) and 251 human participants.

Additionally, we identify five primary performance types—affirmation, negation, hesitation, questioning, and off-topic reactions—providing insights into the cognitive differences between LLMs and human cognition.

After a review of the typical startup lifecycle by a venture capitalist, three startup founders will explain their career trajectories and critical decision points. They will then introduce important decisions about product, market, software, and funding strategies. Students will then participate in breakout sessions in one of these four areas.

Its thesis is that abortion exemplifies American exceptionalism in the original sense of the phrase that America is an \"exception,\" especially within the Western world. Yet exceptionalism should not be misunderstood as historical determinism or cultural essentialism. By the early 1970s, America was converging with peer Western democracies in liberalizing abortion. This process of convergence was ultimately halted by the mounting influence of the U.S. pro-life movement in an age when tolerance or support for reproductive rights increasingly became the norm abroad. When Dobbs overruled Roe, it not only exacerbated polarization within America, but also the divide between America and other Western democracies. This divergence was epitomized by the criticism that Dobbs garnered from U.S. allies, which led to remarkable public statements by Justice Samuel Alito defending his decision from condemnation by foreign leaders. While abortion is often analyzed in isolation, this multidisciplinary Article focuses on its interrelationship with wider features of American exceptionalism. A distinctive religious landscape sheds light on the intensity of opposition to abortion among the substantial minority of Americans who share a traditionalist worldview. The history of Catholicism and evangelicalism in America has notably diverged from fellow Western societies in ways that are largely overlooked. This unique social environment has contributed to the resilience of the U.S. anti-abortion movement, which has an outsized impact due to the exeptional weight of lobbying by special interests over American government. By holding that religious opposition to abortion can legitimately be channeled through secularized law and policies, the U.S. Supreme Court has further enabled this movement to be highly effective. In contrast, organized opposition to abortion has declined elsewhere in the West concurrently with the decline of organized religion, especially traditionalist conceptions of Christianity. Modern America is now an outlier, refighting and relitigating an endless battle over abortion.</p>", "language": null, "license": { "name": "All rights reserved", "short_name": "Copyright", "text": "© the author(s).

These periods include: the Qajar period during the 19th century, prior to the Constitutional Revolution of 1906; the period following the Constitutional Revolution of 1906 and the establishment of the Pahlavi Dynasty; and finally, the period following the Islamic Revolution of 1979 up to the 21st century.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "null" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Articles", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8hb29152", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Hannah", "middle_name": "E.", "last_name": "Sobhie", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": "2025-06-04T19:46:36-04:00", "date_accepted": "2025-06-04T19:46:36-04:00", "date_published": "2024-12-31T19:00:00-05:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_jinel/article/59977/galley/45923/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 59744, "title": "Access to America: Empowering Detained Immigrants with Access to Justice", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "The U.S. immigration system continues to detain immigrants who seek to enter the country at incredibly high rates.

This project investigates how snowmelt, precipitation, and dam operations interact to influence river overflow and water availability ,especially near Yosemite National Park,. By comparing a dry water year (2022) with a wet year (2023), the project combines remote sensing data, streamflow records, and dam release patterns to model potential flood risks and seasonal irrigation supply. High-resolution snow data from the Airborne Snow Observatory (ASO) [1], which uses LiDAR to measure snow water equivalent (SWE), revealed significant snowpack differences between years. ENVI software was used to visualize snowmelt rates using band math and custom color lenses, while precipitation records from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) [3] and river flow data from the California Data Exchange Center (CDEC) [2] helped map hydrological trends. Dam operation reports from the Merced Irrigation District (MID) [4] were manually compiled into an operational timeline. Results showed that although 2023 had greater SWE, the melt was slower and better regulated by MID dams, reducing immediate flood risk. In contrast, 2022’s lower snowpack melted rapidly, overwhelming limited flow controls. These findings support the adoption of more adaptive irrigation planning and early-warning systems tied to snowmelt dynamics. While the model remains simplified, it demonstrates how open-source data and remote sensing tools can enhance regional water management, especially under intensifying climate variability.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

The \nmormah\n, once used during highland rituals such as \nbuka ingu\n, exemplifies how colonial collecting practices decontextualized culturally significant objects, transforming them from living ceremonial regalia into static museum artifacts. Drawing on postcolonial theory and Donna Haraway’s concept of “situated knowledges,” the authors adopt a collaborative, decolonial methodology that brings together archival museum research and oral history interviews conducted in the Kuman language with a key cultural informant: co-author Clara Bal’s grandmother. This interdisciplinary and transnational research design highlights the epistemic authority of insider knowledge and the ethical imperative of trust-based engagement. By analyzing the symbolic, ecological, and ceremonial meanings of the \nmormah\n, the article foregrounds the object’s role within Indigenous systems of memory and social reproduction. The authors argue for a reorientation of museum practice that goes beyond provenance as property tracing, toward provenance as a relational, ethical, and political project.

The persistence of cancer reflects a fundamental evolutionary challenge: how organisms maintain cooperation among billions of cells while preventing the rise of selfish, malignant ones. In this review paper, we will examine how natural selection influences the development of cancer suppression mechanisms within individual organisms and across various species. We will concentrate on two key areas: first, the Darwinian characteristics of cancer as a clonal evolutionary process driven by mutation, competition, and selection within the body; and second, the evolution of the immune and genetic defense system that inhibits tumor formation to a limit. The development of somatic defenses that have delayed cancer’s progression in long-lived species usually entails trade-offs such as aging, diminished regenerative abilities, and reduced reproductive capacity. We will also mention comparative studies that show that species such as naked mole rats, elephants, and whales have independently evolved distinct anti-cancer mechanisms, illustrating the varied approaches to a shared issue. Considering cancer from an evolutionary perspective can broaden understandings of its original traces and endurance. It also provides valuable insight into how organisms balance longevity and cellular integrity.

Because vehicles are a nearly inevitable fact of American life, the widespread use of ALPR technology raises profound privacy concerns.\nLower courts have begun to address the privacy risks posed by expansive and long-term ALPR surveillance, at times drawing parallels to the cell-site location data in Carpenter v. United States. Accordingly, this Comment explores the constitutional implications of warrantless ALPR data collection and use, analyzing the technology’s potential to infringe on the rights guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment.\nWith privacy in mind, this Comment proposes a judicial rule consistent with Carpenter that would require a warrant to access ALPR data that is older than six days.

The article responds affirmatively to those requests, in the form of a draft opinion by a fictional Justice of the Hawai’i Supreme Court.

Relying upon exisiting Hawai’i legislation, exisiting Hawai’i Supreme Court precedent, and a similar doctrine developed by the Supreme Court of Canada, the text concludes that Native Hawaiians collectively retain a usufructary right in the remaining publicly-owned Crown Lands.

Section I of the article looks at Macon Bolling Allen’s humble beginnings. Section II examines standards for bar admission during the first half of the nineteenth century. Section III of the article looks at why Maine seemed to have been the most hospitable site for Macon Bolling Allen’s unprecedented attempt to become a lawyer, including Allen’s fortuitous backing by noted Maine abolitionist attorney Samuel Fessenden. Section IV looks at the historic admission itself, analyzing the setbacks and opposition that Allen had to overcome. Finally, Section V examines the aftermath of Allen’s triumphant achievement. His tenure in Maine rendered short-lived by uncertain financial prospects, and Allen relocated to Massachusetts in search of greener pastures. After gaining admission to the bar there in 1845, Allen carved out a precarious professional existence in the Boston area until 1868, when he moved to Charleston, South Carolina.\nThe story of Macon Bolling Allen’s quest to become a lawyer is a critical narrative for understanding the challenges that Black lawyers still face today. While nearly fourteen percent of the American population is Black, only about five percent of its lawyers are Black. Beginning with Allen’s admission to the Maine bar in 1844, Black Americans thrust themselves into the fight against racism, and their very presence sent a powerful message. Allen’s journey also illustrates another theme that resonates today—the importance of white allies in working to achieve equality in and under the legal system. At a time in our nation’s history when teaching about Black history and the contributions of hitherto-unnoticed Black pioneers like Macon Bolling Allen is under threat, it is more important than ever to appreciate our “forgotten firsts.”", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Articles", "is_remote": true, "remote_url":

These theories comprise a range of questions: What is the time span of the final government—i.e., how long will humanity survive before universal annihilation? Will the final government involve separation of powers? Will its form be democratic, autocratic, socialist, or otherwise? Will it preserve the boundaries of nation-states? How will it relate to existing supranational political entities, such as the United Nations? How will the political leadership be constituted, including its mechanisms of succession? How will its administrative and bureaucratic apparatus be organized? This Article considers such questions within the Islamic context by examining four case studies: (1) the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (“ISIS”), (2) Muḥammad ‘Īsa Dāwūd and his “Awaited Mahdi” political party in Egypt, (3) the Islamic Republic of Iran, as represented by three de facto theorists, and (4) the Ṣadrist movement in Iraq, as represented by the movement’s former leader. While these case studies may appear to be superficially similar, their theories of apocalyptic governance and constitutional law differ markedly.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "null" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Articles", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6np1p7j3", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Ali", "middle_name": "Rod", "last_name": "Khadem", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": "2025-06-04T19:37:19-04:00", "date_accepted": "2025-06-04T19:37:19-04:00", "date_published": "2024-12-31T19:00:00-05:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/uclalaw_jinel/article/59973/galley/45919/download/" } ] } ] }
