This article discusses a study on the use of a digital format for testing pareidolias, which are visual perceptual deficits where ambiguous shapes take on meaningful appearances. The study compared the results of paper-based and digital testing approaches on healthy controls and patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, Dementia with Lewy body disease, and Parkinson's disease. The findings suggest that the illusionary phenomenon of pareidolia is consistent across both paper and digital modalities of testing, and that perceptual constancy is maintained across patient groups. The study also found that pareidolic misperceptions can be stabilized on a digital format, demonstrating a practical way of testing pareidolias on smartphones without compromising the functionality of the test.

This article discusses the relationship between stigma and suicide, presenting contradictory theories and findings. While some studies suggest that stigma can increase the risk of suicide, other cross-cultural findings indicate that societies with high suicide rates may not have stigmatizing norms around suicide. Additionally, adherence to religions with stigmatizing views on suicide may actually protect against suicidality. The paper proposes that stigma should be seen as a deterrent that can be used against various phenomena, and categorizes articles to reconcile differing perspectives. The objective of the paper is to shed light on conflicting claims and offer a potential solution, rather than proving a specific conceptualization. [Extracted from the article]

According to a preprint abstract, scholars in various fields such as psychology, anthropology, philosophy, and neuroscience have been studying how humans understand the physical and psychological aspects of other people. While some research suggests that these two domains of thought are independent, modular systems, the authors of this paper argue that our psychological reasoning actually depends on inputs from physical reasoning. They review evidence from developmental psychology, cross-cultural research, cognitive neuroscience, and neuropsychology to support their claim that naive psychology and physics are parallel and integrated systems in human minds and brains. The paper concludes by proposing a research program to investigate this integration further. Please note that this preprint has not been peer-reviewed. [Extracted from the article]

A survey of 400 psychology papers published between 2016 and 2021 found that only 8.4% of the papers openly shared stimulus presentation code, compared to 17.9% sharing analysis code and 31.7% sharing data. Of the shared code, 70% ran directly or after minor corrections, while the main error for code that did not run was missing dependencies. The usability of the code was moderate, with low levels of code annotation and minimal documentation provided. These findings suggest that stimulus presentation code sharing lags behind other forms of code and data sharing in psychology, potentially due to less emphasis on such code in open-science discussions and journal policies.
