“…A substantial body of evidence stresses the quick transformation of novel task representations from a declarative into a procedural format (Demanet et al, 2016;González-García et al, 2020Liefooghe et al, 2012Liefooghe et al, , 2013Liefooghe & De Houwer, 2018;Meiran et al, 2015aMeiran et al, , 2015bMeiran & Cohen-Kdoshay, 2012). Nonetheless, the cognitive processes mediating this transformation are uncertain to date (Formica et al, 2020(Formica et al, , 2021González-García et al, 2020. In this work, we interrogated a candidate mechanism: motor simulation (Grush, 2004;Jeannerod, 2004Jeannerod, , 2001.…”

Our ability to generate efficient behavior from novel instructions is critical for our adaptation to changing environments. Despite the absence of previous experience, novel instructed content is quickly encoded into an action-based or procedural format, facilitating automatic task processing. In the current work, we investigated the link between proceduralization and motor simulation, specifically, whether the covert activation of the task-relevant responses is used during the assembly of action-based instructions representations. Across three online experiments, we used a concurrent finger-tapping task to block motor simulation during the encoding of novel stimulusresponse (S-R) associations. The overlap between the mappings and the motor task at the response level was manipulated. We predicted a greater impairment at mapping implementation in the overlapping condition, where the mappings' relevant response representations were already loaded by the motor demands, and thus, could not be used in the upcoming task simulation. This hypothesis was robustly supported by the three datasets. Nonetheless, the overlapping effect was not modulated by further manipulations of proceduralization-related variables (preparation demands in Exp.2, mapping novelty in Exp.3). Importantly, a fourth control experiment ruled out that our results were driven by alternative accounts as fatigue or negative priming. Overall, we provided strong evidence towards the involvement of motor simulation during anticipatory task reconfiguration. However, this involvement was rather general, and not restricted to novelty scenarios. Finally, these findings can be also integrated into broader models of anticipatory task control, stressing the role of the motor system during preparation.

Bu araştırma, COVID-19 salgınında sağlık çalışanlarının stres algı düzeyinin kas iskelet sistemi ağrılarına etkisinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla planlandı. Yöntem: Araştırmaya COVID-19 sürecinde sağlık alanında çalışan ve çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katılan 232 birey alındı. Çalışmaya katılan bireyler, Demografik Bilgi Formu, Algılanan Stres Ölçeği ve Nordic Kas İskelet Sistemi Anketinden oluşan bir değerlendirme formu ile değerlendirildi. Değerlendirme formu Google formlar uygulaması üzerinden oluşturuldu. Veriler internet üzerinden Whatsapp ve e-posta yoluyla toplandı. Nicel bağımsız verilerin analizi için Ki Kare test ve T test kullanıldı. Tüm analizler için anlamlılık düzeyi p<0,05 olarak kabul edildi Bulgular: Çalışmaya 96 erkek (%53,4) ve 110 kadın (%46,6) olmak üzere 206 kişi dahil edildi. Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 32,71± 7,55 yıl idi. Katılımcıların 85'i (%41,3) Hekim, 56'sı (%27,2) Fizyoterapist, 26'sı (%12,6) Hemşire/Ebe ve 30'u (%14,6) Sağlık Teknikeri idi. Algılanan stres düzeyi ile son 12 ay ağrı, son 12 ay ağrıdan kaynaklı iş engeli ve son 7 gün ağrı varlığı karşılaştırıldığında sadece son 12 ay ve son 7 gün bel ağrısı ve son 7 gün el bilekleri/eller ağrısı ile algılanan stres düzeyi arasında anlamlı ilişki bulundu (sırasıyla p=0,039, p=0,013, p=0,047). Algılanan stres düzeyi ile tanımlayıcı parametreler arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı. Son 7 gün el bilekleri/eller ağrısı ile tanımlayıcı parametreler karşılaştırıldığında sadece cinsiyet ile anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu (p=0,023). Sonuç: Bu çalışmada COVID-19 ortamında çalışan sağlık personellerinde el/ el bileği ve bel ağrısının stresle ilişkili olduğuna dair bulunan sonuçlar literatüre katkı sağlayacaktır. Bu konuda yapılan çalışmaların sayısı oldukça azdır. Gelecekte popülasyonu yüksek olan çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

“…They showed that this shift is observable both in oscillation of behavioral performance (using a dense behavioral sampling paradigm) and electrophysiological data, and that the magnitude of this shift correlates with inter-individual differences in task performance (Senoussi et al, 2020). Other studies have also reported the involvement of different low-frequency bands during top-down control processes, especially in hierarchical task implementation (Cooper et al, 2019;de Vries et al, 2020;Formica et al, 2021;Riddle et al, 2020). Together, these results open interesting avenue for future research on the conventional frequency limits of oscillations supporting cognitive control (usually attributed to the theta band) and more generally on the nature of the constraints controlling and limiting frequency shifts in neural oscillations.…”

Why can't we keep as many items as we want in working memory? It has long been debated whether this resource limitation is a bug (a downside of our fallible biological system) or instead a feature (an optimal response to a computational problem). We propose that the resource limitation is a consequence of a useful feature. Specifically, we propose that flexible cognition requires time-based binding, and time-based binding necessarily limits the number of (bound) memoranda that can be stored simultaneously. Time-based binding is most naturally instantiated via neural oscillations, for which there exists ample experimental evidence. We report simulations that illustrate this theory and that relate it to empirical data. We also compare the theory to several other (feature and bug) resource theories.
