“…These models typically assume that evidence is sampled from the stimulus and that it is accumulated up to a threshold that triggers the associated response. Biased responding in these models is implemented using a starting point of accumulation, which may be influenced by prior knowledge, instructions, expectancies, and so forth (Smith & Ratcliff, 2004; Yang et al, 2020).…”

The Same-Different task presents two stimuli in close succession and participants must indicate whether they are completely identical or if there are any attributes that differ. While the task is simple, its results have proven difficult to explain. Notably, response times are characterized by a fast-same effect whereby Same responses are faster than Different responses even though identical stimuli should be exhaustively processed to be accurate. Herein, we examine a little more than a quarter million response times (N = 255,744) obtained from 327 participants who participated in one of 14 variants of the task involving minor changes in the stimuli or their durations. We performed distribution fitting and analyzed estimated parameters stemming from the ex-Gaussian, lognormal, and Weibull distributions to infer the cognitive processing characteristics underlying this task. The results exclude serial processing of the stimuli and do not support dual-route processing. The fast-same effect appears only through a shift of the entire response time distributions, a feature impossible to detect solely with mean response time analyses. An attentionmodulated process driven by entropy may be the most adequate model of the fast-same effect. Public Significance StatementThe ability to detect a lack of difference between successive stimuli is performed easily and without effort thousands of times every day. Yet, despite considerable research over the last 50 years, very little is known to explain how humans perform these decisions. Herein, we reexamine over a quarter million data from more than 300 participants, which lead to a new hypothesis involving dynamic modulation of attention.

“…Feeling is the understanding of the attributes and characteristics of things, while perception is the understanding of things as a whole and the relations of them. Therefore, it can be said that perceptions are based on feelings ( Yang et al, 2020 ). Memory is perceptual experience and an essential basis for advanced cognitive processes such as thinking and language learning.…”

The ideological and political education (IPE) situation is constantly developing and changing. In modern globalization, the ideological education of college students has received great attention. The purpose is to strengthen morality and cultivate people as the basic point of a college education. The principles of educational psychology are adopted to integrate IPE into the whole process of college teaching and help students develop healthily for a long time. First, IPE psychology’s concept and subject attribute under educational psychology are expounded. Next, the concept and development of cognitive structure theory are introduced. Moreover, educational constructivist measures are analyzed. Furthermore, the cognitive structure of college students’ self-cognition and IPE is interpreted and analyzed using cognitive psychology. Then, a questionnaire is designed to study the influencing factors of political education strategies in colleges. Finally, the questionnaire is collected to summarize the influencing factors and put forward optimization strategies. The results show that using the principles of educational psychology and cognitive psychology to investigate can accurately understand modern college students’ self-cognitive structure and ideological and political cognitive structure. The opportunity factor greatly impacts the IPE strategy of college students. More than 97% think that it has an impact, of which more than 51% think that it has a great impact and more than 21% think that it is the decisive factor. Challenge factors greatly impact college students’ IPE strategies. More than 97% think they have an impact, of which more than 55% think they have a great impact, and more than 24% think they are decisive factors. It shows that educational psychology is conducive to the progress of political education in colleges and the improvement of college students’ ideological and political levels. This exploration provides a new direction for educational psychology research in ideological and political work.
