Have you ever felt stuck while solving a problem? That frustrating feeling of hitting a mental wall is called an impasse. But what if these moments of feeling stuck are more than just obstacles? In recent work published in Cognition, researchers Wendy Ross and Selene Arfini find that these impasses play a crucial role in problem-solving, especially when they lead to sudden moments of insight—those “aha!” breakthroughs. They argue that understanding when and how people feel stuck can shed light on cognitive processes that are essential not only for solving puzzles but for learning and innovatio...

Changes in personality following a heart transplant have been noted pretty much ever since transplants began. In one case, a person who hated classical music developed a passion for the genre after receiving a musician’s heart. The recipient later died holding a violin case. In another case, a 45-year-old man remarked how, since receiving the heart of a 17-year-old boy, he loves to put on headphones and listen to loud music – something he had never done before the transplant. A recent study suggests that heart transplant recipients may not be unique in experiencing personality changes. These c...

Recent research has found that playing video games regularly is linked to better navigation skills, while relying on GPS systems does not appear to impact one’s ability to find their way. The new study provides insight into how modern technology influences our cognitive functions, specifically in terms of wayfinding ability. The study was published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology. Navigation is a critical cognitive function that involves complex processes such as planning routes, reading maps, identifying landmarks, and maintaining a sense of direction. The ability to navigate effec...

Voluntary action—our ability to decide what to do and when to do it— is a complex challenge in cognitive science. New research published in Cognition explored this concept. Volition involves more than just reacting to external cues or following ingrained habits; it encompasses our ability to initiate and control actions on our own terms. Traditional studies on this topic often struggle with experimental designs that don’t fully capture the spontaneity and complexity of real-world decision-making. To address these limitations, researchers Keiji Ota and colleagues developed a novel approach usin...
