Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how well automated transcriptions match manual transcriptions in a telephone chatbot-based semantic verbal fluency test involving different cognitive states.
- Analysis of 78 cases showed a strong correlation in word counts between the two transcription methods, with a 93% probability that differences stayed within a minimally important range, although qualitative features showed only fair agreement.
- Results indicate that automated speech recognition is a reliable tool for assessing both quantitative and qualitative speech features in cognitively impaired individuals, highlighting its potential usefulness in remote evaluations.
Mindfulness training programmes have shown to encourage prosocial behaviours and reduce antisocial tendencies in adolescents. However, less is known about whether training affects susceptibility to prosocial and antisocial influence. The current study investigated the effect of mindfulness training (compared with an active control) on self-reported prosocial and antisocial tendencies and susceptibility to prosocial and antisocial influence.

This article focuses on the question of the function of imitation and whether current accounts of imitative function are consistent with our knowledge about imitation's origins. We first review theories of imitative origin concluding that empirical evidence suggests that imitation arises from domain-general learning mechanisms. Next, we lay out a selective account of function that allows normative functions to be ascribed to learned behaviours.
