Abstract： Curiosity has a long history of research and rich definitions and classifications as a common mental state and personality trait. The division and coordination of multiple brain regions enable individuals to form a cognitive process of generating and evaluating prediction error, triggering and mediating curiosity, and producing surprise and new prediction error, so as to reduce the prediction error and information gap between internal states and external environment, and eliminate uncertainty. Curiosity has a significant role in improving cognitive function and maintaining mental and physical health during development. Future research can be further considered from a cross-species, interdisciplinary, and multi-domain perspective to promote the deepening of research topics, the development of research methods, and the application of research results in curiosity."

Abstract： Gender information is an important biological and social attribute of human beings. Rapid and accurate gender identification is of great significance to our survival and reproduction. Human gender processing is characterized by automation, stereotyping and asymmetry. It is influenced by gender processing subjects, other gender information, social category information, and higher-level cognitive regulation. Focusing on two main sources of gender information, namely faces and voices, research on the behavioral and neural mechanisms of gender processing were reviewed. In addition, a two-stage gender processing model was proposed, in which the early stage relates to a specific processing of the physical features aspect of gender information, and the later stage is a general processing of abstract gender information. Future research may focus on aspects of the systematic study of gender processing, gender classification and machine learning, and gender dimorphism, among others."

Abstract： Spatial navigation is an essential high-level cognitive function in daily life. However, the involved brain regions such as hippocampus and entorhinal cortex are vulnerable to aging and result in structural atrophy and functional alterations. Using the experimental paradigms like animal experiments, pencil-paper tests, and real-world navigation, early studies explored the behavioral performance of spatial navigation in older adults. By virtue of having similar scenes with realistic environment, compatible with magnetic resonance imaging scanning, and navigator could have interactions with scenes, virtual reality is increasingly applied in the age-related spatial navigation research, revealing the important role of medial temporal cortex such as hippocampus in age-related spatial navigation studies.

Abstract： With the development of the Internet, more and more attention has been paid to online verbal aggressive and prosocial behavior, both of which are essentially the expression of individual emotions and are closely related to the changes of individual emotions. In this paper, we crawled the data from Microblog the most popular social software in China, obtaining the word frequency data of aggressive and prosocial behavior, and analyzed the time trend with seasonal differences of these two behaviors. The results show that the time trends of aggressive and prosocial behavior are highly consistent in a year. The frequency of aggressive words in Microblog is significantly different in different seasons (F=2.935, P= 037), in which the frequency of words in winter is significantly higher than that in autumn; the frequency of prosocial words is also significantly different in different seasons (F=14.51, P<0.05), in which the frequency of words in winter is significantly higher than that in other seasons.

Abstract： Players preferences for different types of games are influenced by their own characteristics. The number of players determines that the mode of single player game is more independent, while the mode of online game mode is more collaborative. Given that individualism individuals tend to emphasize independence, collectivism individuals emphasize collaboration. We hypothesized that players’ individualism-collectivism tendency may affect their preference for single player game or online game. This study used Weibo user’s data to explore whether there was a difference in individualism-collectivism words expressions between single player game players and online game players. Then we used these features to predict players single player or online game preferences. The result showed that single player game players expressed more individualism words in Weibo, while online game players expressed more collectivism words. Using machine learning method, individualism-collectivism words expressions could predict players type, but accuracy of the model was low. This study provided preliminary evidence for using Weibo data to identify users preference for games, thus had certain application value.
