Insights in Attention: 2022
Frontiers has organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in research across the field of cognition, with articles from Members of our accomplished Editorial Boards and from a curated list of experts in their field. This editorial initiative of particular relevance, led by Prof. Juan Lupiáñez, Specialty Chief Editor of the Attention section, is focused on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances, and future perspectives in the field of attention.
Voluntary and Involuntary Control of Automatic Processing in Spatial Congruency Tasks
This special issue of the European Journal of Cognitive Psychology focuses on spatial congruency effects. The dominant view that has emerged after 50 years of research on this topic is that an automatic route processes task-irrelevant spatial information, while another, controlled, route supports rule-based response activation. However, in line with recent literature, this issue reports studies that show that what has been considered automatic, is in fact subject to various control processes. Consequently, in order to account successfully for congruency effects, dual-route models should be adapted so that they can account for between- and within-trial modulation of congruency effects. On the...
Spatial Dimensions of Social Thought
Space provides the stage for our social lives - social thought evolved and developed in a constant interaction with space. The volume demonstrates how this has led to an astonishing intertwining of spatial and social thought. For the first time, research on language comprehension, metaphors, priming, spatial perception, face perception, art history and other fields is brought together to provide an integrative view. This overview confirms that often, metaphors reveal a deeper truth about how our mind uses spatial information to represent social concepts. Yet, the evidence also goes beyond this insight, showing for instance how flexible our mind operates with spatial metaphors, how the peculi...

The Oxford Handbook of Synesthesia
Synesthesia is a fascinating phenomenon which has captured the imagination of scientists and artists alike. This title brings together a broad body of knowledge about this condition into one definitive state-of-the-art handbook.
Spatial Biases in Perception and Cognition
Numerous spatial biases influence navigation, interactions, and preferences in our environment. This volume considers their influences on perception and memory.
Humor and Horror
Despite their opposite emotional effects, humor and horror are highly similar phenomena. They both can be traced back to (the detection, resolution, and emotional elaboration of) incongruities, understood as semantic violations through unexpected combinations of oppositional information. However, theoretical and experimental comparisons between humor and resolvable incongruities that elicit other emotions than exhilaration have been lacking so far. To gain more insights into the linguistic differences between humor and horror and the cognitive real-time processing of both, a main concern of this book is to discuss the transferability of linguistic humor theories to a systematic horror invest...
Cognitive Linguistics
Cognitive Linguistics is not a unified theory of language but rather a set of flexible and mutually compatible theoretical frameworks. This volume is of interest to scholars and students wishing to inform themselves about the state and possible future developments of Cognitive Linguistics
