The fundamental role of EF is to produce coordinated and purposeful behavior ( Funahashi, 2001). The findings are discussed in reference to models of limited cognitive resources.Įxecutive function (EF) refers to the advanced cognitive processes (e.g., purposely switching attention) that regulate, control, and manage lower-level unconscious cognitive processes (e.g., automatic attention) when conducting complex cognitive tasks.
In Experiment 3 ( N = 20), functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) data showed that the high frequency group had a higher concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin (Coxy-Hb), an indicator of higher brain activation consistent with a greater use of cognitive resources this group also had lower scores on the behavioral EF tasks. In Experiment 2 ( N = 20), eye tracking data showed more but shorter eye fixations in the high frequency group, suggesting a higher demand on cognitive resources this group also did more poorly on behavioral measures of EF. In Experiment 1 ( N = 90), which also included a control group, there was an immediate negative effect of watching frequent fantastical events, as seen in lower scores on the behavioral EF tasks. Parents completed a questionnaire to assess preschoolers’ hyperactivity level as a potential confounding variable. In all three experiments, children were randomly assigned to watch a video with either frequent or infrequent fantastical events their EF was immediately assessed after viewing, using behavioral measures of working memory, sustained attention, and cognitive flexibility. Pssyppl holds a Master of Arts in Fine Art Drawing from Camberwell College of Arts in the UK.Three experiments were conducted to test whether watching an animated show with frequent fantastical events decreased Chinese preschoolers’ post-viewing executive function (EF), and to test possible mechanisms of this effect. He works across multiple disciplines including digital art, NFT, design, and sculptures. His artworks about politics and society have been featured in Global Voices, Nifty Zone and Exotic Quixotic. Pssyppl is based in Thailand and has a strong following in the online art community. He continues to fight and find ways to bring freedom of ideas, art and design to the world, past the obstacles in an environment that tries to stifle the outspoken. Art is used as an alternative way to discuss and reflects the truth. Underneath the surface of Surrealistic expressions are the artist’s anger and frustration about the inability of the public to do anything to fix the corrupted society, where speaking of the truth is often forbidden.
The artist is passionate about examining the corruptness around - be it in the systemic level or individual level - thus his works transcends political art. Who are these people with bad intentions? What did they do? How unfair is the society? The deeds and the suffering are revealed on the canvas through questions and symbolism. Imaginations running wild, looming and dooming figures, symbolism calling for visceral reactions… Pssyppl creates fantastical imagery that draws viewers into what is seemingly an otherworldly realm but in fact are satirical reflections of issues in the present world.
