Silence after narratives by patients in psychodynamic psychotherapy: a conversation analytic study.
Fenner C pubmed id: 39679161In therapy, talking is important, but sometimes silence happens because people are thinking or unsure about talking more.

Toward the role of social agency in explaining the personalization effect.
Lindhaus M; Bolin JS; Weßeling L; Oest L; Dutke S pubmed id: 39679153The study looked at whether making learning materials more personal helps students learn better.

Hennig J; Doose A; Breier CM; Soutschek A; Beyer N; Schweinberger S; Kamp-Becker I; Poustka L; Albertowski K; Roessner V; Ehrlich S pubmed id: 39676584This study looked at how boys with autism see faces and found that they did not show a strong preference for seeing faces of their own gender. This suggests that boys with autism may not process faces in the same way as other kids, but their brains still have a lot in common with kids who don't have autism. The researchers believe more study is needed to understand how people with autism see the world.
