Using state-of-the-art machine-learning techniques we showed that future changes in the cognitive salience of contacts can be predicted from pre-existing (and potential) interactions, both in terms of communication and propinquity behavior.
For example, the CRF-1 antagonist CP-154,526 has been reported to increase cocaine-associated dopamine release, at least in rostral shell of nucleus accumbens and pre-frontal cortex [ 53], and so any speculation about the potential relation of CRF antagonists to incentive salience must await future empirical investigation.
The results of the recall election in Wisconsin on Tuesday night may tell us something about the future of the labor movement and the salience of collective bargaining rights as an issue to swing voters.
While it might be a compensatory effect, future studies to investigate the synchronization between the salience network and the voluntary emotional regulation (central executive) network during performing the Stroop task scan is necessary to explain the phenomenon.
In cognitive terms, the results suggest that the effects of inhibitory considerations of the future are superimposed on the limbic signals of the incentive salience of immediate rewards.
Future research should aim to separate out the effects of emotionality, salience and human faces by integrating additional conditions (such as neutral images with and without faces).
Covering the eyes had less influence on subjects that viewed model MC than subjects who viewed model WG (see also Supplemental Information), potentially indicating that differences in the facial features or expression of the two models affected the salience of cues, and highlighting an interesting area for future research.
The fertility levels in Latin American countries continue to converge with that of the U.S., so while the cultural assimilation of immigrants may have been important for understanding fertility patterns among past and current generations of immigrants, the salience of this factor is likely to decline among future cohorts.
Finally, while only suggestive at this stage, expanding the work on asymmetries and non-reciprocities in both cognitive salience and behavioral interactions seems like a promising avenue of future research.
Given the evidence for the salience of peers and social context on the adolescents' pain experience, future directions in this area include more in depth investigations of the decision making processes that impact adolescents' pain behaviors via social information-processing.
