Exchange Policy

The article analyzes the distinctive features of the PRC foreign exchange policy from the historical perspective, taking the national color into account and emphasizing the traditions-modernity unity in its strategy. It reviews the debates over renminbi exchange rate, disclosing the weakness of the modern international foreign exchange law. It systemizes the practices of international pressures applied to China in this aspect. It is stated, that China’s foreign exchange reforming process is of a long-term nature, and it will be completed only by the time the Chinese economy gets adjusted to the world market’s requirements.

AbstractVisual Perspective Taking (VPT) is the ability to see the world from another person’s perspective, taking into account what they see and how they see it, drawing upon both spatial and social information. Children with autism often find it difficult to understand that other people might have perspectives, viewpoints, beliefs and knowledge that are different from their own, which is a fundamental aspect of VPT. In this research we aimed to develop a methodology to assist children with autism develop their VPT skills using a humanoid robot and present results from our first long-term pilot study. The games we devised were implemented with the Kaspar robot and, to our knowledge, this is the first attempt to improve the VPT skills of children with autism through playing and interacting with a humanoid robot.We describe in detail the standard pre- and post-assessments that we performed with the children in order to measure their progress and also the inclusion criteria derived fromthe results for future studies in this field. Our findings suggest that some children may benefit from this approach of learning about VPT, which shows that this approach merits further investigation.

Research has established that GPS use negatively affects environmental learning and navigation in laboratory studies. Furthermore, the ability to mentally rotate objects and imagine locations from other perspectives (both known as spatial transformations) is positively related to environmental learning. Using previously validated spatial transformation and environmental learning tasks, the current study assessed a theoretical model where long-term GPS use is associated with worse mental rotation and perspective-taking spatial transformation abilities, which then predicts decreased ability to learn novel environments. We expected this prediction to hold even after controlling for self-reported navigation ability, which is also associated with better spatial transformation and environmental learning capabilities. We found that mental rotation and perspective-taking ability fully account for the effect of GPS use on learning of a virtual environment. This relationship remained after controlling for existing navigation ability. Specifically, GPS use is negatively associated with perspective-taking indirectly through mental rotation; we propose that GPS use affects the transformation ability common to mental rotation and perspective-taking.

ABSTRACTUnderstanding the impact of microgravity on human cognitive performance is crucial to guarantee the safety and success of future long-term manned missions. The effects of weightlessness on key mental processes such as spatial abilities are in particular not fully characterized. In this study, we examine the influence of microgravity on perspective-taking abilities—a type of mental operation especially relevant in the context of collaborative teamwork between ‘free-floating’ astronauts. Twelve subjects performed a cooperative task in virtual-reality under both normal and short-term microgravity conditions during a parabolic flight. The task involved various degrees of mental transformations, and required subjects to perform actions instructed by a fellow astronaut aboard a virtual spacecraft. The experimental design allowed us to control for nuisance variables, training effects, and non-gravity related factors of parabolic flights. Overall, our results indicated that microgravity has a facilitatory effect on perspective-taking abilities. Notably, this facilitation was selective to conditions requiring subjects to rotate their perspective around their line of sight, i.e., for mental rotations in the frontal plane. Moreover, microgravity affected subjects differently depending on their visual field dependence, as determined via a classic rod-and-frame test. Specifically, improvement in performance was more pronounced in field-independent subjects. Together, these results shed light on a long standing debate about the impact of microgravity on egocentric mental imagery, and have direct operational consequences for future long-term missions.

Previous studies report that the inhibition of one’s own perspective in favour of acknowledging somebody else’s perspective relates to the neurotypical development of Theory of Mind (ToM) processes. ToM processing seems to be negatively affected in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia (PwS). Different tasks, using different populations, have been used to examine ToM (e.g. Hinting, facial emotion recognition, on-line perspective-taking), making generalizations problematic. We investigated ToM processing, using different paradigms, in one patient group on long-term second-generation antipsychotic treatment for schizophrenia and in neurotypical controls. Methods: Twenty-five patients on treatment with second-generation anti-psychotic medication for schizophrenia for more than ten years and neurotypical controls took part in a Hinting task, a facial emotion recognition task, and an on-line visual computational perspective-taking task. A battery of neuropsychological tests provided the input of a Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Results: Patients performed significantly less effectively than controls on the Hinting Task, and even patients in remittance struggled more with the task. No significant differences in facial emotion recognition between groups were found. The on-line perspective-taking task results revealed that controls, but not patients, presented an intrusion of the other perspective when judging their own perspective (altercentric behaviour). Reaction time results revealed that patients were significantly slower than controls when evaluating the “Other” perspective. The results of the perspective-taking task were examined further by relating them to components from the PCA. Errors in perspective-taking appeared correlated mostly to difficulties in mentalizing and cognitive control (neurotypical participants) and to hinting comprehension skills (patients). Conclusions: Results suggest that mentalizing and cognitive control are relevant functions for perspective-taking and that even after long-term treatment with second-generation antipsychotics, patients still have more difficulties in judging the Other perspective. The facial emotion recognition task suggested that facial emotion recognition is a separate interpretation skill not directly related to ToM
