Humans, Culture, and the Age of AI: Why Cultural Psychology Needs a Rethink

A new paper by IOE’s Pavel Sorokin revisits one of the most ambitious ideas in modern psychology: the attempt—championed by Estonian psychologist Aaro Toomela—to rebuild cultural psychology as a unified science of the human mind and its environment.

In Cultural Psychology for a Technologically Transformed Society: A Neo-Structuration Perspective, Sorokin argues that this project arrives at exactly the right moment. Our world is no longer shaped only by institutions, traditions, and language—but increasingly by digital systems and artificial intelligence that produce culture alongside humans. In this rapidly shifting landscape, understanding how the human psyche interacts with culture is no longer just an academic question. It may be essential for navigating the future: https://ioe.hse.ru/en/news/1136371414.html

Freedom to Learn Online, and Why Strategy Matters

Online learning promises flexibility. In asynchronous courses, students can decide when, how, and in what order to engage with learning materials. Yet this freedom comes with new challenges. Without a prescribed learning sequence, students must design their own pathways, and these choices can shape not only how much they learn, but how difficult learning feels: https://ioe.hse.ru/en/news/1129780235.html

Upping the Learning Ante: Why Brain Pre-gaming Is the Cognitive Priming Everyone Needs

Is “pre-training” the unsung hero of effective learning—or just an unnecessary hurdle for already smart students? That’s the research quest Anna Gorbunova, Anastasiia Kapuza, Ouhao Chen, and Jamie Costley embark on in their recent study, Rethinking Pre-training: Cognitive Load Implications for Learners with Varying Prior Knowledge. Published in Frontiers in Psychology, their work dives into how priming your mind before tackling complex material can transform the learning experience, challenging long-held beliefs about how we actually absorb knowledge: https://ioe.hse.ru/en/news/1128838647.html
