What Is the Role of Sustained Visual Attention in the Maintenance of Postural Control in Young Adults? Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2023-11-09 Mallory E Terry,David Shulman,Lori Ann Vallis
Dual tasks requiring sustained visual attention and upright stance are common, yet their impact on standing balance is not well understood. We investigated the role of visual attention in the maintenance of postural control, using the multiple-object tracking (MOT) task. Healthy young adults (n = 12) performed the MOT task at three object movement speeds while seated or standing. MOT performance was

The Role of Motor Representation in Enactment Effect of Action Memory. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2023-10-13 Xinyuan Zhang,Leonardo Assumpcao,Lijuan Wang
Noun-verb phrases are more efficiently remembered when they are enacted during learning than when they are only verbally studied, a phenomenon known as the enactment effect. While studies have debated whether motor information is key to this effect, our study explores whether the organization of motor information can support the enactment effect. We used the retrieval-practice paradigm to induce retrieval-induced

Collaborative Retrieval Practice Reduces Mind-Wandering During Learning. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2023-10-13 Alexander G Knopps,Kathryn T Wissman
Research has shown engaging in retrieval practice can reduce the frequency of mind-wandering. However, no prior research has examined how engaging in collaborative (as compared to individual) retrieval practice impacts mind-wandering during learning. In the current experiment, participants were asked to study a list of words, followed by retrieval practice that either occurred collaboratively (as a

Acute Social Stress Influences Moral Decision-Making Under Different Social Distances in Young Healthy Men. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2023-08-17 Ziyan Huang,Xiao Xiao,Changlin Liu,Qinhong Cai,Chan Liu,Qianbao Tan,Youlong Zhan
Acute social stress has been shown to influence social decision-making. This study aimed to examine how social distance modulates the influence of acute social stress on young male moral decision-making. Sixty healthy male college students were randomly divided to be exposed to the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) or a placebo version of the TSST (P-TSST) before they performed moral decision-making

Attentional Biases Toward Spiders Do Not Modulate Retrieval. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2023-08-17 Lars-Michael Schöpper,Verena Küpper,Christian Frings
When responding to stimuli, response and stimulus' features are thought to be integrated into a short episodic memory trace, an event file. Repeating any of its components causes retrieval of the whole event file leading to benefits for full repetitions and changes but interference for partial repetitions. These binding effects are especially pronounced if attention is allocated to certain features

The Active Suppression of a Distractor's Location Can Be Elusive. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2023-08-03 Jillian R Taylor,Jason Ivanoff
Our visual system is inundated with distracting objects that vie for our attention. While visual attention selects relevant information, inhibitory mechanisms might be useful to suppress the locations occupied by irrelevant distractors. Yet, there is a dearth of behavioral evidence for the active suppression of a distractor's location (ASDL) using central cues that provide preliminary information about

Does Watching Videos With Natural Scenery Restore Attentional Resources? Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2023-05-03 Andree Hartanto,Nicole Lee Anne Teo,Verity Y Q Lua,Keith J Y Tay,Nicole R Y Chen,Nadyanna M Majeed
Existing studies have shown that direct exposure to a real nature environment has a restorative effect on attentional resources after a mentally fatiguing task. However, it remains unclear whether virtual nature simulations can serve as a substitute for real nature experienced in the outdoors to restore executive attention. Given the mixed findings in the literature, the present study sought to examine

A Diffusion Model Analysis of Object-Based Selective Attention in the Eriksen Flanker Task. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2023-05-01 Paul Kelber,Martina Gierlich,Jonathan Göth,Martin Georg Jeschke,Ian Grant Mackenzie,Victor Mittelstädt
Selective attention might be space-, feature-, and/or object-based. Clear support for the involvement of an object-based mechanism is rather scarce, possibly because the predictions of models from these different classes often overlap. Yet, only object-based models can account for a larger congruency effect (CE) in the Eriksen flanker task when flankers are more (vs. less) strongly grouped to the target

The Effects of Implicit Theories on Body Weight Information Avoidance. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2023-05-01 Charlotte J Hagerman,Michelle L Stock,Stacy Post,Zeljka Macura,Philip J Moore,Tonya Dodge,Philip W Wirtz
Regular self-weighing is associated with more effective weight control, yet many individuals avoid weight-related information. Implicit theories about weight, or perceptions of how malleable weight is, predict more effortful weight management and may also influence weight-related information avoidance. Participants (N = 209) were randomly assigned to read an article stressing an incremental theory

The Forward Testing Effect Is Resistant to Acute Psychosocial Retrieval Stress. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2023-03-14 Bernhard Pastötter,Bernadette von Dawans,Gregor Domes,Christian Frings
The forward testing effect refers to the finding that testing of previously studied information improves memory for subsequently studied newer information. Recent research showed that the effect is immune to acute psychosocial encoding/retrieval stress, i.e., stress that is induced before initial encoding. The present study investigated whether the forward testing effect is also robust to acute psychosocial

The Effects of Activating Gender-Related Social Roles on Financial Risk-Taking. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2023-03-14 Katarzyna Sekścińska,Diana Jaworska,Joanna Rudzinska-Wojciechowska,Petko Kusev
Previous studies observed differences between men and women in terms of their financial risk-taking. However, these differences may stem not only from the gender of the decision-maker but also from other factors, such as stereotypical gender social roles. Media content exposes both men and women to stereotypical portrayals of their gender, and this might temporarily activate thoughts related to their

How Disability Stereotypes Shape Memory for Personal Attributes. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2023-03-01 Tobias Tempel,Simon Baur
Two experiments examined effects of including an information about a disability in a person description on memory about that person's traits. In Experiment 1, this information impaired correct recognition of traits of a person that had been described in correspondence to gender stereotypes. In Experiment 2, it induced false memories in accordance with stereotypes about people with disabilities. Participants'

The Online Processing of Hypothetical Events. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2023-03-01 Likan Zhan,Peng Zhou
A conditional statement If P then Q is formed by combining the two propositions P and Q together with the conditional connective If ··· then ···. When embedded under the conditional connective, the two propositions P and Q describe hypothetical events that are not actualized. It remains unclear when such hypothetical thinking is activated in the real-time comprehension of conditional statements. To

The Influence of Posture on Attention. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-11-01 Emilie E Caron,Laura R Marusich,Jonathan Z Bakdash,Reynolds J Ballotti,Andrew M Tague,Jonathan S A Carriere,Daniel Smilek,Derek Harter,Shulan Lu,Michael G Reynolds
Smith et al. (2019) found standing resulted in better performance than sitting in three different cognitive control paradigms: a Stroop task, a task-switching, and a visual search paradigm. Here, we conducted close replications of the authors' three experiments using larger sample sizes than the original work. Our sample sizes had essentially perfect power to detect the key postural effects reported

The Effects of Semantic and Syntactic Prediction on Reading Aloud. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-11-01 Elisa Gavard,Johannes C Ziegler
Semantic and syntactic prediction effects were investigated in a word naming task using semantic or syntactic contexts that varied between three and six words. Participants were asked to read the contexts silently and name a target word, which was indicated by a color change. Semantic contexts were composed of lists of semantically associated words without any syntactic information. Syntactic contexts

Task Demands Differentially Affect Processing of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Object Features in Working Memory. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-11-01 Alexander Kirmsse,Hubert D Zimmer,Ullrich K H Ecker
Some argue that visual working memory operates on integrated object representations. Here, we contend that obligatory feature integration occurs with intrinsic but not extrinsic object features. Working memory for shapes and colors was assessed using a change-detection task with a central test probe, while recording event-related potentials (ERPs). Color was either an intrinsic surface feature of a

Semantic Relatedness Effects in Serial Recall But Not in Serial Reconstruction of Order. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-10-28 Ian Neath,Jean Saint-Aubin,Aimée M Surprenant
Lists of semantically related words are better recalled than lists of unrelated words on immediate serial recall tests. Prominent explanations for this beneficial effect of semantic relatedness, such as the item/order hypothesis, invoke differential contributions of item and order information and predict that on tests that de-emphasize item information, the effect of semantic relatedness will be abolished

The Development of the Missing-Letter Effect Revisited. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-09-01 Annie Roy-Charland,Marie-Michelle Collin,Jacques Richard
When participants read a text for comprehension while identifying a target letter, the letter is more often missed in a frequent function word than in a less frequent content word. This is the missing-letter effect. Studies have shown the importance of both frequency and word function. The role of each of these factors in development is less understood. The goal of this study was to revisit the influence

Probability, Dependency, and Frequency Are Not All Equally Involved in Statistical Learning. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-09-01 Laura Lazartigues,Fabien Mathy,Frédéric Lavigne
The ability to learn sequences depends on different factors governing sequence structure, such as transitional probability (TP, probability of a stimulus given a previous stimulus), adjacent or nonadjacent dependency, and frequency. Current evidence indicates that adjacent and nonadjacent pairs are not equally learnable; the same applies to second-order and first-order TPs and to the frequency of the

The Impact of Depth of Encoding on the Transfer of Test Enhanced Learning. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-09-01 Donnelle DiMarco,Harvey Marmurek
The mediator effectiveness hypothesis states the benefit of retrieval practice is a consequence of the activation of mediators linking cue and target items during review. Evidence has found that mediators are more effective at prompting recall of target words than words not associated with the original cue, a pattern that is larger following testing than restudy. The benefit of testing for unstudied

No Correlation Between Mood or Motivation and the Processing of Global and Local Information. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-09-01 Alberto De Luca,Stephan Verschoor,Bernhard Hommel
Mood has been argued to impact the breadth of human attention, but the empirical evidence supporting this claim remains shaky. Gable and Harmon-Jones (2008) have attributed previous empirical inconsistencies regarding the effect of mood on attentional breath to a critical role of approach/avoidance motivation. They demonstrated that the combination of positive affect with high, but not with low, motivational

Do Beliefs About Font Size Affect Retrospective Metamemory Judgments in Addition to Prospective Judgments? Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-08-17 Karlos Luna,Pedro B Albuquerque
Beliefs about how memory works explain several effects on prospective metamemory judgments (e.g., the effect of font size on judgments of learning; JOLs). Less is known about the effect of beliefs on retrospective judgments (i.e., confidence). Here, we tested whether font size also affects confidence ratings and whether beliefs play a similar role in confidence than in JOLs. In two experiments, participants

Do People Work Hard to Maintain Social Distance? Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-07-01 Rachel E Robinson,David A Rosenbaum
How far away from each other people sit or stand reveals much about their social proximity, but merely sitting or standing may not test the limits of social boundaries as much as collaborating on tasks requiring physical coordination. In this study, we asked university students to walk two abreast while carrying a long pipe from one end of a workspace to another. Hurdles in the workspace forced the

Space-Time Congruency Effects Using Eye Movements During Processing of Past- and Future-Related Words. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-07-01 Camille L Grasso,Johannes C Ziegler,Jennifer T Coull,Marie Montant
In Western cultures where people read and write from left to right, time is represented along a spatial continuum that goes from left to right (past to future), known as the mental timeline (MTL). In language, this MTL was supported by space-time congruency effects: People are faster to make lexical decisions to words conveying past or future information when left/right manual responses are compatible

The Nature of Word Associations in Sentence Contexts. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-06-13 Clara Planchuelo,Francisco Buades-Sitjar,José Antonio Hinojosa,Jon Andoni Duñabeitia
How words are interrelated in the human mind is a scientific topic on which there is still no consensus, with different views on how word co-occurrence and semantic relatedness mediate word association. Recent research has shown that lexical associations are strongly predicted by the similarity of those words in terms of valence, arousal, and concreteness ratings. In the current study, we aimed at

Individual Differences in the Evolution of Counting. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-06-13 Jasinta D M Dewi,Catherine Thevenot
The alphabet-arithmetic paradigm, in which adults are asked to add a numeral addend to a letter augend (e.g., D + 3 = G), was conceived to mimic the way children learn addition. Studies using this paradigm often conclude that procedural learning leads to the memorization of associations between operands and answers. However, as recently suggested, memorization might only be used by a minority of participants

Loud Auditory Distractors Are More Difficult to Ignore After All. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-05-01 Lejla Alikadic,Jan Philipp Röer
Working memory performance is markedly disrupted when task-irrelevant sound is played during item presentation or retention. In a preregistered replication study, we systematically examined the role of intensity in two types of auditory distraction. The first type of distraction is the changing-state effect (i.e., increased disruption by changing-state relative to steady-state sequences). The second

Actions Do Not Always Speak Louder Than Words. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-05-01 Agata Ludwiczak,Zoe Adams,Magda Osman
Financial (dis)incentives (e.g., bonuses, taxes) and social incentives (e.g., public praise) have typically been proposed as methods to encourage greater cooperation for the benefit of all. However, when cooperation requires exertion of effort, such interventions might not always be effective. While incentives tend to be highly motivating when choosing to exert effort, evidence suggests that they have

The Pervasive Problem of Post Hoc Data Selection in Studies on Unconscious Processing. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-03-11 Marcus Rothkirch,David R Shanks,Guido Hesselmann
Studies on unconscious mental processes typically require that participants are unaware of some information (e.g., a visual stimulus). An important methodological question in this field of research is how to deal with data from participants who become aware of the critical stimulus according to some measure of awareness. While it has previously been argued that the post hoc selection of participants

The Production Effect Interacts With Serial Positions. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-03-11 Sébastien Gionet,Dominic Guitard,Jean Saint-Aubin
Reading some words aloud during presentation, that is, producing them, and reading other words silently generate a large memory advantage for words that are produced. This robust within-list production effect is in contrast with the between-lists condition in which all words are read aloud or silently. In a between-lists condition, produced items are better recognized, but not better recalled. The

Functional Specificity of the Affordance of Reaching. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Tyler Surber,Tyler Overstreet,Hannah Masoner,Catherine Dowell,Alen Hajnal
The information that specifies whether an object is within reach is a complex pattern that depends on body-scaled parameters measured from an egocentric reference point. The pattern is a function of relevant body proportions (eye height, shoulder height [SH], arm length) with respect to the spatial location of the target object. In addition to not knowing how these factors map onto perception, it is

In Search of the Preference Reversal Zone. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Steven Glautier,Hedwig Eisenbarth,Anne Macaskill
A preference reversal is observed when a preference for a larger-later (LL) reward over a smaller-sooner (SS) reward reverses as both rewards come closer in time. Preference reversals are common in everyday life and in the laboratory and are often claimed to support hyperbolic delay-discounting models which, in their simplest form, can model reversals with only one free parameter. However, it is not

Further Evidence for the Binding and Retrieval of Control-States From the Flanker Task. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2021-12-15 David Dignath,Andrea Kiesel
In response-interference tasks, congruency effects are reduced in trials that follow an incongruent trial. This congruence sequence effect (CSE) has been taken to reflect top-down cognitive control processes that monitor for and intervene in case of conflict. In contrast, episodic-memory accounts explain CSEs with bottom-up retrieval of stimulus-response links. Reconciling these opposing views, an

Doubts About the Role of Rehearsal in the Irrelevant Sound Effect. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2021-12-15 Jamielyn R Samper,Alexandra Morrison,Jason Chein
The irrelevant sound effect (ISE) describes the disruption of processes involved in maintaining information in working memory (WM) when irrelevant noise is present in the environment. While some posit that the ISE arises due to split obligation of attention to the irrelevant sound and the to-be-remembered information, others have argued that background noise corrupts the order of information within

Fixed Attributes and Discounting Behavior Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2021-11-01 Qiongwen Cao,Andre Hofmeyr,Eustace Hsu,Shan Luo,John Monterosso
Abstract. Delay discounting tasks present alternatives that differ in two attributes: amount and delay. Typically, choice is modeled by application of a discount function to each option, allowing alternative-wise comparison. However, if participants make decisions by comparing attributes, manipulations that affect the salience of either attribute may affect patience. In Experiment 1, participants completed

The Postural Effect on the Memory of Manipulable Objects. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2021-11-01 Léo Dutriaux,Valérie Gyselinck
The grounded cognition approach posits the involvement of sensory-motor processes in the representation of knowledge. However, the functional impact of these processes on cognition has been questioned, and some authors have explored the effect of motor interference on memory to test causally this hypothesis. In a seminal study, Dutriaux and Gyselinck (2016) showed that keeping the hands behind the

The Challenge of Inferring Unconscious Mental Processes. Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2021-08-26 David R Shanks,Simone Malejka,Miguel A Vadillo
Studies of unconscious mental processes often compare a performance measure (e.g., some assessment of perception or memory) with a measure of awareness (e.g., a verbal report or forced-choice response) of the critical cue or contingency taken either concurrently or separately. The resulting patterns of bivariate data across participants lend themselves to several analytic approaches for inferring the

Binding between representations of stimuli and actions and later retrieval of these compounds provide efficient shortcuts in action control. Recent observations indicate that these mechanisms are not only effective when action episodes go as planned, but they also seem to be at play when actions go awry. Moreover, the human cognitive system even corrects traces of error commission on the fly because

Is the Suppression Effect of the Color Red on Snack Food Consumption Reliable? Experimental Psychology (IF 1.667) Pub Date : 2021-07-01 Kenneth M Steele,Laura L Rash
Two articles hypothesized that exposure to the color red would induce a state of avoidance motivation and reported that snack food consumption was decreased when the food was served on red plates, relative to white and blue plates. The current experiment combined their procedures and approximately tripled their group sizes. Participants were provided with pretzels on red, white, or blue plates in a
