Szewczyk, Jakub M.; Mech, Emily N.; Federmeier, Kara D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Can a single adjective immediately influence message-building during sentence processing? We presented participants with 168 sentence contexts, such as "His skin was red from spending the day at the …" Sentences ended with either the most expected word ("beach") or a low cloze probability completion ("pool"). Nouns…

Wang, Botao; Zhou, Huan; Duan, Haijun; Wang, Xuewei; Song, Baoping; Hu, Weiping – Creativity Research Journal, 2021
The present study aimed to explore the neural-related mechanism of the creative evaluation process in individual with different levels of creativity. The time course of evaluation process for creative objects was monitored by event-related potentials (EPRs). Forty-five participants were divided into the high-creativity performance (HCP) group and…

Mottarella, Malayka; Yamasaki, Brianna L.; Prat, Chantel S. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
Individual differences in reading skill have frequently been related to variability in working memory capacity; however, it is unclear what drives this relation. The present study investigated two attentional control mechanisms that may contribute to this relation: proactive control and online filtering. To examine how the neural mechanisms of…

Panzer, Stefan; Pfeifer, Christina; Leinen, Peter; Shea, Charles – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
The aim of this experiment was to determine if dyad practice helped individuals become aware, use, and retain information in a dynamically changing perceptual-motor task compared with practice alone. We used a computerized perceptual-motor task, where individuals were required to intercept balls that dropped from the top of the screen. A colored…

Chen, Jinglu; Tan, Ling; Liu, Lu; Wang, Ling – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
It has been demonstrated that the Simon effect may be increased or reversed due to proportion congruency manipulation, suggesting that learned spatial irrelevant stimulus-response (S-R) associations are used to guide responses. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that learning spatial irrelevant S-R associations by rewards may show a similar…

Muraki, Emiko J.; Pexman, Penny M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
In embodied theories of semantic representation, the processes and mechanisms of modal simulations that are engaged during semantic processing have tended to be underspecified. We investigated the possibility that motor imagery may be a mechanism of simulation, using an individual differences approach. In this preregistered study, we assessed…
