Servant, Mathieu; Cassey, Peter; Woodman, Geoffrey F.; Logan, Gordon D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Automaticity allows us to perform tasks in a fast, efficient, and effortless manner after sufficient practice. Theories of automaticity propose that across practice processing transitions from being controlled by working memory to being controlled by long-term memory retrieval. Recent event-related potential (ERP) studies have sought to test this…

Yamaguchi, Motonori; Logan, Gordon D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Hierarchical control of skilled performance depends on the ability of higher level control to process several lower level units as a single chunk. The present study investigated the development of hierarchical control of skilled typewriting, focusing on the process of memory chunking. In the first 3 experiments, skilled typists typed words or…

Schneider, Darryl W.; Logan, Gordon D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2005
Switch costs in task switching are commonly attributed to an executive control process of task-set reconfiguration, particularly in studies involving the explicit task-cuing procedure. The authors propose an alternative account of explicitly cued performance that is based on 2 mechanisms: priming of cue encoding from residual activation of cues in…
