Jiao, Lu; Timmer, Kalinka; Liu, Cong; Chen, Baoguo – Cognitive Science, 2022
The relationship between bilingual language control and executive control is debated. The present study investigated the effect of short-term language switching in a comprehension task on executive control performance in unbalanced bilinguals. Participants were required to perform a context task and an executive control task (i.e., flanker task)…

Garrido, Margarida V.; Prada, Marília; Simão, Cláudia; Semin, Gün R. – Cognitive Science, 2019
In two experiments, we examined the impact of color on cognitive performance by asking participants to categorize stimuli presented in three different colors: red, green, and gray (baseline). Participants were either asked to categorize the meaning of words as related to the concepts of "go" or "stop" (Experiment 1) or to…

Saryazdi, Raheleh; Nuque, Joanne; Chambers, Craig G. – Cognitive Science, 2022
Redundant modifiers can facilitate referential interpretation by narrowing attention to intended referents. This is intriguing because, on traditional accounts, redundancy should impair comprehension. Little is known, however, about the effects of redundancy on older adults' comprehension. Older adults may show different patterns due to…

Matthews, Percival G.; Lewis, Mark R. – Cognitive Science, 2017
Although many researchers theorize that primitive numerosity processing abilities may lay the foundation for whole number concepts, other classes of numbers, like fractions, are sometimes assumed to be inaccessible to primitive architectures. This research presents evidence that the automatic processing of nonsymbolic magnitudes affects processing…

Siakaluk, Paul D.; Knol, Nathan; Pexman, Penny M. – Cognitive Science, 2014
In this study, we examined the effects of emotional experience, a relatively new dimension of emotional knowledge that gauges the ease with which words evoke emotional experience, on abstract word processing in the Stroop task. In order to test the context-dependency of these effects, we accentuated the saliency of this dimension in Experiment 1A…

Koolen, Ruud; Goudbeek, Martijn; Krahmer, Emiel – Cognitive Science, 2013
This study investigates to what extent the amount of variation in a visual scene causes speakers to mention the attribute color in their definite target descriptions, focusing on scenes in which this attribute is not needed for identification of the target. The results of our three experiments show that speakers are more likely to redundantly…

Xu, Yun; Higgins, Emily C.; Xiao, Mei; Pomplun, Marc – Cognitive Science, 2007
Color coding is used to guide attention in computer displays for such critical tasks as baggage screening or air traffic control. It has been shown that a display object attracts more attention if its color is more similar to the color for which one is searching. However, what does "similar" precisely mean? Can we predict the amount of attention…
