Peper, Phil; Alakbarova, Durna; Ball, B. Hunter – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Prospective memory (PM) refers to the ability to remember to complete a task at the appropriate moment in the future. Past research has found reminders can improve PM performance in both laboratory and naturalistic settings, but few projects have examined the circumstances when and what types of reminders are most beneficial. Three experiments in…

Yugo Hayashi – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
During collaborative small group problem-solving, a group member with a minority perspective has a notable influence on the majority's perspective. However, the type of interactions with such a member could influence a stalemate, and the relationships between internal and task conflicts and the convergence process remain unclear. This study…

Donna Bryce; Florian Kattner; Teresa Birngruber; Paul Wellingerhof – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Knowing what one knows and accurately monitoring one's own capacities and performance on a moment-to-moment basis are important determinants of task success. Individual differences in such metacognitive monitoring are well documented, but what determines an individual's monitoring accuracy in a particular context is yet to be fully understood. One…

Madeleine Long; Hannah Rohde; Michelle Oraa Ali; Paula Rubio-Fernandez – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
This study aims to advance our understanding of the nature and source(s) of individual differences in pragmatic language behavior over the adult lifespan. Across four story continuation experiments, we probed adults' (N = 496 participants, ages 18-82) choice of referential forms (i.e., names vs. pronouns to refer to the main character). Our…

Gross, Marina P.; Dobbins, Ian G. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Under cognitive load theory, time pressure/urgency-induced arousal is a major contributor to pupil dilation during cognition. However, pupillometric encoding studies have failed to consider the possible role of time pressure/urgency effects, instead often assuming that encoding dilations directly reflect encoding strength. To isolate possible…

Del Missier, Fabio; Stragà, Marta; Visentini, Mimì; Munaretto, Giulio; Mäntylä, Timo – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Research on prospective memory has paid no attention to the way in which the intentions to be remembered are framed. In two studies on time-based prospective memory, participants had to remember multiple delayed intentions framed as time rules (i.e., respond every 7 min, every 10 min) or as a series of corresponding instances (i.e., respond at…

Xiang, Ming; Kramer, Alex; Nordmeyer, Ann E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
In sentence comprehension, negative sentences tend to elicit more processing cost than affirmative sentences. A growing body of work has shown that pragmatic context is an important factor that contributes to negation comprehension cost. The nature of this pragmatic effect, however, is yet to be determined. In 4 behavioral experiments, the current…

Joseph, Tanya N.; Morey, Candice C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Previous work with complex memory span tasks, in which simple choice decisions are imposed between presentations of to-be-remembered items, shows that these secondary tasks reduce memory span. It is less clear how reconfiguring and maintaining various amounts of information affects decision speeds. We introduced preliminary "lead-in"…

Kaur, Shraddha; Norris, Dennis G.; Gathercole, Susan E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Running span can be performed by either passively listening to memory items or actively updating the target set. Previous research suggests that the active updating process is demanding and time consuming and is favored at slow rates of presentation while the passive strategy is employed at fast rates. Two experiments examined the time course of…

Sarigiannidis, Ioannis; Kirk, Peter A.; Roiser, Jonathan P.; Robinson, Oliver J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Anxiety alters how we perceive the world and can alter aspects of cognitive performance. Prominent theories of anxiety suggest that the effect of anxiety on cognition is due to anxious thoughts "overloading" limited cognitive resources, competing with other processes. If this is so, then a cognitive load manipulation should impact…

Belletier, Clément; Camos, Valérie; Barrouillet, Pierre – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Several working memory (WM) theories assume a resource sharing between the maintenance of information and its processing, whereas other theories suppose that these 2 functions of WM rely on different pools of resources. Studies that addressed this question by examining whether dual-task costs occur in tasks combining processing and storage have…

Knutsen, Dominique; Brunellière, Angèle – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
During dialogue, people reach mutual comprehension through the production of feedback markers such as "yeah" or "okay." The purpose of the current study was to determine if mental load affects feedback production, as there is currently no consensus as to how mental load constrains the way in which dialogue partners reach mutual…

van 't Wout, Félice; Jarrold, Christopher – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Recent findings have shown that language plays an important role in the acquisition of novel cognitive tasks (van 't Wout & Jarrold, 2020). The current study sought to elucidate the factors that influence the contribution of language to novel task learning, focusing specifically on the role of task complexity (defined by the number of…

Wiebels, Kristina; Addis, Donna Rose; Moreau, David; van Mulukom, Valerie; Onderdijk, Kelsey E.; Roberts, Reece P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Reports on differences between remembering the past and imagining the future have led to the hypothesis that constructing future events is a more cognitively demanding process. However, factors that influence these increased demands, such as whether the event has been previously constructed and the types of details comprising the event, have…

Papenmeier, Frank; Boss, Annika; Mahlke, Anne-Kathrin – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Observers represent everyday actions in event models along multiple dimensions such as space, time, or goals. Whenever new information along those dimensions is perceived, the event model is updated accordingly. In 3 experiments, we investigated event model updating associated with goal changes during ongoing actions that involved both an agent…
