Wang, Benchi; Theeuwes, Jan; Olivers, Christian N. L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Evidence shows that visual working memory (VWM) is strongly served by attentional mechanisms, whereas other evidence shows that VWM representations readily survive when attention is being taken away. To reconcile these findings, we tested the hypothesis that directing attention away makes a memory representation vulnerable to interference from the…

Kelly, Laura Jane; Heit, Evan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
How does the concurrent use of language affect perception and memory for exemplars? Labels cue more general category information than a specific exemplar. Applying labels can affect the resulting memory for an exemplar. Here 3 alternative hypotheses are proposed for the role of labeling an exemplar at encoding: (a) labels distort memory toward the…

Rey-Mermet, Alodie; Gade, Miriam; Oberauer, Klaus – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Inhibition is often conceptualized as a unitary construct reflecting the ability to ignore and suppress irrelevant information. At the same time, it has been subdivided into inhibition of prepotent responses (i.e., the ability to stop dominant responses) and resistance to distracter interference (i.e., the ability to ignore distracting…

Wantz, Andrea L.; Borst, Grégoire; Mast, Fred W.; Lobmaier, Janek S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Mental color imagery abilities are commonly measured using paradigms that involve naming, judging, or comparing the colors of visual mental images of well-known objects (e.g., "Is a sunflower darker yellow than a lemon"?). Although this approach is widely used in patient studies, differences in the ability to perform such color…

Alards-Tomalin, Doug; Leboe-McGowan, Jason P.; Shaw, Joshua D. M.; Leboe-McGowan, Launa C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
The relative magnitude (or intensity) of an event can have direct implications on timing estimation. Previous studies have found that greater magnitude stimuli are often reported as longer in duration than lesser magnitudes, including Arabic digits (Xuan, Zhang, He, & Chen, 2007). One explanation for these findings is that different…

Segaert, Katrien; Weber, Kirsten; Cladder-Micus, Mira; Hagoort, Peter – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
Speakers sometimes repeat syntactic structures across sentences, a phenomenon called syntactic priming. We investigated the influence of verb-bound syntactic preferences on syntactic priming effects in response choices and response latencies for German ditransitive sentences. In the response choices we found "inverse preference effects":…

Bugg, Julie M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
The conflict monitoring account posits that globally high levels of conflict trigger engagement of top-down control; however, recent findings point to the mercurial nature of top-down control in high conflict contexts. The current study examined the potential moderating effect of associative learning on conflict-triggered top-down control…
