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…

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…

Chen, Edward H.; Bailey, Drew H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
We performed a meta-analysis of dual-task experiments to assess the robustness of the effects of conducting working memory secondary tasks on arithmetic performance. Four hundred effect sizes from 21 studies from 1,049 participants were analyzed across a variety of specifications. Results revealed that increases in working memory load resulted in…

Finn, Bridgid; Miele, David B. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Remembered utility is the retrospective evaluation about the pleasure and pain associated with a past experience. It can influence choices about repeating or avoiding similar situations in the future (Kahneman, 2000). A set of 5 experiments explored the remembered utility of effortful test episodes and how it impacted future test choices.…

Öllinger, Michael; Jones, Gary; Faber, Amory H.; Knoblich, Günther – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
The 8-coin insight problem requires the problem solver to move 2 coins so that each coin touches exactly 3 others. Ormerod, MacGregor, and Chronicle (2002) explained differences in task performance across different versions of the 8-coin problem using the availability of particular moves in a 2-dimensional search space. We explored 2 further…
