Krefeld-Schwalb, Antonia; Donkin, Chris; Newell, Ben R.; Scheibehenne, Benjamin – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Past research indicates that individuals respond adaptively to contextual factors in multiattribute choice tasks. Yet it remains unclear how this adaptation is cognitively governed. In this article, empirically testable implementations of two prominent competing theoretical frameworks are developed and compared across two multiattribute choice…

Mundorf, Abigail M. D.; Lazarus, Linh T. T.; Uitvlugt, Mitchell G.; Healey, M. Karl – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
The temporal contiguity effect (TCE) is the tendency for the recall of one event to cue recall of other events originally experienced nearby in time. Retrieved context theory proposes that the TCE results from fundamental properties of episodic memory: binding of events to a drifting context representation during encoding and the reinstatement of…

Spiliopoulos, Leonidas; Ortmann, Andreas; Zhang, Le – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
We test empirically the strategic counterpart of the Adaptive Decision Maker hypothesis (Payne, Bettman, & Johnson, 1993), which states that decision makers adapt their attention and decision rules to time pressure in predictable ways. For 29 normal form games, we test whether players adapt to tightening time constraints by reducing their…

de Zubicaray, Greig I.; Arciuli, Joanne; Kearney, Elaine; Guenther, Frank; McMahon, Katie L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Grounded or embodied cognition research has employed body-object interaction (BOI; e.g., Pexman et al., 2019) ratings to investigate sensorimotor effects during language processing. We investigated relationships between BOI ratings and nonarbitrary statistical mappings between words' phonological forms and their syntactic category in English;…

Muraki, Emiko J.; Pexman, Penny M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
In embodied theories of semantic representation, the processes and mechanisms of modal simulations that are engaged during semantic processing have tended to be underspecified. We investigated the possibility that motor imagery may be a mechanism of simulation, using an individual differences approach. In this preregistered study, we assessed…

Connell, Louise; Lynott, Dermot – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Perceptual simulations are unconscious and automatic, whereas perceptual imagery is conscious and deliberate, but it is unclear how easily one can transfer perceptual information from unconscious to conscious awareness. We investigated whether it is possible to be aware of what one is mentally representing; that is, whether it is possible to…

White, Corey N.; Poldrack, Russell A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
The ability to adjust bias, or preference for an option, allows for great behavioral flexibility. Decision bias is also important for understanding cognition as it can provide useful information about underlying cognitive processes. Previous work suggests that bias can be adjusted in 2 primary ways: by adjusting how the stimulus under…

Ghaffarzadegan, Navid; Stewart, Thomas R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
Elwin, Juslin, Olsson, and Enkvist (2007) and Henriksson, Elwin, and Juslin (2010) offered the constructivist coding hypothesis to describe how people code the outcomes of their decisions when availability of feedback is conditional on the decision. They provided empirical evidence only for the 0.5 base rate condition. This commentary argues that…
