Lalchandani, Lakshmi A.; Healy, Alice F. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
There are three unique cognitive mechanisms during note taking: generative processing, summarization, and sustained attention. Generative processing is active construction of associations between novel information and prior knowledge and experiences. Summarization forces identification of the most pertinent information to create a coherent…

Cohen, Anna-Lisa; Goldberg, Chaim; Mintz, Jonathan; Shavalian, Elliot – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
"Narrative transportation" is a state of total immersion that arises when one becomes engaged in a story. In Cohen et al. (2015), participants viewed a suspenseful film either with order of scenes intact or scrambled (out of chronological order). Participants had to remember to raise their hand every time they heard a film character say…

Wulff, Alia N.; Hyman, Ira E., Jr. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
People do not constantly watch for accidents and crimes. With their attention focused elsewhere, potential witnesses may fail to notice a crime and experience inattentional blindness. We investigated the impact of inattentional blindness on eyewitness awareness and memory. Participants watched a video in which a theft occurs. We manipulated the…

Redlich, Dennis; Memmert, Daniel; Kreitz, Carina – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
During the past two decades, the interest in investigating the phenomenon of inattentional blindness strongly increased and resulted in a fraying of paradigms investigating this specific failure of awareness. We reviewed 129 full-text articles containing 219 experiments for their design and methods to create awareness for the growing variety of…

Kilijanek, Aleksandra; Ozga, Wioletta Karina – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
The study's main goal was to investigate the impact of various types of shocking content of provocative advertisements on brand recall and visual attention engagement. The experiment used the eye-tracker (iViewX RED500) to record the eye movements. Forty-one participants were divided into two groups. Provocative (drastic, religious, and erotic)…

Zhang, Han; Miller, Kevin F.; Sun, Xin; Cortina, Kai S. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
Video lectures are increasingly prevalent, but they present challenges to learners. Students' minds often wander, yet we know little about how mind wandering affects attention during video lectures. This paper presents two studies that examined eye movement patterns of mind wandering during video lectures. In the studies, mind wandering reports…

Wotring, Brian; Dingus, Tom; Atwood, Jon; Guo, Feng; McClafferty, Julie; Buchanan-King, Mindy – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
The current study analysed crashes identified in a large-scale naturalistic driving database to assess the prevalence of cognitive disengagement (i.e., purely cognitive distraction and mind wandering/microsleep) or episodes wherein the driver did not look away from the roadway during secondary task completion or wherein another clearly observable…

Göbel, Kyra; Niessen, Cornelia – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
Dealing with unwanted thoughts is a recurrent phenomenon in everyday life. The present study focuses on intrusive thoughts in the work context and examines the protective function of thought control for self-esteem. Possible mediators (negative affect, task focus) and individual differences in the ability to control unwanted thoughts are also…

Love, Steven; Truelove, Verity; Rowland, Bevan; Kannis-Dymand, Lee – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
This study aimed to explore the self-regulatory experiences and perceptions of drivers' attentional processes on the road, via a metacognitive framework. A total of 46 Australian drivers participated in a phone interview and thematic analysis was applied to the data. The results revealed that effective self-reported attention regulation was…

Pepin, Guillaume; Fort, Alexandra; Jallais, Christophe; Moreau, Fabien; Ndiaye, Daniel; Navarro, Jordan; Gabaude, Catherine – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
Mind-wandering (MW) has a negative impact on tasks requiring sustained and divided attention like driving. During MW, drivers experience perceptual decoupling. As driving is mainly a visual activity, it would seem to be appropriate to evaluate stages of visual information processing impaired during MW, using event-related potential techniques. The…

Murphy, Gillian; Murphy, Lisa – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2018
Change blindness is the striking inability to detect seemingly obvious changes that occur between views of a scene. The current study assessed perceptual load as a factor that may affect change blindness for human faces. The study had participants (n = 103) interact with a researcher in a testing room that imposed low or high perceptual load.…

Weger, Ulrich; Wagemann, Johannes; Meyer, Andreas – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2018
Mind wandering is an inherently inner (or first-person) phenomenon that leaves few direct traces for third-person enquiry. Nonetheless, psychologists often study mind wandering using third-person (e.g., behavioral or neuronal) research methods. And although research-participants may well be asked to introspect on their mind wandering experiences…

Ehret, Sonja; Roth, Sibylle; Zimmermann, Salome U.; Selter, Andy; Thomaschke, Roland – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
In the present study, we examined the impact of the interaction of environmental and task-induced attentional focus on time perception, specifically awareness of the time flow. We tested 48 participants in either a natural or urban setting over three 25- to 35-min sessions. We manipulated the within-subjects factor task by means of two tasks--one…

Mashayekhi, Sepideh; Moradi, AliReza; Mirabolfathi, Vida; Hasani, Jafar; Farahimanesh, Sharareh; Jobson, Laura – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
People living with HIV can experience posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Complex relationships exist between HIV, PTSD and cognitive impairments. This cross-sectional study compared three cognitive impairments (false memory, attentional bias, deficits in future thinking) among people living with HIV with and without PTSD in Iran. People living…

Rop, Gertjan; Schüler, Anne; Verkoeijen, Peter P. J. L.; Scheiter, Katharina; Van Gog, Tamara – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2018
Although the presentation of extraneous (i.e., irrelevant or unnecessary) information hinders learning, it is unclear whether and how layout and pacing influence this effect. In two experiments, participants learned how the heart functions using four different layouts: a diagram presented without unnecessary text (diagram only), with unnecessary…
