Direct linkTraverso, Laura; Tonizzi, Irene; Usai, M. Carmen; Viterbori, Paola – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
Children's arithmetic performance is dependent on the arithmetic task format, but little is known about how domain-specific and domain-general abilities contribute to solving diverse arithmetic problems. In this study, 145 Italian typically developing children between the ages of five and six, who have not yet received formal schooling, were…

Artyom Zinchenko; Markus Conci; Hermann J. Müller; Thomas Geyer – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Visual search is faster when a fixed target location is paired with a spatially invariant (vs. randomly changing) distractor configuration, thus indicating that repeated contexts are learned, thereby guiding attention to the target (contextual cueing [CC]). Evidence for memory-guided attention has also been revealed with electrophysiological…

Tilo Strobach; Julia Karbach – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
Previous studies demonstrated that dual-task impairments are higher in children than in young adults. A previous study systematically assessed the sources of these larger dual-task impairments by identifying age-related differences in capacity limitations during dual-task processing. Capacity limitations in central cognitive processes were present…

Melissa Ballesteros-Mejía; María Angélica Madero – Journal of Visual Literacy, 2024
Images are central to our understanding of and learning about our world. We argue that visual training needs to be improved in the higher education system to enhance the potential of visual thinking to mediate productively our relationship with the context we inhabit. Initiatives from the social sciences and humanities since the end of the twenty…

De Deyne, Simon; Navarro, Danielle J.; Collell, Guillem; Perfors, Andrew – Cognitive Science, 2021
One of the main limitations of natural language-based approaches to meaning is that they do not incorporate multimodal representations the way humans do. In this study, we evaluate how well different kinds of models account for people's representations of both concrete and abstract concepts. The models we compare include unimodal distributional…

The Performance Costs of Interruption during Visual Search Are Determined by the Type of Search Task
Alonso, David; Lavelle, Mark; Drew, Trafton – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
Prior research has shown that interruptions lead to a variety of performance costs. However, these costs are heterogenous and poorly understood. Under some circumstances, interruptions lead to large decreases in accuracy on the primary task, whereas in others task duration increases, but task accuracy is unaffected. Presently, the underlying cause…

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…

Rehrig, Gwendolyn L.; Cheng, Michelle; McMahan, Brian C.; Shome, Rahul – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
A major problem in human cognition is to understand how newly acquired information and long-standing beliefs about the environment combine to make decisions and plan behaviors. Over-dependence on long-standing beliefs may be a significant source of suboptimal decision-making in unusual circumstances. While the contribution of long-standing beliefs…

Gao, Zaifeng; Li, Jiaofeng; Wu, Jinglan; Dai, Alessandro; Liao, Huayu; Shen, Mowei – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Working memory (WM) has a limited capacity; however, this limitation can be mitigated by selecting individual items from the set currently held in WM for prioritization. The selection mechanism underlying this prioritization ability is referred to as the focus of attention (FOA) in WM. Although impressive progress has been achieved in recent…

Besken, Miri; Mulligan, Neil W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Ancient as well as modern writers have promoted the idea that bizarre images enhance memory. Research has documented bizarreness effects, with one standard technique finding that sentences describing unusual, implausible, or bizarre scenarios are better remembered than sentences describing plausible, every day, or common scenarios. Not…

Ni, Pingping; Xue, Lingfeng; Cai, Jiajing; Wen, Minjie; He, Jie – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Visual perspective-taking is the ability to perceive the world from another person's perspective, and research on visual perspective-taking ability in children with autism spectrum conditions yielded inconsistent results. To solve a visual perspective-taking task, people can mentally rotate themselves to another person's location (embodied…

Godard, Marc; Wamain, Yannick; Ott, Laurent; Delepoulle, Samuel; Kalénine, Solène – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
Recent evidence in adults indicates that object perceptual processing is affected by the competition between action representations. In the absence of a specific motor plan, reachable objects associated with distinct structural (grasping) and functional (using) actions (e.g., calculator) elicit slower judgments than objects associated with similar…

E.; Newhouse, Morgan; Nielsen, Mark G.; Ramos, Karlos; Rawlings, Bruce; dos Santos, Renan A. C.; Silveira, Lara G. S.; Tucker-Drob, Elliot M.; Legare, Cristine H. – Developmental Science, 2022
Self-regulation is a widely studied construct, generally assumed to be cognitively supported by executive functions (EFs). There is a lack of clarity and consensus over the roles of specific components of EFs in self-regulation. The current study examines the relations between performance on (a) a self-regulation task (Heads, Toes, Knees Shoulders…

Zappullo, Isa; Senese, Vincenzo Paolo; Milo, Rosa; Positano, Monica; Cecere, Roberta; Raimo, Gennaro; Conson, Massimiliano – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Inconsistent data are available on mental rotation performance in neurotypicals with high autistic-like traits. Here, we tested whether global-local visual processing abilities mediate the influence of specific autistic-like trait domains (social skill, attention switching, attention-to-detail, communication, and imagination) on mental rotation.…

Kang, Tinghu; Tang, Tinghao; Zhang, Peizhi; Luo, Shu; Qi, Huanhuan – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Background: The ability to translate concrete manipulatives into abstract mathematical formulas can aid in the solving of mathematical word problems among students, and metacognitive prompts play a significant role in enhancing this process. Aims: Based on the concept of semantic congruence, we explored the effects of metacognitive prompts and…
