Lavric, Aureliu; Clapp, Amanda; East, Antonia; Elchlepp, Heike; Monsell, Stephen – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
A key index of top-down control in task switching--preparation for a switch--is underexplored in language switching. The well-documented EEG "signature" of preparation for a task switch--a protracted positive-polarity modulation over the posterior scalp--has thus far not been reported in language switching, and the interpretation of…

Stites, Mallory C.; Federmeier, Kara D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
We used eye tracking to investigate the downstream processing consequences of encountering noun/verb (NV) homographs (i.e., park) in semantically neutral but syntactically constraining contexts. Target words were followed by a prepositional phrase containing a noun that was plausible for only 1 meaning of the homograph. Replicating previous work,…

Rhodes, Rebecca E.; Rodriguez, Fernando; Shah, Priti – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
Previous studies have investigated the influence of neuroscience information or images on ratings of scientific evidence quality but have yielded mixed results. We examined the influence of neuroscience information on evaluations of flawed scientific studies after taking into account individual differences in scientific reasoning skills, thinking…
