Sarcasm is commonly used in everyday language; however, little is currently known about cultural and individual differences in sarcasm interpretation and use, particularly across Western and Eastern cultures. To address these gaps in the literature, the present study investigated individual differences in sarcasm interpretation and use in the UK…

Imbo, Ineke; LeFevre, Jo-Anne – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
Imbo and LeFevre (2009) observed that Asians (responding in their 2nd language) selected strategies less adaptively than did non-Asians (responding in their 1st language). In the present research, we tested whether adaptive strategy selection is (a) really more resource demanding for Asians than for non-Asians or (b) more resource demanding for…

Kusev, Petko; van Schaik, Paul; Ayton, Peter; Dent, John; Chater, Nick – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
In 5 experiments, we studied precautionary decisions in which participants decided whether or not to buy insurance with specified cost against an undesirable event with specified probability and cost. We compared the risks taken for precautionary decisions with those taken for equivalent monetary gambles. Fitting these data to Tversky and…

Rayner, Keith; Castelhano, Monica S.; Yang, Jinmian – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
Recent studies have suggested that eye movement patterns while viewing scenes differ for people from different cultural backgrounds and that these differences in how scenes are viewed are due to differences in the prioritization of information (background or foreground). The current study examined whether there are cultural differences in how…

Imbo, Ineke; LeFevre, Jo-Anne – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
In the present study, the authors tested the effects of working-memory load on math problem solving in 3 different cultures: Flemish-speaking Belgians, English-speaking Canadians, and Chinese-speaking Chinese currently living in Canada. Participants solved complex addition problems (e.g., 58 + 76) in no-load and working-memory load conditions, in…

Mitterer, Holger; Horschig, Jorn M.; Musseler, Jochen; Majid, Asifa – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
World knowledge influences how we perceive the world. This study shows that this influence is at least partly mediated by declarative memory. Dutch and German participants categorized hues from a yellow-to-orange continuum on stimuli that were prototypically orange or yellow and that were also associated with these color labels. Both groups gave…
