Chen, Xuemei; Wang, Suiping; Hartsuiker, Robert J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Structural priming studies in production have demonstrated stronger priming effects for unexpected sentence structures (inverse preference effect). This is consistent with error-based implicit learning accounts that assume learning depends on prediction error. Such prediction error can be verb-specific, leading to strong priming when a verb that…

Jansen, Thorben; Vögelin, Cristina; Machts, Nils; Keller, Stefan; Möller, Jens – Frontline Learning Research, 2021
When judging subject-specific aspects of students' texts, teachers should assess various characteristics, e.g., spelling and content, independently of one another since these characteristics are indicators of different skills. Independent judgments enable teachers to adapt their classroom instruction according to students' skills. It is still…

Gómez, David M.; Jiménez, Abelino; Bobadilla, Roberto; Reyes, Cristián; Dartnell, Pablo – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
The application to rational numbers of the procedures and intuitions proper of natural numbers is known as Natural Number Bias. Research on the cognitive foundations of this bias suggests that it stems not from a lack of understanding of rational numbers, but from the way the human mind represents them. In this work, we presented a fraction…

Riemer, Martin; Trojan, Jorg; Kleinbohl, Dieter; Holzl, Rupert – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Systematic errors in time reproduction tasks have been interpreted as a misperception of time and therefore seem to contradict basic assumptions of pacemaker-accumulator models. Here we propose an alternative explanation of this phenomenon based on methodological constraints regarding the direction of time, which cannot be manipulated in…

Corley, Martin; Brocklehurst, Paul H.; Moat, H. Susannah – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
To compare the properties of inner and overt speech, Oppenheim and Dell (2008) counted participants' self-reported speech errors when reciting tongue twisters either overtly or silently and found a bias toward substituting phonemes that resulted in words in both conditions, but a bias toward substituting similar phonemes only when speech was…

Nilsson, Hakan; Winman, Anders; Juslin, Peter; Hansson, Goran – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2009
This article explores the configural weighted average (CWA) hypothesis suggesting that extension biases, like conjunction and disjunction errors, occur because people estimate compound probabilities by taking a CWA of the constituent probabilities. The hypothesis suggests a process consistent with well-known cognitive constraints, which…
