Cheng, Maurice M. W.; Gilbert, John K. – International Journal of Science Education, 2014
This study investigated the mental representations of metallic bonding and the malleability of metals held by three male students aged 14-15 (Year 10) who were attending a Hong Kong school. One student was selected by their chemistry teacher as representing each of the highest, the medium, and the lowest level of attainment in chemistry in a…

Wuhr, Peter; Biebl, Rupert – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
This study investigates the impact of working memory (WM) load on response conflicts arising from spatial (non) correspondence between irrelevant stimulus location and response location (Simon effect). The dominant view attributes the Simon effect to automatic processes of location-based response priming. The automaticity view predicts…

Metzker, Manja; Dreisbach, Gesine – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Recently, it was proposed that the Simon effect would result not only from two interfering processes, as classical dual-route models assume, but from three processes. It was argued that priming from the spatial code to the nonspatial code might facilitate the identification of the nonspatial stimulus feature in congruent Simon trials. In the…
