The Modulation of Value-Driven Attentional Capture by Exploration for Reward Information
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ju, Jangkyu; Cho, Yang Seok – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Previous studies on value-driven attentional capture (VDAC) have demonstrated that the uncertainty of reward value modulates attentional allocation via associative learning. However, it is unclear whether such attentional exploration is executed based on the amount of potential reward information available for refining value prediction or the…

On the Interdependence of Post-Error Control and Memory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dames, Hannah; Pfeuffer, Christina U. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Post-error cognitive control processes are evident in post-error slowing (PES) and post-error increased accuracy (PIA). A recent theory (Wessel, 2018) proposes that post-error control disrupts not only ongoing motor activity but also current task-set representations, suggesting an interdependence of post-error control and memory. In 2 experiments,…

Inconsistent Operations: A Weapon of Math Disruption
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jarosz, Andrew F.; Jaeger, Allison J. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2019
Word problems embed a math equation within a short narrative. Due to their structure, both numerical and linguistic factors can contribute to problem difficulty. The present studies explored the role of irrelevant information in word problems, to determine whether its negative impact is due to numerical (foregrounding hypothesis) or linguistic…

Surprise and Destabilize: Prediction Error Influences Episodic Memory Reconsolidation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sinclair, Alyssa H.; Barense, Morgan D. – Learning & Memory, 2018
Through the process of "reconsolidation," reminders can temporarily destabilize memories and render them vulnerable to change. Recent rodent research has proposed that prediction error, or the element of surprise, is a key component of this process; yet, this hypothesis has never before been extended to complex episodic memories in…

The Role of Action Coordination for Prospective Memory: Task-Interruption Demands Affect Intention Realization
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rummel, Jan; Wesslein, Ann-Katrin; Meiser, Thorsten – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
Event-based prospective memory (PM) is the ability to remember to perform an intention in response to an environmental cue. Recent microstructure models postulate four distinguishable stages of successful event-based PM fulfillment. That is, (a) the event must be noticed, (b) the intention must be retrieved, (c) the context must be verified, and…

Conflict-Triggered Top-Down Control: Default Mode, Last Resort, or No Such Thing?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bugg, Julie M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
The conflict monitoring account posits that globally high levels of conflict trigger engagement of top-down control; however, recent findings point to the mercurial nature of top-down control in high conflict contexts. The current study examined the potential moderating effect of associative learning on conflict-triggered top-down control…
