Besken, Miri – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Manipulations that induce disfluency during encoding generally produce lower memory predictions for the disfluent condition than for the fluent condition. Similar to other manipulations of disfluency, generating lies takes longer and requires more mental effort than does telling the truth; hence, a manipulation of lie generation might produce…

Wammes, Jeffrey D.; Meade, Melissa E.; Fernandes, Myra A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Drawing a picture of to-be-remembered information substantially boosts memory performance in free-recall tasks. In the current work, we sought to test the notion that drawing confers its benefit to memory performance by creating a detailed recollection of the encoding context. In Experiments 1 and 2, we demonstrated that for both pictures and…

Schmidtke, Daniel; Van Dyke, Julie A.; Kuperman, Victor – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Semantic transparency effects during compound word recognition provide critical insight into the organization of semantic knowledge and the nature of semantic processing. The past 25 years of psycholinguistic research on compound semantic transparency has produced discrepant effects, leaving the existence and nature of its influence unresolved. In…

Kim, Albert E.; Oines, Leif; Miyake, Akira – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
This study investigated the processes reflected in the widely observed N400 and P600 event-related potential (ERP) effects and tested the hypothesis that the N400 and P600 effects are functionally linked in a tradeoff relationship, constrained in part by individual differences in cognitive ability. Sixty participants read sentences, and ERP…

Kogut, Tehila; Slovic, Paul – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
The singularity effect of identifiable victims is described as the greater willingness to help a single, identified victim than to help a group of victims with the same need (whether victims are identified or not), which occurs even when the single victim is one of the group's members. The current research examines the development of this…

Protopapas, Athanassios; Kapnoula, Efthymia C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Effects of lexical and sublexical variables on visual word recognition are often treated as homogeneous across participants and stable over time. In this study, we examine the modulation of frequency, length, syllable and bigram frequency, orthographic neighborhood, and graphophonemic consistency effects by (a) individual differences, and (b) item…

Fernbach, Philip M.; Erb, Christopher D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
The authors propose and test a causal model theory of reasoning about conditional arguments with causal content. According to the theory, the acceptability of modus ponens (MP) and affirming the consequent (AC) reflect the conditional likelihood of causes and effects based on a probabilistic causal model of the scenario being judged. Acceptability…

Taylor, Kirsten I.; Salamoura, Angeliki; Randall, Billi; Moss, Helen; Tyler, Lorraine K. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
The conceptual structure account of semantic memory (CSA; L. K. Tyler & H. E. Moss, 2001) claims that feature correlation (the degree to which features co-occur) and feature distinctiveness (the number of concepts in which a feature occurs) interact with domains of knowledge (e.g., living vs. nonliving) such that the distinctive features of…

Ecker, Ullrich K. H.; Lewandowsky, Stephan; Oberauer, Klaus; Chee, Abby E. H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2010
Working memory updating (WMU) has been identified as a cognitive function of prime importance for everyday tasks and has also been found to be a significant predictor of higher mental abilities. Yet, little is known about the constituent processes of WMU. We suggest that operations required in a typical WMU task can be decomposed into 3 major…
